Time after Time (1979) - August Screening
1979 San Francisco with HG Wells a Time Machine and Jack the Ripper
“My name is H.G. Wells. I came here in a time machine of my own construction. I am pursuing Jack the Ripper, who escaped into the future in my machine.” - Malcolm McDowell as HG. Wells in Time After Time
A fun old school romp of a film, equal parts thriller, adventure, romance and sci-fi, looking forward to the lightness of this one after the heavy and technical difficulty prone Peppermint Candy (which was a great film don’t get me wrong). When we discussed curating this, it seems like it filled a nice gap of underseen, a bit silly but also still a real decent film - excited to see if it ticks those boxes.
The screening will take place first Sunday of August (4th from 5pm) upstairs at Creature, 140 Lygon St, Brunswick East.
