TWIN TOWN (18) - Taith Pen-blwydd yn 25 oed | 25th Anniversary Tour

+ Q&A with Director Kevin Allen

(Same price as a regular cinema ticket!)

Twin Town is a cult classic, catapulting Welsh cinema into the mainstream back in the late 90s. It was the film that spot lit Rhys Ifans as a unique talent and it showed a side of Welsh culture rarely portrayed on screens big or small. Bafta nominated, the film is now 25 years old, so we’ll be celebrating that as part of a Twin Town anniversary tour this March, and director Kevin Allen will be here to make merry and answer some questions…

Bryn Cartwright (William Thomas) a wealthy roofing contractor, rugby club chairman and local kingpin rules the roost until Fatty Lewis (Huw Ceredig) a local handyman falls off a ladder on a Cartwright job. Fatty’s twin junkie grandsons, Julian (Llyr Ifans) and Jeremy (Rhys Ifans) who are not in fact twins –attempt to procure compensation from Cartwright, who refuses to pay up. The doped-up Julian and Jeremy then inflict anarchy not only on Cartwright and his family but on anyone they encounter whilst Terry (Dougray Scott) and Greyo (Dorian Thomas), two local policemen employ their own dubious peacekeeping methods as events spiral out of control.

22 reasons why Twin Town is the greatest Welsh cult film of all time

'If there's ever been a funnier, darker, Welsher or more quotable film than Twin Town, we definitely haven't seen it. From the opening scene as a two-tone 525 files over the camera, to the dying moments (spoiler alert) as a male voice choir sings Myfanwy on a flood-lit Mumbles pier, it's a film that has classic written all over it'.
