NOVEMBER - DECEMBER 2018
HI FILM FANS, We love Christmas at the cinema! A chance for us to play a few festive favourites alongside some big new releases. We also like to look back over the year and maybe play a few films that people might have missed. There’s a great mix of movies for November and December including cult horror SUSPIRIA from director Luca Guadagnino, the return of Mike Leigh with PETERLOO, Robert Redford’s swansong THE OLD MAN AND THE GUN and Disney films RALPH BREAKS THE INTERNET: WRECKIT RALPH 2 and MARY POPPINS RETURNS. For drama audiences we have THE WIFE, DISOBEDIENCE and some great previews in our first collaboration with CINECITY FIlm Festival. The big drama for the new-year is THE FAVOURITE starring Olivia Colman and Rachel Weisz. Thrill seekers can enjoy THE GIRL IN THE SPIDER’S WEB, FIRST MAN and the new adventure from the world of Harry Potter - FANTASTIC BEASTS: THE CRIMES OF GRINDELWALD.
MY PICK
I’m a huge fan of the original MARY POPPINS and it looks like they’ve kept to the spirit of that masterpiece with MARY POPPINS RETURNS. Being a fan of 80’s action I’m also chomping at the bit to see DIE HARD on the big screen!

DIRECTOR Bjorn Runge STARRING Glenn Close, Jonathan Pryce, Christian Slater SPECIFICATION (15) USA 2018. 100 Mins

Ignoring his infidelities and excuses because of his art. Now, on the eve of him receiving the Nobel Prize for literature, she is about to confront the biggest secret of his career.

SYNOPSIS An epic portrayal of the events surrounding the infamous 1819 Peterloo Massacre, where a peaceful prodemocracy rally at St Peter’s Field in Manchester turned into one of the bloodiest and most notorious episodes in British history. Government forces charged into the 60,000 strong crowd and many protesters were killed and hundreds more injured. The Peterloo Massacre was a defining moment in British democracy which also played a significant role in the founding of The Guardian newspaper.
MR TURNER
BUZZ Mike Leigh is one of the UK’s greatest directors, always
VERA DRAKE
delivering thought provoking films with amazing performances from homegrown talent. The story from 1919 has eerily prescient echos of modern society bringing this dark chapter of history to life in a relevant way. Leigh delves into the characters at the rally and the government and makes a compelling study of humanity under pressure.

DIRECTOR David Lowery | STARRING Robert Redford, Casey Affleck, Sissy Spacek | SPECIFICATION (12A) USA 2018. 93 Mins
SYNOPSIS Based on the true story of Forrest Tucker, from
his audacious escape from San Quentin at the age of 70 to an unprecedented string of heists that confounded authorities and enchanted the public. Wrapped up in the pursuit are detective John Hunt, who becomes captivated with Forrest’s commitment to his craft, and a woman, who loves him in spite of his chosen profession.
BUZZ This is the last screen performance of Robert Redford
after he announced his retirement earlier this year. He dominates this film with an astounding presence, although Casey Affleck and Sissy Spacek more than hold their own against the screen titan. Director David Lowery has proved incredibly versatile after bursting onto the scene with his debut AIN’T THEM BODIES SAINTS and then family fantasy PETE’S DRAGON.
SPOTLIGHT
If this is to be Robert Redford’s swansong then he has left a legacy of amazing performances from The Sundance Kid to Bob Woodward via Out of Africa and Three Days of the Condor. His directorial career is also littered with gems including Quiz Show and The Horse Whisperer. A true hollywood legend bowing out in style.

SPECIFICATION (18) USA/UK 2018. 153 Mins
SYNOPSIS A remake of Dario Argento’s
1977 masterpiece and a horror film like no other! A darkness swirls at the centre of a world-renowned dance company, one that will engulf the artistic director, an ambitious young dancer, and a grieving psychotherapist. Some will succumb to the nightmare. Others will finally wake up.
BUZZ This is an odd choice for the director
of CALL ME BY YOUR NAME as a follow up. Guadagnino has taken the source material and expanded it beyond just a horror film. This is an intense melodramatic thriller with relationships at it’s heart. It completely polarised festival audiences with some lauding it a masterpiece and others denouncing it as silly. Either way it looks as if Guadagnino has created a fascinating conversation piece similar to Aronofsky’s MOTHER!

and Michael Banks, along with Michael’s three children, are visited by the enigmatic Mary Poppins following a personal loss. Through her unique magical skills, and with the aid of her friend Jack, she helps the family rediscover the joy and wonder missing in their lives.
BUZZ This sequel looks absolutely delightful with Emily Blunt
really capturing the feel of Julie Andrews in the title role. Disney have been respectful of the original film and source novels with the style and look of the film. Lin-Manuel Miranda has written songs as well as starring. It’s wonderful to see Dick Van Dyke return as well as Disney favourite Angela Lansbury. Fingers crossed this is as fantastic as the trailers have made it look so far.
JAMES
Campaigns and Film Manager As a huge fan of MARY POPPINS, the news of a sequel made me a little scared. But so far Emily Blunt looks brilliant in the lead. The songs from HAMILTON creator LinManuel Miranda also look pretty exciting. There’s a magic about the blending of live action, animation and song that feels absolutely wonderful.

French. Nevertheless, duck racing and pineapple eating are thriving. A frail Queen Anne occupies the throne and her close friend Lady Sarah governs the country in her stead while tending to Anne’s ill health and mercurial temper. When a new servant Abigail arrives, her charm endears her to Sarah. Sarah takes Abigail under her wing and Abigail sees a chance at a return to her aristocratic roots. As the politics of war become quite time consuming for Sarah, Abigail steps into the breach to fill in as the Queen’s companion. Their burgeoning friendship gives her a chance to fulfill her ambitions and she will not let woman, man, politics or rabbit stand in her way.
