Minari at the Silver Screen Drive-in

June 24 9:30 to 11:30 pm

Sunday Cinema fans we’ve got you covered at the Silver Screen Drive-in! Have your heart warmed by the award-winning “Minari” on Thursday, June 24 at 9:30 pm.

A tender and sweeping story about what roots us, “Minari” follows a Korean-American family that in the 1980s moves to a tiny Arkansas farm in search of their own American Dream. Things get shaken up with the arrival of their sly, foul-mouthed, but incredibly loving grandmother. Amidst the instability and challenges of this new life in the rugged Ozarks, “Minari” shows the undeniable resilience of family and what really makes a home.

The story, inspired by the director’s own family, is named after a Korean vegetable that will grow very strongly in its second season, after it has died and come back, a poetic metaphor for the film’s themes. A beautifully filmed blend of comedy and drama, brought to life by a wonderful cast playing well-written characters.

"What makes this more than just another formulaic feelgood film is the grit with which Chung evokes the hardscrabble lives of his characters, balancing the dreamier elements of the drama with a naturalism that keeps it rooted in reality." Mark Kermode, Observer (UK)
