1983 | 4K DCP | USA | D: Francis Ford Coppola 

 
Francis Ford Coppola’s coming-of-age classic returns in its extended “Complete Novel” version, restoring material from S. E. Hinton’s beloved novel. In 1960s Oklahoma, rival teenage gangs navigate class division, loyalty and loss. Featuring early performances from Tom Cruise and Patrick Swayze, the film remains a touchstone of youth cinema — raw, romantic and enduringly resonant. 

 
‘Coppola’s most heartfelt and sincere film — a moving portrait of adolescent vulnerability.’ 
 Roger Ebert  Chicago Sun-Times 

The screening will be followed by an interactive discussion about the film adaptation of S.E. Hinton’s novel The Outsiders, in conversation with Alice Matthews (ABC Radio Canberra) and Rhiân Williams (guest host, ABC Radio Canberra Book Club)
