THE ISLAND OF DR. MOREAU (Dir: John Frankenheimer; U.S., Australia, 100 mins) UNRATED DIRECTOR’S CUT In honour of the late Val Kilmer, we are proud to present a rare big-screen showing of one of the most insanely inspired films ever to come out of Hollywood – the 1996 production of H.G. Wells’ sci-fi/horror classic, THE ISLAND OF DR. MOREAU. Shot in the rainforests of northern Queensland, the film is infamous for its troubled shoot, on-set acrimony and wildly out-of-control creativity, the likes of which we may never see again. Featuring Marlon Brando as the unhinged Moreau, David Thewlis in one of the great “What the hell is going on?!” performances and Kilmer as…well, Kilmer, THE ISLAND OF DR. MOREAU is a grand film folly of the highest order, and a must-see cinema experience.
