Cheltenham International Film Festival
Lock Stock And Two Smoking Barrels
This screening forms part of Cheltenham International Film Festival, which marks its 5th anniversary in 2023. The festival will screen new films from around the world, plus film classics and is adding television, and new live events to its programme, along with guest celebrities.
On 20 September, Deya Brewery, Gloucester Road, Cheltenham, is the venue for Guy Richie’s classic gangster film, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels to mark 25 years since its premiere. This is the film that propelled Guy Ritchie to superstar status as a film director.
Guy Richie’s groundbreaking Brit thriller is back on the big screen
Director Guy Ritchie’s much imitated, never bettered feature film debut that broke the mould of British crime capers. We have always loved the cheeky villain who has a criminal plan that almost works. None were like Lock Stock. Fast paced, both in terms of action and dialogue, a script that has numerous twists and turns and a unique visual style. No wonder it remains a classic. Finally you have an eclectic cast that includes real life criminals alongside Sting, Jason Statham and footballer turned actor Vinnie Jones!
As fresh and exciting today as when it was first released 25 years ago. “It’s Been Emotional”!
(Doors open at 7pm)
“It roars and ignites and hits the ground running”
