Whangarei Film Society - Screenings for Thursday April 27th

Geoff from Central Whangarei

Good People

For Thursday, the 27th April at 6pm we are screening the brilliant Korean film, Broker.

Our 8pm screening will be the UK documentary, Lancaster.

BROKER
Korea, (English subtitles), 2022, Rated M

From the director of Shoplifters and featuring one of the stars from Parasite, comes the top film from Cannes in 2022, Broker.

Ha Sang is the owner of a laundry and volunteers at the nearby church, where his friend Dong-soo works. They run an illegal business together: Sang-hyeon occasionally steals babies from the church's baby box (where children are left by poor families to be adopted) and Dong-soo deletes the church's surveillance footage that shows a baby was left there. They then sell the babies on the black market to rich couples who can’t have children of their own.

But when a young mother surprises the duo by returning to ensure her baby finds a good home, the three of them end up embarking on a journey together to find the right couple, building an unlikely family of their own along the way.

“One of the year’s most delightful films.” - BBC
