Win tickets to see Gus van Sant and Milk at BFI Southbank - guardian.co.uk
Gus van Sant's Milk, a biopic of the first openly gay politician to be elected to public office in the US, is already widely praised, with its central performance by Sean Penn attracting Oscar buzz after winning a Golden Globe nomination and critics awards on both coasts in the US. Van Sant will be live onstage at London's BFI Southbank on Friday 16 January, after a screening of Milk, to talk about the film and his career todate. We have three pairs of tickets to give away.
The adjective that perhaps best describes the Palme d'Or-winning film-maker is iconoclastic – after a clutch of such distinctive early films as Drugstore Cowboy (1989), My Private Idaho (1991) and Even Cowgirls Get the Blues (1993), he hit the bigtime with Good Will Hunting (1997), which won Oscars for star Robin Williams and co-writers Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. His shot-by-shot remake of Psycho (1998) had a mixed reception, but no one could dismiss his chutzpah for taking it on. And he certainly earned his auteur spurs on Elephant (2003), the drama based on the Columbine high school massacre that won him the top prize at Cannes.
