Spike Giveaway: Free double-passes to The City of Your Final Destination

JA October 14

We have five double-passes to giveaway to The City of Your Final Destination – the newest release from James Ivory, based on the novel by Peter Cameron and starring Anthony Hopkins, Laura Linney and Charlotte Gainsbourg, in cinemas October 14.

28-year-old Kansas University doctoral student Omar Razaghi has been awarded a grant to write the biography of Latin American writer Jules Gund. When Gund’s estate unexpectedly denies Omar authorisation, Omar is urged by his girlfriend to travel to Uruguay and petition the executor to change their minds.

The Gund ‘family’, living together on the author’s isolated and decaying estate, includes Gund’s widow, his mistress, her young daughter, Gund’s brother and his partner. Omar’s unannounced arrival upsets their fragile co-existence and causes all to question their own circumstances, which in turn leads Omar himself to question to what degree, if any; he has been the author of his own existence up until now.

To win, simply email your name and address to jjmau@unimelb.edu.au with ‘Spike Giveaway’ as the subject by 5pm Monday (Oct 18). The double-passes are valid at any of the following cinemas, for any session, excluding Saturdays after 5pm, public holidays and discount days.



With thanks to the good folk at Potential Films.
