A Bout De Souffle (PG)
2
Dir: Jean-Luc Godard, Fr, 1960, 88 mins, French dialogue with
subtitles. Jean-Paul Belmondo, Jean Seberg, Jean-Pierre Melville.
In 1943 a young Allen Ginsberg enters Columbia University and
meets up with fellow future Beat poets William Burroughs & Jack
Kerouac, but amidst the start of a new literary movement fuelled
by drugs and sex is a small case of murder. Buzzing with energy
and giddily addictive, this is the story of a literary movement
where anything went and frequently did.
In 1964, Ken Kesey - author of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest
- set off on an LSD-fuelled road trip to the New York. Joined by
‘The Merry Band of Pranksters’ a renegade group of counterculture truth-seekers, the group hooked up with Timothy Leary
and sundry Beat writers, resulting in many squares freaked out
and social conventions overturned. A fascinating documentary
about a legendary age.
Perhaps the defining film of the French New Wave and highly
influenced by the Beat Generation, Goddard’s masterpiece is as
fresh now as it was on release. The story of a petty criminal and
an American girl, it’s fresh, pacy and oozes style. Modern day
hipsters watch it and weep.

Two astronauts on a space walk are stranded and

most highly praised Hollywood movie this year,
Gravity is a cinematic tour de force that merges
spectacular special effects with an all too human
story of survival against the odds.

Philomena (12A)
1
Dir: Stephen Frears, UK, 2013, 98 mins.
Judi Dench, Steve Coogan, Charlie Murphy.
The flirtatious girlfriend of a Scotland Yard
detective accompanies an artist to his apartment
and ends up killing him when he tries to rape her.
Seen leaving the scene of the crime, she becomes
the victim of blackmail. Hitchcock’s final silent
film (he remade it as a talkie soon after release),
Blackmail is a subtle thriller with great set pieces.
We’re delighted to welcome Wendy Hiscock to
accompany tonight’s screening.

Allgood, Anny Ondra, John Longden. With live
piano accompaniment from Wendy Hiscock.
In the sequel to Marius, Fanny is expecting his
child, but he has run away to sea and she agrees
to marry a prosperous shopkeeper. Meanwhile,
Marius returns home to try to win back Fanny’s
affections. A lush, gripping sun-dappled drama
with a sting in the tail.
Fri 3 - Thu 9 Jan (Not 5 & 6)
Thu 16 Jan
Grounded by two classy performances from
the ever-reliable Judi Dench and the seemingly
ever-present Steve Coogan, Philomena tells
the true story of a woman’s search for the son
that was taken from her and sold by nuns 50
years previously. Dench and Coogan adroitly
navigate the shifts between drama and humour
and imbue their real-life characters with depth,
dignity and pathos.
Fri 24 - Sat 25 Jan
Rear Window (PG)
2
Dir: Alfred Hitchcock, US, 1954, 107 mins.
James Stewart, Grace Kelly, Wendell Corey.
2
Dir: Asghar Farhadi, Iran, 2006, 99 mins, Farsi
dialogue with subtitles. Hedieh Tehrani, Taraneh
Alidousti, Hamid Farokhnezhad.
Alexander (Sideways) Payne’s latest charts a
trip taken from Montana to Nebraska by David
with his father Woody, an irascible, forgetful
old boozer who believes he’s won a million
dollar lottery. Bitingly funny and undeniably
sad, the film paints an affectionate but never
sentimentalised portrait of the midwest and
won Dern the Best Actor award in Cannes.
Cambodian director Rithy Panh lost all his family
during Pol Pot’s murderous regime. Looking back
at his life he recreates the horrors of that time
through an unusual mix of archive film and clay
figures. A powerful and haunting documentary, it’s
a fitting tribute to those who did not survive to tell
their tale and a chilling reminder of Cambodia’s not
so distant past.
Fri 3 - Thu 9 Jan (Not 5 & 6)
Floating
Skyscrapers (18)
Dir: Tomasz Wasilewski, Pol, 2013, 93 mins,
Polish dialogue with subtitles. Mateusz
Banasiuk, Marta Nieradkiewicz, Bartosz Gelner.
Kuba, a champion swimmer, lives with his
mother and girlfriend Sylwia and spends much
of his time training. One evening, he and Sylwia
attend a gallery opening where he meets Michal
and a new relationship develops. A powerful
and thought-provoking piece of cinema.
When Rouhi, a young bride-to-be, takes a
temporary job cleaning she finds herself in the
middle of an explosive domestic conflict between
Mojdeh and her husband Morteza over a suspected
affair with the next door neighbour. Over the course
of the day, the young woman, the sparring couple,
their small son, the wife’s sister and husband, and
the neighbour engage in a series of exchanges
and confrontations as the truth unfolds. From
the Oscar-winning director of A Separation and
About Elly, this is an engrossing portrait of three
marriages set against the backdrop of the Persian
New Year.
Tue 14 - Wed 15 Jan
Saving Mr Banks (PG)
1
Dir: Virginia Gilbert, UK, 2013, 80 mins.
James Fox, Brenda Fricker, Natalie Dormer,
Paul Nicholls.
In sunny Nimes, expat couple Joseph and
Brenda enjoy a peaceful retirement with
Radio 4 and English newspapers. However, a
chance encounter with a pair of 30something
holidaymakers upsets the precarious balance
in their superficially calm life. With nuanced
performances from the cast who explore the
shifting emotional currents to perfection, this
is a devastating portrait of temptation in a
Provencal paradise.

Dir: Justin Chadwick, UK/SA, 2013, English,
Afrikaans & Xhosa dialogue. Idris Elba, Naomie
Harris, Tony Kgoroge.
Dir: Arnaud des Pallières, Fr/Ger, 2013,
122 mins, French & German dialogue with
subtitles. Mads Mikkelsen, Mélusine Mayance,
Delphine Chuillot.
The story of Nelson Mandela’s life from rural
childhood to antiapartheid fighter, prisoner and
finally to President of South Africa. Based on
Mandela’s autobiography, this is powerful, moving
and ultimately uplifting, with Idris Elba outstanding
as the eponymous hero.
Thu 23 Jan
Fri 31 Jan - Thu 6 Feb (Not 2 & 3)
La Belle Et La Bete (PG) 1
Dir: Jean Cocteau, Fr, 1946, 94 mins, French
dialogue with subtitles. Jean Marais, Josette Day,
Mila Parély.
For 20 years, P L Travers, author of Mary Poppins,
resisted Walt Disney’s attempts to persuade her
to let him make a film of the children’s classic.
Saving Mr Banks tells the story of the creation of
the film and the culture clash between the brash
American and the strait-laced Australian author.

A tale of injustice and revolt set in 16th century
France, Age of Uprising follows the plight of
Michael Kohlhaas, a happy and prosperous
family man and horse trader, who after suffering
an injustice at the hands of an arrogant baron
followed by the murder of his wife, sets out on
a path to vengeance. A sombre and brilliantly
realised period revenge drama, armed with a
lurking muscularity.

The latest in our selection of film’s suggested
by our ushers (thanks Brian) Rear Window
shows Hitchcock at the height of his powers in
this tale of an injured photographer confined to
a wheelchair who thinks he witnesses a murder
in an adjacent building. A thriller that continues
to grip.
More beautiful than ever in a new digital
restoration, Cocteau’s spellbinding, sensuous
masterpiece based on the classic fairytale was
recently described by director Guillermo del Toro
as ‘the most perfect cinematic fable ever told’.
Quite simply, pure magic.
The Railway Man (12A) 1
Dir: Jonathan Teplitzky, Aus/UK, 2013, 116 mins.
Colin Firth, Nicole Kidman, Stellan Skarsgård.
Based on the true story of a British officer
captured and tortured by the Japanese during
WWII. Traumatised by his experiences, it is
only many years later that he can achieve
closure. Sensitively told, this is a compelling
and emotionally gratifying story of love and
forgiveness.
