Brad Pitt: More Than a Pretty Face

Brad Pitt: More Than a Pretty Face 2022

7.20

Brad Pitt is a singular actor in Hollywood's glamorous world, breaking through his "playboy image" and embodying American cinema's renewal. At the beginning there was a humble Midwestern aware of being a smokescreen for the illusions of his time, who has managed to keep control of his image to better serve the most talented directors of our time. To name but a few: David Fincher, Quentin Tarantino, the Coen brothers, Terrence Malick, James Gray and soon Damien Chazelle. This documentary dives into the brain of a complex, brilliant and endearing personality, far from the cliché of a world-famous movie icon to discover the hidden side of the most handsome man in the world.

Battle of Long Tan 2006

In the gathering dusk of 18 August 1966, 108 young, inexperienced Australian and NZ soldiers are separated and surrounded, fighting for their lives, holding off an overwhelming force of 2,500 battle-hardened Viet Cong and North Vietnamese soldiers. And, in the pouring rain, amid the mud and shattered trees of a rubber plantation called Long Tan, with their ammunition running out and another Vietnamese battalion massing for the final assault, the digger's situation seemed hopeless. Long Tan is the true story of ordinary boys who became extraordinary men.

Broadway star Bernadette Peters headlines the 2009 Adelaide Cabaret Festival and has the crowd on their feet for three standing ovations. From her opening number, "Let Me Entertain You," Peters brings wit, emotion, and her inimitable style to a range of musical numbers and pop classics. Highlights include a playfully sexy rendition of "Fever" from atop a grand piano, a heart-rending "Rose's Turn" (from "Gypsy") and a performance of her self-penned charity single "Kramer's Song." Featuring classics from Rodgers & Hammerstein and Stephen Sondheim, Bernadette Peters charms with her bubbly personality and hilarious banter, which are overshadowed only by the rich textures of her magnificent voice.
