THE Picturehouse Culture Shock selection for Monday night at City Screen, York, is Jason Eisener’s loving new tribute to the Seventies’ grindhouse movie era, Hobo With A Shotgun (18).

Rutger Hauer – welcome back tough guy – plays the hobo of the title, a man from the wrong side of the tracks whose town is in turmoil because of a sick and twisted drug baron. It’s time to reach for that gun, stop begging and demand change from 8.30pm onwards.

City Screen associate manager Cath Sharp has picked first-time director Djo Tunda wa Munga’s Congolese crime drama Viva Riva! (15) as the Staff Choice Movie for Tuesday at 6pm.

Played out on the unforgiving streets of Kinshasha, the plot focuses on a bloody gang war that erupts when a fuel shortage sees the price of petrol sky-rocket. Seeking an opportunity to make a profit out of a social crisis, Riva (newcomer Patsha Bay) attempts to intercept a delivery of oil barrels with his witless sidekick. Surprise, surprise, they are not the only ones to have come up with that idea.

Explaining her Congolese choice, Cath says: “The country’s troubled history has obstructed home-grown film production but Munga has made a world-class movie, a gangster fairytale set against a real-life socio-political backdrop, enhanced by a fine soundtrack of modern and classical local music.”
