The Translators / Les Traducteurs 2019
M - Mature themes, violence, coarse language and sexual references NOTE: Drug use & offensive language. 105 mins, France French with English subtitles The eagerly awaited final book of a best-selling Dragon Tattoo-esque French trilogy is about to be globally released, and nine international language experts have been hired to translate it into their native tongues (English, Danish, Mandarin, Spanish, Russian, Italian, Portuguese, Greek and German). With the stakes so high, the supercilious publisher (Lambert Wilson) has them on lock-down, confined together in a bunker – without any contact to the outside world – until the task is completed. |
Tremendous fun. An original, suspenseful iso thriller and a compelling piece of cinema. Just when you think you know what’s happened the story takes off in a different direction." John McDonald - AUSTRALIAN FINANCIAL REVIEW

Pipi have been a Havelock North based business affiliated with Association Française de Hawke's Bay for several years now.
Their distinctive pink restaurant is situated on Joll Road and is a great place for a meal most of the day Tuesday to Sunday. They mainly specialise in pizzas but have other seasonal flavoursome food as well. Pipi is more than just a pizzeria but a relaxed place to socialise with those close to you. The Pipi Truck brings their pizza to the masses around Hawke's Bay particularly during the weekend. Pipi also have accommodation and release cook books. Their staff are friendly and helpful. Pipi are an inspirational business and all about an easier lifestyle with their movement: Project Do Less. |
