Words & Pictures ticket giveaway
We’ve teamed up with our chums at Umbrella Entertainment to give away ten double passes to our Australia-based readers to upcoming movie release, Words & Pictures. Read on…
Choose your weapon – the pen or the brush. Which side are you on? Words or pictures?
This is a question posed in must-see romantic comedy, Words & Pictures. The flick stars Golden Globe winner and Academy Award nominee, Clive Owen and Academy Award winner, Juliette Binoche. It’s directed by Fred Schepisi (The Devil’s Playground, The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith, Last Orders, The Eye of the Storm).
“This is a romance that is a little different, to say the least,” Schepisi told us. “In a film like Words & Pictures, it’s important that your main characters have chemistry and boy, these two really do. It’s a chemistry that crackles.”
Here’s the scoop… The setting is a New England prep school where Jack (Clive Owen), having shown great promise as an author and poet, is now an English teacher who lives and breathes his love of language. The only thing is… he’s lost his mojo and can’t write for shit these days. It’s one of many secrets he keeps.
Enter Dina (Juliette Binoche), the new art teacher; an acclaimed and passionate artist who is fighting the early stages of rheumatoid arthritis. Her physical abilities are increasingly impaired and the disease is literally taking the brush out of her hand. Dina’s reputation has preceded her, known at her last school as ‘The Icicle,’ she can be a little frosty, to say the least. But when the two meet, a spark ignites in Jack and he is relentless in his attempt to melt her façade. At every opportunity, he tries to engage her in his perpetual word game.
When Jack learns that Dina has told the students that words are ‘traps’ and ‘lies’, that art is the only bearer of truth, he is quick to the defense. The gauntlet for a school-wide competition of words versus pictures is thrown down, and students and faculty take sides.
