1981 | DCP | USA | D: Lawrence Kasdan

Small-town lawyer Ned Racine (William Hurt) falls for femme fatale Matty Walker (Kathleen Turner) and agrees to help her murder her husband.

Set during a sweltering Florida summer, Body Heat launched Kathleen Turner’s career and is considered a masterpiece of neo-noir, adding muscular eroticism to more classic elements of the noir genre.

‘Still regarded as one of the steamiest movies of all time, Body Heat is a fantastic exponent of how noir has developed’ – Empire

Hot Summer Nights offers a curated selection of sizzling romances, road trips, suspense, stunning locations and a generous helping of nostalgia. View all screenings

Join us at 6:30pm to enjoy Hot Summer Nights in the NFSA courtyard, with a live performance from CD, who has swiftly carved her own lane with a cultivated twist on alternative r&b. The soulstress from Melbourne’s western suburbs has left many enamoured by her provocative mode. Armed with a honey syrup voice, and an evolved palette that touches influences of jazz, neo-soul and hip hop, CD uniquely evokes nostalgia while probing forward.

Our onsite cafe and bar will be open from 5.30pm with a range of beers, wines, weekly speciality cocktails, and non-alcoholic drinks available.
