Concrete Playground Presents: Fury

Overview

This article is sponsored by our partners, Ben & Jerry's Openair Cinemas.

After taking on the entire Nazi high command in Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds, Brad Pitt's second foray into the WWII genre feels significantly closer to reality. Directed by David Ayre, Fury follows the trials of a five-man American tank crew, played by Pitt, Logan Lerman, Shia LaBeouf, Michael Pena and Jon Bernthal, as they push deep into German territory during the closing months of the war. Brutal and unflinching, the film's been compared in many reviews, including our own, to Steven Spielberg's Academy Award-winning Saving Private Ryan.

On Saturday December 6, Concrete Playground will present a special screening of Fury at Ben & Jerry's Openair Cinema. Gates open at 6pm for a 7.30pm live performance by Melbourne-born singer-songwriter JR Reyne, who'll be cranking out an openair live set until sundown. Tickets are selling fast, so grab them while you still can.

Ben & Jerry's Openair Cinema runs from November 30 to December 21 at South Beach Reserve, next to the St Kilda Sea Baths. For the full program see their website.
