The Palace Movie Club and Hopscotch Films are proud to invite you to be among the first to see the whimsical and moving romantic drama TAKE THIS WALTZ (MA15+).

We hope you can join us at advance previews at 6.30pm Thursday 7th June at Palace Verona and Norton Street Cinemas. Each person in attendance will also receive an opening weekend pass to see the heart-warming WHERE DO WE GO NOW? (M) releasing Thursday 28th June.

In TAKE THIS WALTZ, when Margot (Michelle Williams), 28, meets Daniel (Luke Kirby), their chemistry is intense and immediate. But Margot suppresses her sudden attraction; she is happily married to Lou (Seth Rogen), a cookbook writer. When Margot learns that Daniel lives across the street from them, the certainty about her domestic life shatters. She and Daniel steal moments throughout the steaming Toronto summer, their eroticism heightened by their restraint.

Swelteringly hot, bright and colorful like a bowl of fruit, TAKE THIS WALTZ leads us, laughing, through the familiar, but uncharted question of what long‐term relationships do to love, sex, and our images of ourselves. It's a funny, bittersweet tale of love. Director Sarah Polley (Away From Her) has created a sensual film, full of moments oscillating between joy and comedy and heartbreak.

"Delicate, beautiful and powerful." Hitfix

"An incredibly powerful piece of filmmaking due to Polley’s desire to tell this story in an unconventional and honest way. It’s refreshing to see a film about romance that truly feels real." ComingSoon.net

WHERE DO WE GO NOW? (M): Written and directed by Nadine Labaki, this heart-warming modern fable follows Labaki's impressive directorial debut Caramel. Set in a small, isolated Lebanese village, a group of Muslim and Christian women band together to ingeniously devise a plan to distract the local menfolk in an attempt to defuse mounting inter-religious tensions. Most days, the women gather at the cafe of feisty Christian widow Amal (Labaki) to work on joint projects and share gossip and song. These resourceful women, of all ages, shapes and sizes, united by their unwavering friendship, try almost every means at their disposal. As a series of chaotic incidents tests the women's ingenuity, can they manage, with their usual sass, to successfully stave off the fall-out from the distant war? Extraordinarily inventive and often comical, Where Do We Go Now? received a five minute standing ovation at its Cannes premiere, and won the Audience Award at the 2011 Toronto Film Festival.
