Gun of the Black Sun

Synopsis

In 1940 the Romanian Iron Guard places an ancient spell upon a golden Luger handgun - a gift to them from Himmler of the SS.

Year’s later in modern day Bucharest, Loredana Anescu finds the gun among her dying Grandfather’s possessions. Long awaiting its re-emergence is Damian Lupescu, owner of Archangel Electronics, who has dreamed of using the power bestowed on the gun to restore fascism in Europe through the medium of modern technology.

Knowing nothing of its dark and mystical past, Loredana unwittingly gives the Luger to Irishman Axel O'Rourke, a Nightclub owner who runs a cigarette smuggling operation from Bucharest to London. Lupescu learns that Loredana has found the Luger and goes after her to get it, she escapes with Axel into the country. Lupescu's henchmen catch up with them, taking Loredana and the Luger, leaving Axel for dead. On learning the legend of the Luger, Axel is urged to follow Lupescu to destroy it. Back in London Axel tracks down Lupescu to put and end to his fanatical plan.

Virginia Wool's Night & Day Virginia Woolf's Night & Day

Year:

Based on Virginia Woolf’s funniest novel, NIGHT AND DAY is an un-romantic comedy about a passionate astronomer Katharine Hilbery who does everything she can to avoid romantic love and marriage. Fun and contemporary in tone, this refreshing film showcases an ensemble of humourous performances against the ravishing backdrop of London in 1910, advances in science and technology and crumbling Edwardian patriarchy. Virginia’s story is as relevant to today as it ever was: women balancing romantic love with careers!
