HOLIDAY SPECIAL
Director: Pete Docter.
Voices: Amy Poehler, Bill Hader,
Diane Lane. USA 2015. 102 mins.
Disney Pixar’s entrancing animated fable
follows eleven-year-old Riley (Kaitlyn
Dias), who is reluctantly uprooted from rural
Minnesota to San Francisco. We see her
experiences mostly through the emotions
inside her head. Five of them – Joy
(Poehler), Fear (Hader), Anger, Disgust and
Sadness – compete over how best to help
her deal with the challenges of a new life.
This magical and heartfelt film will intrigue
and entertain audiences of all ages.

Christian Friedel, Katharina Schüttler,
Burghard Klaußner. Germany 2015.
114 mins. German with English subtitles.
Opening as a tense action thriller,
Hirschbiegel’s second foray into Nazi
history after Downfall follows Georg Elser’s
(Friedel, The White Ribbon) unsuccessful
attempt to assassinate Hitler with a bomb that
exploded 13 minutes too late. The film then
flashes backwards and forwards between
Elser’s gradual path to radicalisation and the
increasingly desperate efforts of his captors to
uncover a non-existent political conspiracy.
HOLIDAY SPECIAL
Director: Peyton Reed. Starring: Paul Rudd,
Michael Douglas, Evangeline Lilly. USA 2015. 117 mins.
A founding member of Marvel Comics’ super-successful Avengers finally bounds onto the big
screen, as thieving conman Scott Lang (Rudd, Anchorman: The Legend Of Ron Burgundy)
dons the technologically amazing suit that enables him to shrink in size but surge in strength.
He comes to the aid of his mentor Dr Hank Pym (Douglas) to combat a real and present danger
to the entire world, which requires Lang to perpetrate a major heist. Along for the spectacular
ride are legendary Marvel characters Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) and Howard Stark (John
Slattery), with Evangeline Lilly (The Hobbit’s Tauriel) as Hope Van Dyne, Pym’s daughter and
the key to the heist’s success.

Director: David Stoten. Voices: Eddie Redmayne, John Hurt, Olivia Colman. UK 2015. 63 mins.
Toot toot! It’s all aboard for the latest big-screen adventure starring the nation’s favourite little
blue engine and his anthropomorphised steel-wheeled chums. Thomas unexpectedly uncovers
a secret underground pirate ship, and embarks on a thrilling hunt for lost treasure across the
island of Sodor. Released in Thomas’s 70th anniversary year, this action-packed animation
features a star-studded voice cast including John Hurt and Eddie Redmayne. Required viewing
for any self-respecting under-five.

Veteran filmmaker Wim Wenders excels at creating documentary portraits of fellow artists,
as in his Buena Vista Social Club and Pina, the latter of which in particular also exemplifies
his visual virtuosity and ambition. That virtuosity is on display again in this powerful and at
times even awe-inspiring homage to the Brazilian photographer Sebastiaõ Salgado, whose
instantly recognisable black-and-white photographs have documented scenes of great suffering
as well as great beauty around the globe. In collaboration with Salgado’s son, Wenders
carefully chronicles all of Salgado’s major projects, from his shocking images of war and
genocide to those celebrating the grandeur of the natural world. But the film is also much more
than a photographic catalogue, probing the personal motivations behind Salgado’s lifelong,
worldwide vocation.
Contains images of real dead bodies.

Love & Mercy (12A)
Minions (U)
HOLIDAY SPECIAL
Director: Bill Pohlad. Starring: John Cusack, Paul Dano,
Paul Giamatti, Elizabeth Banks. USA 2014. 121 mins.
Long stereotyped as purveyors of mindless pop, The Beach Boys are now hailed as one of
the most artistically significant bands of all time. Love & Mercy centres on the fall and rise of
visionary songwriter Brian Wilson, juxtaposing his slide into mental illness during the 1960s
with his recovery and redemption in the 1980s. Co-written by Oren Moverman, who wrote
Todd Haynes’s acclaimed Dylan biopic I’m Not There, Love & Mercy similarly has different
actors representing the same character. Paul Dano is astonishing as the younger Brian,
overwhelmed by elation and despair while creating the album Pet Sounds; John Cusack gives
his best performance in years as the broken older Brian, rescued from a controlling ‘therapist’
(Giamatti) by the love and determination of Melinda Ledbetter (Banks). The result is a film that’s
heartbreaking and uplifting at once – much like Wilson’s music.
Contains drug use, references to child abuse and infrequent strong language.

0871 902 5722
Directors: Kyle Balda, Pierre Coffin. Voices: Michael Keaton,
Sandra Bullock, John Hamm. USA 2015. 91 mins.
Ever since the dawn of time, the Minions have lived to serve the biggest and baddest of villains.
Unsuccessful at keeping those masters, however – from T. rex to Napoleon – they eventually
find themselves with no one to serve, and fall into a deep depression. But one Minion named
Kevin has a plan, and alongside teenage rebel Stuart and lovable little Bob he ventures out
into the world to find a new evil boss for his brethren to follow. In this spectacular comedy
adventure, the trio embark on a thrilling journey that ultimately leads them to their next potential
mistress, Scarlet Overkill (Bullock), the world's first female supervillain. Travelling from frigid
Antarctica to 1960s New York City, they end up in swinging London, where they must face their
biggest challenge yet: saving all of Minionkind from annihilation.

Marshland (15)
Best Of Enemies (15)
Director: Alberto Rodríguez. Starring: Javier Gutiérrez, Raúl Arévalo,
María Varod. Spain 2014. 104 mins. Spanish with English subtitles.
Co-writer/director Alberto Rodríguez’s much-garlanded Unit 7 was a noirish police thriller set
in his Seville home town. With Marshland he’s moved an hour’s drive south to the Guadalquivir
wetlands, where a principled rookie cop (Arévalo) and his older, tougher-minded partner
(Gutiérrez) arrive to investigate the disappearance of two young sisters. It’s 1980, and Spain is
moving nervously from dictatorship to democracy. In a community riven by suspicion, misogyny
and a whiff of sexual abuse, the two cops have a hard task ahead of them, and their differing
methodologies – moral and otherwise – soon engender additional tension between them.
Rodríguez’s regular cinematographer Alex Catalán layers the suspenseful narrative with a
palette of agile, impressionist colours and imaginative angles, which add considerably to the
edginess of this masterfully executed drama.

DOCUMENTARY
Directors: Robert Gordon, Morgan Neville.
Featuring: Gore Vidal, William F. Buckley Jnr. USA 2015. 88 mins.
During the controversial 1968 presidential election campaign, the then ailing ABC TV network
ran a series of debates between novelist and liberal iconoclast Gore Vidal and his polar
opposite on the right, William F. Buckley Jnr. This account of their heated if resolutely intellectual
clashes by Robert Gordon and Morgan Neville – directors hitherto better known for music
documentaries (20 Feet From Stardom, Johnny Cash’s America) – is immensely enjoyable, not
least for archive contributions from the likes of Paul Newman and Dick Cavett. Actors Kelsey
Grammer and John Lithgow add engaging context by reading some of the great men’s writings,
while exchanges such as Vidal calling Buckley “a crypto-Nazi” and the latter then threatening
to “sock you in the face” are pure televisual adrenaline.

Director: Tomm Moore.
Voices: Brendan Gleeson,
David Rawle, Fionnula Flanagan.
Ireland/Denmark/Belgium/
Luxembourg/France 2014. 94 mins.
Oscar-nominated for The Secret Of Kells,
Irish director Tomm Moore again uses his
lavishly poetic hand-drawn style to create
this mystical tale. Ben (Rawle) and his
sister Saoirse – a selkie – embark on an
enchanted quest to recover Saoirse’s
magical cloak that transforms her into
a seal. Along the way they encounter
all manner of fairies and otherworldly
creatures, their entire adventure animated
with subtle, unique beauty.
12
0871 902 5722
The iconic 1960s TV series gets a cool
makeover with this race-against-time action
comedy. America’s top secret agent, the
suave Napoleon Solo (Cavill, Man Of
Steel), gets reluctantly teamed up with Soviet
agent Illya Kuryakin (Hammer, The Lone
Ranger) by the international espionage
organisation U.N.C.L.E. Together they must
set aside their Cold War hostilities and locate
the daughter of a vanished German scientist
(Vikander, Ex Machina) before the world
goes kaboom.
Contains moderate action violence.
DOCUMENTARY
The star of the late documentarian Albert Maysles’s penultimate film is Iris Apfel, a flamboyant
93-year-old American textile and interior designer who has become a fashion icon. It wasn’t
until she was in her 80s that she became well known for her unique improvised style, bringing
together layered jewellery and vibrant pattern contrasts. Always sporting her trademark giant
spectacles and riotously colourful outfits, Apfel delivers non-stop witty, quizzical banter.
Maysles creates a quietly impressive work as he joins her on her daily rounds of being
photographed for magazines or buying yet more outrageous furnishings for the homes
she shares with her devoted 100-year-old husband. As with his best-known documentary
Grey Gardens, Maysles himself appears in the film, adding a very personal tone to this
delightful portrait.
Contains infrequent strong language.

A. J. Manglehorn (Pacino) is a former
baseball coach now working as a locksmith
in Texas. Living alone, he’s consumed by
memories of perceived romantic and career
failures. Whilst continuing to send letters
of regret to the love of his life, he sparks a
tentative affair with a bank clerk (Hunter).
David Gordon Green draws nuanced, gentle
performances from his cast in this quirky
character study.
Contains moderate sex references and
infrequent strong language.

DOCUMENTARY
Director: Tiller Russell. USA 2014. 104 mins.
In the late 1980s and early ’90s, Brooklyn
was the murder capital of the USA, and
ground zero for the crack-cocaine epidemic.
One man led his crew on a rampage through
the streets of East New York,robbing dope
dealers at gunpoint, stealing countless kilos of
cocaine and hundreds of thousands of dollars
in cash. He was a New York City cop. This
is his story – a high-octane real-life thriller
about Michael Dowd, the dirtiest cop ever.
Director: Anne Fontaine. Starring: Gemma Arterton, Fabrice Luchini, Niels Schneider.
France/UK 2014. 99 mins. English, and French with English subtitles.
Gemma Arterton (Tamara Drewe) stars as the near-namesake of Flaubert’s Emma Bovary in
this witty film adaptation of cartoonist-author Posy Simmonds’s archly satirical graphic novel.
With her weak-willed husband (Jason Flemyng), Gemma moves to a ramshackle farmhouse in
rural Normandy. She immediately bewitches Martin (Luchini, In The House), the local baker –
and the story’s narrator – who lusts after her. He ends up spying on her when she begins torrid
affairs with air-headed minor aristocrat Hervé (Niels Schneider) and later with an ex-beau.
As in Flaubert’s novel, these liaisons eventually go very wrong, albeit while delivering wildly
amusing consequences. Gemma’s almost-knowing naivety is wonderfully articulated by the
ever-radiant Arterton, and Luchini’s boggle-eyed, poker-faced comic edge is supremely
watchable.

Hot on the heels of While We’re Young,
Baumbach delivers another wry comedy of

Greta Gerwig (Frances Ha). She plays
Brooke, the mile-a-minute new best friend of
Tracy (Kirke, Gone Girl), a smart but slightly
disappointed new girl in town whose mum is
engaged to Brooke’s dad. Bowled over by
her soon-to-be stepsister’s manic but oddly
endearing personality, Tracy soon finds
herself on a series of wild escapades.
Director: Andrew Haigh. Starring: Charlotte Rampling,
Tom Courtenay, Geraldine James. UK 2015. 95 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
Fenland 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.

From filmmaker Wes Orshoski
(Lemmy) comes the story of
the long-ignored pioneers
of punk. This chaotic and
often hilarious love song
to The Damned charts the
band’s complex history and
its famously out-of-order
infighting. Shooting around
the globe over three years,
Orshoski captures the band
as it celebrates its 35th
anniversary with a world tour
– and its estranged former
members strike out on an
anniversary tour of their own.
Rather like his 2005
documentary Earthlings,
writer-director Shaun
Monson’s latest film tackles
the interdependency of all
of Earth’s life forms – plants,
people and animals –
questioning why we can’t
all get along. Using myriad
archive clips and images, and
a starry panoply of narrators
including Jeff Goldblum,
Susan Sarandon, Ben
Kingsley and Jennifer Aniston,
it’s heartfelt, persuasive and
highly watchable.
Edgar Reitz’s epic prequel to
his era-defining Heimat takes
us back to the 1840s. Jakob

his poverty-stricken German
village and emigrating to
Brazil in search of a better

Written by Quentin Tarantino, True Romance
is a hip, hard-edged story of modern love.
Clarence (Slater) and Alabama (Arquette)
enjoy a whirlwind courtship, until violence
erupts and they find themselves on the run
from police and gangsters alike. Now on
a digital print for the very first time, True
Romance looks bigger, brasher, badder and
more stylish than ever.f

Higher Baxt
The finest cult comedy known to humanity!
Fed up with London, two ‘resting’ (i.e.

– embark on a weekend in the countryside
that soon turns into a hilarious disaster,
especially when Withnail’s terrible Uncle
Monty (Griffiths) turns up. Screening in a
restored version that returns the look of the
original 35mm print.
