2010 | DCP | UK/USA | D: Mark Romanek

Adapted from Kazuo Ishiguro’s acclaimed novel, this haunting drama follows three friends whose sheltered boarding-school upbringing conceals a devastating truth. A star-studded ensemble cast with Carey Mulligan, Andrew Garfield and Keira Knightley, the film blends restrained science fiction with aching romantic tragedy, offering a quietly powerful meditation on fate and mortality.

‘A gorgeously restrained look at what it means to be human in the face of inevitable loss.’
— Kenneth Turan – Los Angeles Times

The screening will be followed by an interactive discussion about the film adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro’s novel Never Let Me Go in conversation with Rhiân Williams (guest host, ABC Radio Canberra Book Club)
