The Wild Bunch - Th 15 April 5pm

Still regarded by many as Peckinpah's finest film - a raw undiluted look at the passing of the traditional West when the law finally caught up with the lawless. A harsh and uncompromising move, full of gutsy characterisation and superbly observed action. The slow-motion, violent death sequences have passed into the cinema tradition to almost become a cliche This film has set the standards other Westerns are judged by.

I am sneaking a little word in for the VUWSA films in general: I am amazed at the titles which we are seeing this year. To have such a magnificent selection is a tribute to Tony Ward, our films officer. The number of people attending the screenings is incredible. A full list of films appeared in last weeks Salient.

We are running off a final list which can be picked up at the Studass office when we finalise half a dozen new additions to the list. Look for these new films. They are better than any of the films that are presently on the list and that is certainly saying something - and they will be free! (No admission will be charged).
