After the concerning incidents during our Alfred Hitchcock and Al Pacino seasons, we're sad to announce yet another unfortunate occurrence at The Garden Cinema - this time involving low-life detectives, seductive femme fatales, and other iconic film noir characters.
Join us on Saturday 6 September to find out what happened in the shady alleyways and dark corners of the Atrium Bar, by hunting for clues, piecing together hints, and interviewing our suspects & witnesses - who may or may not be trustworthy.. Once you've cracked the case, you'll be invited to take your seat in the screen for our cinematic reveal, followed by a screening of the sizzling ‘80s classic neo-noir, Body Heat.
As the film’s Floridian heatwave is sure to get you sweating, tickets include a complimentary (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) and suitably smoky daiquiri cocktail to quench your thirst.
Event timings:
19:00 Murder mystery and cocktails
20:30 Reveal & screening of Body Heat
22:45 Expected finish
Tickets include access to the murder mystery, a complimentary cocktail, and an unallocated seat for the film screening. They're available to members only, but there is no limit on the amount you're able to purchase, meaning you can bring multiple friends along - the more brains, the better! Every member can purchase a max. of 2 tickets at the members' rate (£25), any additional tickets will need to be purchased at the adults' rate (£27).
If you have any access needs or require a specific seat in the screen, please email membership@thegardencinema.co.uk so we can try to accommodate.
About the film:
William Hurt and Kathleen Turner strike sparks in this taut, South Florida-set tale of lust, greed, and murder that echoes 1940s film noir but is charged with a steamy passion that could only flare in the '80s. When libidinous but none-too-bright attorney Ned Racine (Hurt) begins an affair with Matty Walker (Turner), the beautiful wife of an unscrupulous tycoon, their desire to be together leads to thoughts of murder.
