The Searchers, with John Wayne
Directed by John Ford, it’s a timeless Western that combines stunning cinematography with complex themes of obsession and redemption.
John Wayne delivers one of his most iconic performances as Ethan Edwards, a bitter and relentless man on a mission to rescue his niece from Comanche captors.
The film explores themes of racism, vengeance, and the deep scars of war, all whilst showcasing Ford's masterful direction and use of Monument Valley's breathtaking scenery. It’s influence on the genre is undeniable but it goes beyond this as a true landmark in American cinema. Steven Spielberg once famously declared he watches it every time he’s preparing to film a new project.
Wine will be served from 19:00 and the film will begin at 19:30.
