Oswestry Film Society Screening
Tuesday 19th September 7:30pm? With all his Wrexham attention up the road, it's about time here at the Oswestry Film Society we put on a Ryan Reynolds film - and in Buried he shows what a serious and intense actor he can be.
Reynolds stars as Paul Conroy, a non-military contract lorry driver in Iraq, circa 2006. He wakes up in total darkness, shocked to discover that he's in a coffin, apparently buried alive somewhere in the Iraqi desert. He has a cigarette lighter, a flask, and a mobile phone - and 90 minutes of air but no way out. He begins calling anyone he can think of for help, all the while fighting an endless array of troubles - mainly the ever-diminishing air supply inside the coffin, but also a snake attack, a cave-in, and the horrible, horrible panic that won't ever completely go away.
The idea of staying entirely inside the coffin for a whole film is a huge challenge, and the filmmakers have mounted it admirably. They keep the audience gripped from the opening scenes, reveal information a little at a time, provide an emotional ebb and flow, and ramp it up when the time is right.
This tense, claustrophobic thriller shows Reynolds is a class act - there's so much more to him than Deadpool!
Please note the film starts at 7:30pm there are no trailers at OFS screenings Run Time: 1 hour 35 mins

24 mins / MOUNTAINS
The Karakoram mountains are known for their huge scale and jaw-dropping beauty. Nestled within them is Gulmit Tower (5810m), a technical granite pinnacle that has never been summited. Previous teams have often failed because the highly glaciated terrain makes the approach by foot long and treacherous. Fabi Buhl and Will Sim, both experienced alpinists, have a new idea. They plan to harness the power of the sky and use paragliders to fly over the glaciated terrain, reaching the base of the climb in hours, not days. Follow them on their epic journey as they attempt to set a new direction for Himalayan climbing. Total Run time: 1 hour 39 mins BOOK TICKETS HERE | |  | The Innocent - L'Innocent (15)
Thursday 21st September 7:30pm
Abel (Louis Garrel), a museum educator and widower is at his wits' end when his mother Sylvie marries Michel, a convict she met while teaching drama at the local prison. Caught up with his suspicions of his new stepfather, he remains blissfully unaware of his developing feelings for Clémence, a vivacious Noémie Merlant (PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE).
Fizzing with a cracking chemistry, and a banter à la française, THE INNOCENT is part family farce, part heist thriller but above all a heart-warming romantic entertainer.
