CANDYMAN + Book Launch


  • A visually sumptuous and texturally rich urban-Gothic slasher fantasy from British director Bernard Rose (Paperhouse, ivansxtc), CANDYMAN explores timely ideas of race, class, gentrification and inequality in the city of Chicago, and specifically the notorious Cabrini Green housing project. 

While it takes place in a very different setting - an English country mansion with a gruesome past - THE CRACKS investigates similar themes of class privilege, historical injustice and how the spirit of the past always infuses the present. 

Join us for drinks in the bar and a chance to buy a copy of this brand new book from7.30pm, before we repair to the Rio's wonderful screen one at 8.30pm to enjoy a film that doesn't get screened nearly as much as it deserves to!

This screening will feature a brief introduction by author of The Cracks, Tom Huddleston.
