In honour of its 20th anniversary, we are thrilled to present queer cowboy classic, Brokeback Mountain.
A film with such an extraordinary, yet complicated legacy – but nonetheless, wholly synonymous with LGBT+ cinema for bridging the gap with the mainstream.Taking place at the Bristol Megascreen (the former IMAX) on Saturday 5 July this is your chance to see this iconic film and breath taking cinematography and the largest cinema screen in Bristol!
Ang Lee’s beautiful, epic western tells the story of Ennis del Mar (Heath Ledger) and Jack Twist (Jake Gyllenhaal); two ranch hands hired to herd sheep on the pastures of Brokeback Mountain during the summer of 1963. Whilst the pair are initially standoffish with each other, the solitude of their environment brings them together, culminating – one night during a storm – in a highly-charged sexual encounter. This relationship becomes complicated when they return to their former lives, where they must learn to either embrace or deny their true feelings against the traditional societal views of masculinity.
We are presenting this as double bill with The Wedding Banquet with a special discounted combination ticket available
