THU 23 | What happens when a Show Box resident musician befriends a Swedish filmmaker on holiday in Thailand? Two independent Scandinavian art house movies featuring music by RJ. Duh. Show Box will screen both movies completely free of charge, accompanied by complementary wine to boot. Winter’s Spring (2014) is described as “an art film about integrity,” which investigates what can potentially happen when a crazy CEO spies on a journalist. The main feature film 78 (2011) is essentially a love story whose hopeless yet lovable protagonist and quirkily relatable plotline separates it from any other romantic indie film you’re likely to have seen. And don’t worry if for some reason you can’t speak Swedish, as Larsson was kind enough to include English subtitles on both films for all you plebs out there.
