Whangarei Film Society - screenings for Thursday September 19th

Geoff from Central Whangarei

Good People

On Thursday the 19th September at 6pm, WFS will be screening the entertaining French Film, Marguerite's Theorem.

Our 8pm screening will be the powerful New Zealand film, The Convert, directed by Lee Tamahore.

MARGUERITE'S THEOREM
France (English subtitles), 2023, Drama/Comedy
Rated M (strong language)

Marguerite is a brilliant young mathematician who's devoted to finding a solution to Goldbach's Conjecture, one of the oldest problems in number theory. But the day she reveals her finished thesis, a competing student finds an error in her calculations.

Devastated, Marguerite quits school to erase all evidence of her studies and wades blindly into the real world. As someone devoted to number theory, Marguerite struggles with the nuances of human behaviour but her new roommate guides her through the basics of social interaction. And it's through her adjusted perspective that Marguerite sees her thesis in a totally new light.

But, without her scholarship funding, Marguerite needs to use her mathematical genius to find a new source of income to finish her thesis. Could Mah Jong be the answer?

"Ella Rumpf is remarkable as she draws us in to her quest. A film full of humour and one not to be missed." - IMDB

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱
