Hot French Military Action In My Living Room

This weeks Movie In Her Living Room (Wed Sept 17th, 9pm, downstairs in Pantibar) is the french homoerotic sweat fest Beau Travail.



Inspired by Herman Melville's Billy Budd, Beau Travail is the most provocative and accomplished film yet by French director Claire Denis (Chocolat, I Can't Sleep, Nenette and Boni). Set against the stunning East African enclave of Djibouti, Beau Travail follows a troupe of men in a small French Foreign Legion outpost. Exercising their muscular torsos under the blaring sun, each day the Legionnaires engage in a hypnotically choreographed routine of drills, chores, and mock battles. Sergeant Galoup (Denis Lavant) seems the ideal Legionnaire: a brooding loner, cut off from his past. He runs the troupe like a well-oiled machine, until his jealously for a promising young recruit, Sentain, threatens the delicate balance of his life. With the haunting suspense of a Greek tragedy, Galoup's uncontrollable urge to destroy Sentain ultimately leads to his own downfall.



Oooh Mommy!

Hot Lesbo Action at Movies In Her Living Room

This weeks movie (Wed Sept 10th, 9pm) is the French thriller The Page Turner. Think 'The Hand That Rocks The Cradle' with sophisticated French lesbo action. It was a huge box-office hit in France.

It's a beautifully shot thriller about a young woman who's love of music becomes a passion for revenge. Sharp, sleek, and sexy, this is a wonderfully observed study of talent and thwarted ambition, with an added dollop of hot lesbo action. Gorgeous and fabulous.

Here's the trailer:

A Play In Her Living Room

As part of the Dublin Fringe Festival we have a play in our Living Room all this week: Sept 8th - 14th, 6:15pm.

LUCK

Making Strange Theatre Company invites you to Luck, a cocktail party packed with interrogations, revelations, blackjack bootcamp, Vegas tunes, and cheeseballs. This one-woman show, based on performer Megan Riordan's own life as the daughter of a professional gambler in Las Vegas, powers its way through questions of serendipity, destiny, free will and faith, against a background of games of chance in which the audience are invited—and occasionally required--to play.

Making Strange have devised Luck in collaboration with New York guest director Dodd Loomis and writer Shawn Sturnick. Theatrical powerhouse and Las Vegas native Megan Riordan confesses true stories of swindling casinos, bonding with her father in disguise over a blackjack table and training to be a member of an elite international gambling team. Continuing Making Strange's pursuit of cutting-edge theatre, the structure and material of the show every night is based in part on the luck of the audience... the show they get is in the dice they roll and the cards they flip.

 

Tickets can be booked thriugh the Fringe's website. www.fringefest.com

No Late Bar On Tuesdays

Unfortunately, Pantibar will no longer be opening late on Tuesdays anymore. The new liscencing laws included a 100% increase in the cost of a late night 'exemption', which has made late opening uneconomical for us mid-week.

So, from now on, Pantibar will open late only on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.

This weeks Movie, Sept 3rd, is...

THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH, starring David Bowie, directed by Nicolas Roeg (Don't Look Now, Walkabout).

David Bowie plays Thomas Jerome Newton, an androgene humanoid alien who comes to Earth from a distant planet seeking a way to ferry his people from his home planet to Earth. His home planet of Anthea is experiencing a terrible drought.

Newton uses the advanced technology of his home planet to patent many inventions on Earth, and rises to incredible wealth as the head of a technology-based conglomerate, World Enterprises Corporation, aided by leading patent attorney Oliver V. Farnsworth. Secretly, this wealth is needed to construct his own space vehicle program in order to ship water back to his home planet.

He meets Mary-Lou (Candy Clark), a cute but lonely, unloved and simple girl working as an elevator operator in a hotel. Soon, a love affair begins between the two, and Mary-Lou introduces Newton to many customs of Earth culture; amongst them church-going, fashion, alcohol, and eventually humanoid sex. However, his appetite for alcohol and television become crippling, slowly souring his relationship. His secret identity as an alien is also discovered by his intensely curious fuel technician Nathan Bryce (Rip Torn), one of Newton's few friends. He also reveals his true form as an alien to Mary-Lou, who is intensely shocked and unable to cope with his secret life.

Newton attempts to take the spaceship on its maiden voyage amongst a myriad of press exposure, but just before his scheduled take-off he is detained, apparently by the government, while operatives kill his key business partners including Farnsworth. The government, which has received the tip that he is an alien through Bryce, holds him captive in a luxury apartment where they continuously send him through rigorous and inhumane tests, culminating in the contact lenses in his disguise being permanently affixed to his eyes due to X-rays.

Towards the end of his captivity, he is visited again by Mary-Lou, now far older, her once wholesomely pretty face and figure having been ravaged by the years, who, despite her now primarily sexual interests in Newton, ultimately realizes that the relationship between them has failed. When she leaves, Newton discovers that his 'prison' is unlocked and that the government evidently has no further interest in him, so he leaves.

Newton has ultimately failed in his mission to save his dying planet, ending up trapped on Earth - broken, lonely, and embittered. Without other options, he creates a recording with alien messages, which he hopes will be broadcast via radio to his home-planet to say goodbye. Nathan Bryce buys one of these recordings and decides to meet Newton, curious to know what was on the recording; Bryce is now showing signs of old age, but Newton is still young, however he is depressed, embittered, and drunken, trying with difficulty to remain stoic in the face of his defeat, no longer interested in trying to save his people.
