“If anyone orders Merlot, I’m leaving. I am NOT drinking any f***ing Merlot!”
Talk about perfect timing! Plonk opened on the 20th anniversary of Sideways, the best mid-wine crisis film you'll ever see! Well... the 21st anniversary. But who's counting?
ABOUT THE FILM:
Two middle-aged men embark on a spiritual journey through Californian wine country. One is an unpublished novelist suffering from depression, and the other is only days away from walking down the aisle. Sideways won the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay back in 2004 and, since then, it has aged like a wine fine!
"Sideways is beautifully written, terrifically acted; it is paced and constructed with such understated mastery that it is a sort of miracle."
-Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
"Brilliant any way you look at it."
-Roger Ebert
"The performances here are uniformly terrific. This is wonderful, original stuff."
-Dan Jolin, Empire
"What a film!"
-Anton, Plonk
ABOUT THE NIGHT:
Sideways will be showing at Cotteridge's coolest new wine bar, Plonk. Obviously wine will be available throughout the screening but you can pre-order your first drink when you book your tickets.
