Whangarei Film Society - Screenings for Thursday April 13th

Geoff from Central Whangarei

Good People

For Thursday, the 13th April at 6pm we are screening the Norwegian comedy, Everyone Hates Johan

Our 8pm screening will be the fascinating NZ doco, When the Cows come Home.

EVERYONE HATES JOHAN
Norway (English subtitles), 2022, Comedy, 93 mins, Rated M

Johan Grande's parents were patriotic Norwegians. During WW2, they risked their lives as they sabotaged the path of the invading Germans. In retrospect, the local community realised that the Grande family just really loved blowing stuff up.

In the present day, Johan is a small-town loner. He has a flair for horses and explosives. A combination that finds him in constant conflict with the community. Whilst he's comfortable not having a place in society, Johan's dream is to win over the love of his life, Solvor, who he accidentally blew up a bit when they were kids.

"Everybody Hates Johan is an entertaining slice of sometimes outrageous Scandinavian storytelling."

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
