PRACTICAL MAGIC (M) Presented in 35mm

Practical Magic at Revival House Perth

Experience Griffin Dunne's enchanting 1998 romantic fantasy that weaves love, magic, and sisterhood into a spellbinding tale perfect for Halloween night. When the Owens sisters, Sally and Gillian, inherit both magical powers and a family curse that dooms any man who loves them to an early death, they must learn to embrace their gifts to break free from generations of heartbreak.

Sandra Bullock brings warmth and vulnerability to Sally, a reluctant witch who wants nothing more than a normal life for herself and her daughters, while Nicole Kidman sparkles as the free-spirited Gillian, whose wild romantic adventures lead both sisters into supernatural danger. Their chemistry as siblings creates the film's emotional foundation.

Dunne's direction perfectly balances whimsical magic with genuine emotion, creating a world where love potions and midnight margaritas feel equally natural. The film's exploration of female empowerment, family legacy, and the courage to love despite fear resonates through every beautifully crafted scene.

Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest bring delightful eccentricity to the spinster aunts who raised the girls, while Aidan Quinn provides romantic grounding as the investigator who sees past Sally's magical facade to her true heart. The stunning Victorian house and lush garden settings create an atmosphere of domestic enchantment.

Based on Alice Hoffman's beloved novel, this celebration of feminine power and sisterly bonds proves that the strongest magic is the love we share with family.
