BORDERLINES FILM FESTIVAL
Director: Peter Farrelly
Starring: Mahershala Ali, Viggo Mortensen, Linda Cardellini
US, 2018
Green Book brings together Mahershala Ali (Oscar winner, Moonlight) and Viggo Mortensen in an upbeat true story of an unlikely friendship.
In 1962, Italian-American Tony Lip is hired as chauffeur and bodyguard to African-American pianist, Dr Don Shirley on a concert tour through the Deep South. Despite Tony’s own problematic racial views, the pair embark on a road trip with the potential to change both of their lives.
There is smart comedy as you’d expect from the co-director of Dumb and Dumber and There’s Something About Mary but, eminently watchable though it is, the film does not sugar coat the racial tensions of the ‘60s and serves as a reminder of the persistent bigotry of our own times.
Cert: 15
Running time: 2hrs 10mins
