Welcome
If you’re feeling down that summer’s over
and it’s back to school and everyday
routines, we can put a smile back on your
face with the wealth of films we have
planned for the coming weeks.
We have a packed Abbeygate Arts
programme including ROH Live: Romeo And
Juliet, NT Encore: Coriolanus, Met Live: Il
Trovatore (Verdi), ROH Live: Le Nozze Di
Figaro and Bolshoi: Giselle.
Woody Allen’s Irrational Man is about a
tormented philosophy professor (played by
Joaquin Phoenix) who finds the will to live
when he commits an existential act.
Also screening is Straight Outta Compton,
a biographical drama about legendary rap
group NWA in the mid-1980s, and how
through their music they exposed life in the
’hood. Their voices ignited a social revolution
that is still reverberating today.
Legend is Brian Helgeland’s new crime
thriller about the rise and fall of the Kray
twins, and Tom Hardy plays the identical
twin gangsters Ronald and Reginald Kray
as they terrorise London during the ’50s
and ’60s.
Michael Fassbender takes the title role in a
new film directed by Justin Kurzel of William
Shakespeare’s Macbeth.
The biographical disaster thriller/adventure
film Everest 3D is inspired by the incredible
events surrounding an attempt to reach the
summit of the world's highest mountain, and
the new comedy adventure film A Walk In
The Woods, starring Robert Redford and
Nick Nolte, is based on the bestselling book
by travel writer Bill Bryson.
Finally, be sure to check out the films
showing as part of the Cambridge Film
Festival On Tour programme. Restored
classics, intriguing documentaries and sneak
previews of big films coming out soon are all
part of it.

45 Years (15)
Ricki And The Flash (12A)
Director: Andrew Haigh. Starring: Charlotte Rampling,
Tom Courtenay, Geraldine James. UK 2015. 95 mins.
Director: Jonathan Demme. Starring: Meryl Streep,
Kevin Kline, Mamie Gummer. USA 2015. 101 mins.
Charlotte Rampling and Tom Courtenay star in this powerful relationship drama as Kate
and Geoff Mercer, a couple preparing to celebrate their 45th wedding anniversary.
Geoff is unsettled by the news that the body of Katya, a long-lost sweetheart, has
been discovered frozen in a Swiss glacier. Initially sympathetic, Kate is first disturbed
and then angered by Geoff’s revelation that he is Katya’s next-of-kin. Their quietly
affectionate, deep-rooted marriage then has to endure unfamiliar doubts and
misgivings. The attractively washed-out Norfolk setting somehow reflects the sense
of empty betrayal Kate must weigh against her husband’s admirable qualities, and
the sensitive yet forceful performances of the two leads are hugely rewarding.
Director Jonathan Demme created one of rock’s greatest ever performance movies
with Talking Heads’ Stop Making Sense. He now turns to fiction with the story of fading
guitar heroine Ricki Randazzo (a highly convincing Streep), who gave up everything
to live her dream of rock stardom. Ricki breaks off from her perpetual touring to try to
soothe her grown-up daughter Julie (played by her real-life daughter Gummer), whose
engagement has just abruptly ended. Both Julie and Ricki’s harassed ex-hubby Pete
(Kline) have abandonment issues that Ricki must address. On top of all this, a backing
band member (Rick Springfield) is in love with Ricki. Written by maverick screenwriter
Diablo Cody (Juno) and brought together with typical aplomb by Demme, this is a
bittersweet, very funny family reunification saga, with a truly dynamite soundtrack.
Contains moderate bad language, sex references and drug references

Irrational Man (12A)
Legend (18)
Director: Woody Allen. Starring: Joaquin Phoenix,
Emma Stone, Parker Posey. USA 2015. 95 mins.
Steeped in his familiar, wryly voiced stew of existential doubts, Irrational Man is Woody Allen’s
highly enjoyable latest. Joaquin Phoenix plays troubled and famously hellraising philosophy
professor Abe Lucas. Arriving at an uptight campus, he first attracts the attentions of bored
science professor Rita (Posey), and later of student Jill (Stone, Magic In The Moonlight). Abe
used to be a firebrand activist and aid worker, but has become increasingly cynical. During
one of Abe and Jill’s gloomy exchanges in a diner, Abe overhears a conversation that triggers
a damascene conversion into a Panglossian spirit who discovers a new purpose in life. He
is inspired to concoct a crime that he feels will make the world a fairer place. Allen then has
fun with the narrative twists, and Phoenix exercises his wonderfully low-key comic muscle.
Contains infrequent strong language and moderate sex references.

www.abbeygatecinema.co.uk
Director: Brian Helgeland. Starring: Tom Hardy,
Emily Browning, Chazz Palminteri. UK 2015. 131mins.
With a demonstrably bigger budget than
1990s biopic The Krays, Oscar-winning
screenwriter Brian Helgeland (L.A.
Confidential, Mystic River) directs this rather
different and fascinating take on twin brothers
Ronnie and Reggie, who ruled
London’s gangland in the late
1950s and ’60s. Intriguingly,
Tom Hardy (Mad Max: Fury
Road) plays both of them.
Helgeland concentrates on
Reggie’s efforts to curb his
brother’s psychopathic
tendencies as the pair try
to stay out of reach of the
long and often corrupt
arm of the law. Paying
them attention is Angelo
Bruno (Palminteri, The
Usual Suspects), who is
keen to recruit the pair as the
UK branch of the Mafia. The
brothers are wary of this idea,
for very different reasons. Their
gripping story unfolds in a finely
nuanced period crime drama
with a hefty side order of carnage.

A Walk In
The Woods (15) (Film TBC)
Director: Baltasar Kormákur. Starring: Jake Gyllenhaal,
Keira Knightley. UK/USA/Iceland 2015. 121 mins.
Following on from his riveting tale of survival at sea, The Deep, Icelandic director Baltasar
Kormákur turns his attention to the highest mountain on Earth. This gripping drama is based
on a disastrous 1996 expedition when eight climbers lost their lives attempting an ascent
on Everest. Two teams led by Scott Fischer (Gyllenhaal) and Rob Hall (Jason Clarke,
Lawless) battle vicious snowstorms and avalanches to reach the summit of the world’s most
unforgiving mountain. Both groups get trapped in the harshest of conditions, and a subsequent
rescue party becomes mired in a deadly struggle to bring them back. With its spectacular
cinematography, Kormákur’s edge-of-the-seat thriller maximises the use of Nepal’s mountain
vistas. The film also stars Josh Brolin, Sam Worthington, Keira Knightley and Emily Watson.
Contains moderate threat, injury detail and upsetting scenes.

The Martian (Cert TBC)
Macbeth (Cert TBC)
Director: Ridley Scott. Starring: Matt Damon, Jessica Chastain. USA 2015. TBC mins.
Director: Justin Kurzel. Starring: Michael Fassbender,
Marion Cotillard. UK/France/USA. TBC mins.
Sci-fi genius Ridley Scott (Alien, Blade Runner, Prometheus) takes us to Mars for a
gripping, action-packed tale of disaster and survival. Based on the bestselling novel by
Andy Weir, the story follows the Ares 3 mission, NASA’s third crewed trip to the Red
Planet. When a devastating Martian storm forces an early evacuation, astronaut Mark
Watney (Damon) is presumed dead – but in fact he’s alive, injured, stranded and alone. As
supplies dwindle, he has only his scientific ingenuity and optimistic spirit to keep him alive.
When his seemingly hopeless plight is discovered, his fellow astronauts, led by mission
commander Melissa Lewis (Chastain), must work out whether and how they might get
him home, while the world watches with bated breath. A visually stunning adventure.

www.abbeygatecinema.co.uk
This extraordinary retelling of William Shakespeare’s story of a king driven to murder and
madness preserves the dark poetry of the Bard’s play, but presents it with remarkable
style and vision. Macbeth, played by Michael Fassbender, is a man of war: we see him
at the centre of the carnage in climactic, eye-popping battle scenes. While in a strangely
calm trance, he meets a troupe of witches who foretell his future. Consumed by ambition,
he is intrigued when the prophecy starts to come true. But it is his wife, Lady Macbeth
(Oscar winner Cotillard), who takes the initiative and hatches a plot to kill beloved King
Duncan and seize his crown by force. The cast give superb performances, delivering
dialogue with spellbinding, understated intensity. Director Kurzel infuses the 12th century
with dread, paranoia and violence, bringing Shakespeare’s words chillingly to life.

Director: Marco Ferreri.
Starring: Marcello Mastroianni,
Philippe Noiret. France/Italy 1973.
131 mins. French with English subtitles.
Director: Crystal Moselle.
USA 2015. 90 mins.
The notoriously twisted jet-black comedy gets
a glorious 2K restoration. Four middle-aged
men – an airline pilot, a TV producer, a judge
and a chef – retreat to a luxury villa. Bored
and jaded with life to the point of being
suicidal, they resolve to eat themselves to
death, and summon three prostitutes to join
them. What follows is a spectacular, gross-out
satire on greed, corruption and male vanity.

DOCUMENTARY
This extraordinary documentary tells the
story of six brothers virtually imprisoned
by their parents in a run-down Manhattan
apartment. The Angulo brothers’ main source
of information about the outside world is the
movies that their strict Peruvian father brings
home. As a coping mechanism, the boys
recreate scenes from their favourites, wearing
makeshift costumes – donning charity shop
suits to play characters from Reservoir Dogs,
or making Batman masks out of cereal boxes.
Moselle met them shortly after they’d first
been allowed out, and they re-enacted their
favourite films for her sympathetic camera.
The paranoid parents thought they were
protecting their children from a hostile world,
but the Wolfpack, as they named themselves,
now come across as shyly charming, if
understandably estranged from reality – in
the way, of course, that movies invariably are.

Cartel Land (15)
Director: Matthew Heineman. Mexico/USA
2015. 100 mins. English, and Spanish with
English subtitles.
Opening in a crystal meth lab, this chilling
documentary sets its tone with the matter-offact explanation given by the man mixing the
drugs: “What are you going to do? We come
from poverty. We will do this as long as God
allows.” Writer, director and cameraman
Matthew Heineman takes us on a shocking,
action-packed voyage into the murky
world of the drug trade as seen through the
efforts of two men leading the close-range
fight against it: Tim Foley heads a small
paramilitary group trying to seal the Arizona
border off from Mexico’s brutal and wellorganised traffickers; Jose Mireles is a doctor
doggedly marshalling his fellow citizens
against the Knights Templar cartel in his small
Mexican township. The moral determination
of both men shines through.

Horse Money (15)
Director: Pedro Costa. Starring: Tito Furtado,
Antonio Santos, Ventura. Portugal 2014.
103 mins. Portuguese with English subtitles.
Portuguese auteur Pedro Costa's beguiling
film continues his exploration of the Lisbon
slums and the characters that fill them. Our
entry point is Ventura, an ageing local who
wanders the halls of a dilapidated, prison-like
hospital, meeting strangers, outsiders and
ghosts. But we also venture out into the city in
sequences that echo the menace and weird
logic of nightmares. Striking imagery, homegrown music and an almost painfully intense
central performance paint a haunting picture
of a uniquely strange world.

Live satellite premiere plus panel discussion
There will be a live event with an exclusive screening of the film, followed by a satellite Q&A
hosted by Mariella Frostrup, on Wednesday 9 September. The panel will feature legendary
fashion designer and long-standing Greenpeace supporter Vivienne Westwood, director Jerry
Rothwell, Robert Hunter’s daughter Emily Hunter, and other special guests to be announced.
Director: Jerry Rothwell. Canada/UK 2015. 110 mins.
In 1971 a brave group of young activists set sail from Vancouver in an old fishing boat. Their
mission: to stop Nixon's atomic bomb tests on Amchitka, a tiny island off the west coast of
Alaska. It was from these humble but courageous beginnings that the global organisation
we now know as Greenpeace was born. Chronicling the fascinating untold story behind the
modern environmental movement, this gripping new film tells the story of eco-hero Robert
Hunter and how he, alongside a group of like-minded and idealistic young friends in the ’70s,
would be instrumental in altering the way we now look at the world and our place within it.

Taking its title from NWA’s seminal 1988
debut album, this biographical drama charts
the legendary rap group’s meteoric rise
and acrimonious fall. Five young men from
Compton, including Eazy-E (Mitchell), Ice
Cube (Jackson) and Dr Dre (Hawkins), gave
angry voice to a voiceless part of society,
igniting a musical revolution as they shot to
global hip-hop domination. The film delves
