Klara and the Sun Movie Night at Eclipse Cinema Collingwood

Join me for a Friday night at the movies to see Klara and the Sun, Taika Waititi's film adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro's novel, with Jenna Ortega as Klara, an Artificial Friend looking for the right home, alongside Amy Adams. It opens in Australian cinemas on 22 October, so we'll be catching it in its first couple of days.

We'll meet at the Eclipse Cinema ticket booth in Collingwood at 6:40pm, say hello, then head in together for the 7:00pm session. Once the film's over, anyone keen can grab a bite nearby.

A Meetup RSVP does not include a movie ticket – please book your own directly with the cinema.

Who this is for

Anyone who enjoys a thoughtful sci-fi drama or a relaxed night at the movies
Fans of Ishiguro's book or Taika Waititi's films – no need to have read the novel
Solo attendees are very welcome

Tickets / cost

Book and pay for your ticket directly with Eclipse Cinema using the link above
My ticket was $13 plus a $1.50 booking fee – prices may differ depending on ticket type
The session has open seating, so there are no seat numbers to coordinate
It's worth booking ahead in case the session fills up

Bring

Your booking confirmation (on your phone is fine)
A light layer – cinemas can get chilly
A bit of money if you'd like to join dinner afterwards

Expect

Vibe: Relaxed, friendly Friday movie night
Group style: We'll sit together where we can, then chat about the film afterwards
Pace: Easygoing – dinner is completely optional

Important notes

This is a casual social meetup so we can see the film together – it isn't run by, affiliated with, or endorsed by Eclipse Cinema.
Please book your own ticket directly with the cinema; an RSVP here doesn't include entry.
Seating is open, so we can't guarantee everyone sits together – arriving by 6:45pm gives us the best chance.
Dinner afterwards is optional, and everyone pays their own way.
If your plans change, please update your RSVP so numbers stay clear.
