TRANSMISSIONS PRESENTS: Starred Up
Sold Out
Next up on our basement screen is the razor sharp and tragically under-seen Starred Up (2013), David Mackenzie's hard-hitting British prison drama starring Jack O'Connell (Skins) and Ben Mendelsohn (Animal Kingdom, The Place Beyond The Pines) as father and son locked up on the same unit where volcanic tensions threaten to erupt around every corner, pulling them further apart and ever closer to numerous dangers.
Anchored by a ferocious performance from O'Connell that sparks off of Mendelsohn's own turn, Starred Up is knock-out filmmaking coursing with adrenaline that will keep you on your toes and break your heart.
An unforgettable portrayal of a father and son grasping for a way to connect, and survive in an environment where tenderness is crushed by violence, empathy is punished with quotas, and the prison system is poised to destroy them.
Join us downstairs at Dalston Superstore for a screening of an underrated slam-dunk.
