Our team has now returned from Fantasia where we found some great movies that we want to show. We liked one of them so much we couldn’t wait for the festival to screen so we are presenting it in a full run at the Broadway Theatre.
Come join us on Friday August 16th at 7pm for the Saskatoon Premiere of THE ART OF SELF-DEFENSE. If you can’t join us that night don’t worry you can check out one of the other screenings:
August 16, 18, 20, 22, 25, 27 – 7:00 PM
August 17, 19, 21, 23, 26 – 9:00 PM
After he’s attacked on the street at night by a roving motorcycle gang, timid bookkeeper Casey (Jesse Eisenberg) joins a neighborhood karate studio to learn how to protect himself. Under the watchful eye of a charismatic instructor, Sensei (Alessandro Nivola), and hardcore brown belt Anna (Imogen Poots), Casey gains a newfound sense of confidence for the first time in his life. But when he attends Sensei’s mysterious night classes, he discovers a sinister world of fraternity, brutality and hyper-masculinity, presenting a journey that places him squarely in the sights of his enigmatic new mentor. Audacious and offbeat, The Art of Self-Defense is an original dark comedy that takes toxic masculinity to absurd extremes.
