Point Break

Kathryn Bigelow / US, 1991 / 122 min.

They may be hardened criminals, the gang that calls itself the Ex-Presidents, but they’re also great sports. With a bank robbery done and dusted, Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves like to take their surfboards to the Californian ocean to catch a killer wave. A major action and spectacle film by Kathryn Bigelow.

poster Point Break (Kathryn Bigelow, US 1991)
Kathryn Bigelow's ode to the surf and heist film has action written all over it. Spectacular car chases, skydiving and monster waves about to crash down on surfers: Bigelow (The Hurt Locker, Zero Dark Thirty) spotlights the life and times of the thrill-seeker bank robbers with such verve and vigour that it'll make your every little cinephile hair stand on end.

Unfortunately, due to the strong wind (5 Bft, with gusts up to 7 Bft), the Sunsets open-air screening of Point Break cannot take place tonight for safety reasons.

Alternatively, we will show Point Break at 21:15 in Cinema 1. Because we have less capacity there than outside, already purchased Sunsets tickets are not valid. Everyone with a ticket will have their entrance fee refunded and all Cineville reservations will be cancelled. For the screening in Cinema 1, you can buy a new ticket at the same reduced rate of € 7,50.

In principle, the upcoming Sunsets open-air screenings will take place and tickets are still available.
