Duncan Place Community Cinema

Our January community cinema film will be cult Scottish comedy classic Restless Natives. Originally released in 1985, the film will be celebrating its 40th anniversary. 

Saturday 25th January, 2pm.

Tickets £4.44 (see below) For ages 16+

Ronnie and Will are two free-wheeling lads living on a housing estate in Edinburgh. Broke and bored, the two decide to politely rob coachloads of tourists travelling through the Highlands for a bit of cash. Donning a wolf and a clown mask and armed with a puffer gun shooting out curry powder, the duo soon become a hit with the tourists and the public alike. As the two follow in the great tradition of Robin Hood and Rob Roy, their exploits make them a tourist attraction bigger than the Loch Ness Monster. But not everyone is a fan – the local police are closing in on them, assisted by a vacationing CIA agent. Featuring an infectious soundtrack by Big Country and stunning Highlands scenery, this much-loved film is a thoroughly enjoyable gem.

Limited tickets are available and cost £4 (plus 44p booking fee). They can be bought at Ticketlab

Included in the ticket price are hot/soft drinks and popcorn
