Film Fix: Clint tackles injustice in Gran Torino
It’s a film that covers a lot of territory – the changing face of the U.S.A through migration, isolation, aging and racism. It stars Clint Eastwood in his first role since his multi-award winning, Million Dollar Baby (2004) and continues to cement him as the North American director who searches the deepest into questions of morality, responsibility and justice. Kylie Boltin takes a look.
Winner of the 2008 Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival (the first French film to win in 21 years),The Class is nominated for the Academy Award — Best Foreign language film, 2009. Kylie Boltin goes back to school for a day.
