JOHN CRANKO

Next Screening

JOHN CRANKO

Featuring a brilliant performance from Sam Riley (Control), writer/director Joachim A. Lang’s spectacular biopic charts the comet-like trail of the brilliant titular dancer and choreographer whose too-brief career took him from South Africa to the world’s greatest ballet stages.

In 1960, Up-and-coming choreographer Cranko (Riley) has left London’s Sadler’s Wells Ballet after being prosecuted for homosexual activity (at the time illegal in the UK), and has arrived in Stuttgart, Germany to work with the city’s ballet company.

With his charming demeanour, the manic workaholic swiftly revitalises their fortunes. After a controversial replacement of the prima donna and a series of new additions, Cranko’s first production of Romeo and Juliet is a sensational success: the emotional performances of his dancers move the audience to tears.

Cranko becomes the darling of the public, with a soon globally renowned ensemble, invited to perform at prestigious venues such as New York’s Metropolitan Opera and Beijing’s Tianqiao Theatre.

Driven by a quest for perfection in both art and love, Cranko grapples with destructive private setbacks, however, as long as his devoted dancers stand by him, he sees no reason to alter his intoxicating lifestyle…

With a terrific performance by Sam Riley in the title role, this handsome production — with no end of first-rate terpsichorean performance onscreen — should reignite interest in a figure whose rising international stature got curtailed. – Dennis Harvey, Variety

Noosa Film Society

With over 2000 members the Noosa Film Society is the largest such society in Australia.

The Noosa Film Society is a registered not-for-profit organisation and was established in 1979 to encourage interest in film as an art form. At first, movies were screened at the golf club to a small group of film enthusiasts once a month. Several years later, screenings were moved to the Noosa Arts Theatre where they continued to play until the cinema in Noosa Junction was built.
