“I’ll have what she’s having.”

Harry and Sally hated each other at first sight. Yet, as chance would have it, they keep bumping into each other and become best friends. Whilst the pair are convinced that their relationship is entirely platonic, an attraction begins to develop between them. Will they be able to resist it? Driven by Nora Ephron’s finely crafted screenplay and the chemistry between Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan, this cult film redefined the romantic comedy.

Tribute to Rob Reiner

Rob Reiner died tragically last December, leaving behind a body of work that ranks amongst the most memorable in American comedy. He was one of the few filmmakers who knew how to make us laugh and move us across such a wide range of genres.

It seemed only natural for the VIFFF to pay tribute to his genius, which had such a profound impact on our love of cinema. To celebrate his talent, we have selected three of his most iconic comedies.
