An aspiring novelist finds inspiration gurgling down the drain when his unconventional muse, a tropical fish, goes missing in this darkly absurd romp through the mean-ish streets of Auckland’s inner suburbs. Leroy (Emilio Mancilla) is battling to get his debut novel completed, struggling through a bout of writer’s block while house sitting for a friend. He finds his creative breakthrough in the eyes of the iridescent fish, Kirby, that has been left in his care, who seems to have unlocked something in Leroy’s mind. Before he can take full advantage of his maritime muse, the writer wakes to find Kirby missing, presumably fish-napped. This kicks off a comic odyssey through the underbelly of Auckland’s rare fish black market and the cruel vagaries of the local literary scene. Joined in his quest by Charlie (Romy Hooper), an unstable nautical private eye, Leroy is pushed well out of his comfort zone as he confronts a series of kooks and misfits in search of his psychic fish. Part crime caper, part screwball comedy, Notes from a Fish delights in making its hapless characters run the gauntlet of truly unfortunate events. Directors Tom Levesque and Romy Hooper each make distinct contributions – Levesque brings the paranoid obsession of his earlier feature Shut Eye, while Hooper provides deft comic chops in front of and behind the camera. — Adrian Hatwell COME EARLY!

Worse yet, he is forced to bunk up with talkative Del Griffith (John Candy), whom he finds extremely annoying. Together they must overcome the insanity of holiday travel to reach their intended destination.

Rest in Peace Lee Tamahori. The Hollywood was blessed to have Lee as a friend. Two of our favourite events were when Lee presented THE EDGE and ONCE WERE WARRIORS to rapt audiences. He had an engagingly honest way with words and it was insightful listening to him tell tales (a few off record) about his early days making NFU shorts, to his boom op days and to eventually delivering his knockout debut feature. He was a gifted natural born filmmaker who understood how all the pieces of filmmaking fit together. We have chosen to play one of our favourites THE EDGE to remember Lee, a superbly entertaining & layered adventure movie. It’s our favourite of his international feature films, a perfect showcase of Lee flexing his directing chops at his peak. And being a celluloid lover of course we’re presenting it on 35mm - the way Lee would have wanted. Anthony Hopkins and Alec Baldwin and Bart the Bear, all balancing on the edge of existence. “Jaws with Paws” it was billed as, but there is so much more going on in David Mamet’s (Glengarry Glen Ross) excellent script. Featuring a perfect score by the legendary Jerry Goldsmith. Primal fears, territory, fear, shame, love, jealousy, male rivalry, the isolationism of extreme wealth, and, most conspicuously, the survival of the fittest. Sir Anthony Hopkins and Alec Baldwin Star alongside Elle Mcpherson and Bart The Bear (the wonderful Kodiak Bear actor who stalks them). Tamahori a master at capturing beauty and brutality in one frame delivers a movie that stands along side Warriors. Harere rā to one of NZ's best filmmakers, a taonga and a friend. 35mm Print.
