Third Eye Films presents: The Damned United

One screening only on November 9th, 7pm at the Capitol Theatre, Main Street

Based on a novel by David Peace, The Damned United is an affectionate, tongue-in-cheek homage to English football in the 1970s….

Reuniting the stellar partnership of screenwriter Peter Morgan and star Michael Sheen (Frost/Nixon, The Queen), the film is a welcome alternative to the standard inspirational sports biopic and can most definitely be enjoyed without knowledge of the ins and outs of English football. Set in 1974, The Damned United follows former England player Brian Clough (Michael Sheen) – now revered as one of the greatest English football managers – and his brief 44-day tenure as coach of the Leeds United football club. Prior to this posting, he successfully presided over Derby, lifting the club to new heights with the aid of his indispensable right-hand man, Peter Taylor (Timothy Spall, Pierrepoint: The Last Hangman), and the belief that the beautiful game “must be played beautifully.”

Away We Go (Director Sam Mendes, USA 2009)

Sam Mendes collaborates with Dave Eggers, who writes the script, in this road movie. It follows a young couple, expecting their first

baby, who embark on a journey across the US and Canada in quest of the ideal place to raise their child. The cast features Maggie

Gyllenhaal, Catherine O’Hara, and Jeff Daniels, but it is the way the lead actors Maya Rudolph (A Prairie Home Companion) and John

Krazinski (The Office) interact on screen that elevates this indie comedy to something with more depth.
