Join us for a special event screening of the 1983 classic film The Big Chill, including a concert performance of the outstanding soundtrack by The Byron Theatre Orchestra.
The Big Chill is about a circle of old college friends reuniting at the funeral of one of their own, who has committed suicide. They spend the weekend together revisiting their past closeness. There is grief. There is sex. There are one-liners. But what The Big Chill is really about is how the idealism of our youth turns into materialism as we age. We want to hang on to our ideals, but it's tough to do so in this cold, hard world.It's an all time hollywood classic and worth another watch on the big screen.
The Big Chill soundtrack album became a huge hit and instant classic on it's release, it features classic soul from Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin, The Temptations, The Miracles, Procol Harum, and more.
Join The Byron Theatre Orchestra - Cass Eager, Harry Nichols, Dan Brown, Mike Mills and Dave Sanders - as they groove their way through the classic songs from this legendary film, followed by a screening of the film on the biggest screen in Byron Bay.
