ON FILM PAGE TO SCREEN Following the success of previous courses, this Autumn course covers different genres and times. We look at how well known novels are transformed into film by using a mixture of the written word and film clips. It can be helpful (not essential) for attendees to have read the books. The course will be led by Rosemary Coxon, a member of the cinema’s Education Department and a former English teacher and schools adviser.

Her world comes crashing down when she learns that he has betrayed and abandoned her for another woman. Now she stands to lose her position in society and faces banishment and separation from her children. After pleading successfully for a single day’s grace, she exacts a terrible revenge. and destroys everything she holds dear. Stage and screen star Helen McCrory, whose film roles include ‘Skyfall’ and three Harry Potter films, was previously seen at the National Theatre in ‘The Last of the Haussmans’. She takes the lead role in this new version of ‘Medea’ by NT Associate Director Ben Power, who so skilfully adapted Ibsen’s epic ‘Emperor and Galilean’. The director is Carrie Cracknell, whose credits include a much-acclaimed Young Vic production of ‘A Doll’s House.’ Running time 100m approx (No interval)

Hermitage Revealed takes audiences on a thrilling journey through the museum’s tumultuous history from imperial palace to state museum, and offers unprecedented access to special collections and exclusive areas that remain hidden from the public eye. The production brings together the oldest, rarest, most precious and most closely guarded of Russia’s greatest treasures; items bought with great wealth or acquired by other means, items hoarded and saved from revolutionaries, items thought lost and later re-found - all works and their unique stories presented with an intimacy and immediacy that no museum or gallery experience can match. From Rembrandt to Russian masterpieces, prehistoric artefacts to the private gemstone collection of Catherine The Great, from Michelangelo to Matisse and much, much more, the exquisite treasures the Hermitage has to offer are seemingly endless. Hermitage Revealed puts you right there amongst it all.

A romantic drama set in Germany just before WWI and centred on a married woman who falls in love with her husband’s protégé. Friedrich (Richard Madden) rises to the attention of his new boss Karl (Alan Rickman). As he volunteers to tutor Karl’s son, he gets attached to Karl’s young wife Lotte (Rebecca Hall). Rickman, Hall and Madden deliver perfectly crafted performances, each revealing the difficulty of keeping a promise when personal needs are not being fulfilled. The impact of the period of pre-WW I Germany; Germany at war and losing; and the gloom of silence after the war is over, is underlined splendidly by Eduardo Serra’s cinematography and Yared’s Beethoven-infused score. This is a finely crafted, exquisitely beautiful period piece, its mood lingers in the mind long after the film is over. France/Belgium 2014 Patrice Leconte 98m

Deux Jours, Une Nuit
Sandra (Marion Cotillard), a young woman assisted by her husband, has only one weekend to convince her colleagues to give up their bonuses so that she can keep her job. A tense dramatic situation and a subtly magnificent central performance from Cotillard add up to an outstanding movie from the Dardenne brothers – a ‘Twelve Angry Men’ of the 21st-century workplace. Sandra returns to work after a breakdown, only to find that the management have effectively made her the sacrificial victim of a ‘Sophie’s Non-Choice’ offered to the rest of the staff. Desperately, Sandra forces her duplicitous staff rep to institute a vote – do they want their bonus or their colleague Sandra? The Dardennes have made a brilliant social-realist drama with a real narrative tension reminiscent of Ken Loach’s ‘Bread and Roses’. (subtitles) Belgium/France 2013 Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne 95m Box Office 01243 786 650

Back by popular demand is Allan Karlsson, who like Forrest Gump, succeeds in life despite evident drawbacks. Karlsson (Robert Gustafsson) isn’t the sharpest tool in the box, but he has an innate common sense and a good heart, that over his long life has earned him some surprising friends (Stalin, Reagan, Gorbachev…). With echoes of Woody Allen’s ‘Zelig’, the humour is delivered with such deadpan panache that it’s irresistible. Sweden 2013 Felix Herngren 114m

Norte, the End of History The torture of life caught between right and wrong paths is captured blazingly in an epic and ambitious film worthy of Dostoyevsky. The Norte of the title refers to a Philippino province where a hothead student called Fabian (Sid Lucero) holds forth on the subject of atheism and anarchism to his long-suffering friends. Innocence and punishment come together in this gripping Dostoyevskian epic: a gigantic saga composed with pellucid clarity and simplicity, and a kind of transcendental naturalism. This is a classical tragedy of the modern Philippines and of global capitalism, a story of violence, hate, fear and love spread out on a colossal panorama which extends its reach into the realms of the spiritual and the supernatural. Sergio Leone might have wanted to make his own version of ‘Norte, the End of History’. Sun 7 Sep 15:30 Wed 10 Sep 12:15

Wakolda The German Doctor
What would you do if the charismatic doctor you invited into your home happens to be a Nazi war criminal? Patagonia, 1960. A German physician meets an Argentinean family and follows them on the long desert road to Bariloche where Eva, Enzo and their three children are going to open a lodging lake house. This model family reawakens his obsession with purity and perfection, in particular Lilith, a 12 year-old with a body too small for her age. Unaware of his true identity, they accept him as their first guest. They are all gradually won over by this charismatic man, by his elegant manners, his scientific knowledge and his money - until they discover they are living with one of the biggest criminals of all times. Lucía Puenzo’s movie, adapted from her own novel, is an atmospheric triumph not to be missed. Argentina/Spain/Norway 2013 Lucía Puenzo 93m

Mood Indigo L’Écume des Jours ‘Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind’ director Michel Gondry delights with another visually unforgettable experience. Based on the cult novel by author Boris Vian, prominent Paris bachelor Colin (Romain Duris) shares a posh rooftop apartment with his trusted chef and lawyer Nicolas (Omar Sy). Later, Colin meets the enchanting Chloe (Audrey Tautou) at a party, and the pair fall into a magical whirlwind romance that quickly leads to marriage. But all is not well with Chloe; there is a water lily growing in her lungs, and despite her worsening condition Colin spares no expense in supplying her with fresh flowers she needs so that she can go on breathing. But despite Colin’s best efforts in treating his beloved bride’s unusual malady; she continues to wither away right before his unbelieving eyes. Unexpected, unusual and unforgettable, and Gondry is well and truly back. France/Belgium 2013 Michel Gondry 131m

Black comedy set in a blue-collar neighbourhood, in Phillip Seymour Hoffman’s penultimate film. When Mickey Scarpato’s (Hoffman) crazy stepson Leon is killed in a construction ‘accident’, nobody in the working class neighbourhood of God’s Pocket is sorry he’s gone. He tries to bury the bad news with the body, but when the boy’s mother demands the truth, Mickey finds himself stuck in a life and death struggle between a body he can’t bury, a wife (Christina Hendricks) he can’t please and a debt he can’t pay. His quest to bury his stepson Leon takes him around a rogue’s gallery of local faces, including his partner in crime (John Turturro). Everyone’s fighting to live in a world that hates them, and scenes brim with a deliciously uncomfortable tension. USA 2013 John Slattery 89m

Hector (Pegg) is a quirky psychiatrist who has become increasingly tired of his humdrum life. As he tells his girlfriend, Clara (Pike), he feels like a fraud: he hasn’t really tasted life, and yet he’s offering advice to patients who are just not getting any happier. So Hector decides to break out of his deluded and routine driven life. Armed with buckets of courage and child-like curiosity, he embarks on a global quest in hopes of uncovering the elusive secret formula for true happiness. And so begins a larger than life adventure with riotously funny results. Based on the world-wide best-selling novel of the same name, this is a rich, exhilarating and hilarious tale from director Peter Chelsom. UK / Germany 2014 Peter Chelsom 110m Box Office 01243 786 650

RSC (delayed Live) Shakespeare’s witty, exuberant romantic comedy of young love, broadcast live from his home town of Stratford-upon Avon. Valentine and Proteus are best friends who live in Verona. Valentine begs Proteus to join him on a journey to Milan, when he intends to broaden his horizons. But Proteus declines and remains behind in Verona, where he becomes betrothed to Julia. When he eventually joins Valentine in Milan, he finds his friend has fallen in love with the Duke’s daughter, Silvia, and as soon as he sees her, Proteus is instantly smitten too. Simon Goodwin makes his RSC debut to direct Shakespeare’s lively, infrequently performed and very early romantic comedy. The staging has a winning comic fizz but it also does justice to the play’s more complex feelings, which at times cut surprisingly deep. Approx 180m including interval

Nick Cave:

Wed 17 Sep 19:00 Booking Ref
A bold vision of one of music’s most mysterious and charismatic figures, the iconic Nick Cave. Drama and documentary fuse by weaving a cinematically staged day in Cave’s life with never-before-seen verité observation of his full creative cycle. The film delves into Cave’s artistic processes, unpicking the stuff that makes him tick. We meet those who have affected his life, personally and professionally, including hilarious moments shared with his regular collaborator, the multiinstrumentalist and epic beardwearer Warren Ellis; actor and friend Ray Winstone; and Kylie Minogue. Avowedly neither a music documentary nor a concert film, it contains electrifying performances. We see a song grow from the tiniest of ideas sketched out by Cave in his office to a monstrous epic performed by the peerless Bad Seeds on stage at Sydney Opera House.

Joe
Joe (Nicholas Cage), an ex-con, runs a rough-neck crew thinning out forested land for dubious purposes. One day adolescent Gary (Sheriden, a revelation in ‘Mud’) turns up persuasively begging for work. Recognising Gary’s desperation, Joe becomes his mentor and ultimately protector from an aggressively drunk father (Poulter, a real-life drifter who died post-production). As was director David Gordon Green’s previous film ‘Prince Avalanche’, this is an atmospherically raw work about life at the moral and economic margins, but with harsher undertones. Gary may become dependent on Joe to the point of infatuation, but he is not beyond standing up for his beliefs, and neither is an often emotionally and sexually inarticulate Joe, who Cage gives considerable depth to - whilst smoking an awful lot of cigarettes.

Fritz Lang’s classic early talkie crime melodrama, where police try to capture an elusive child killer (Peter Lorre) and round up every criminal in town. The underworld leaders decide to take the heat off their activities by catching the killer themselves. Once the killer is fingered, he is marked with the letter “M” chalked on his back and is tracked down and captured by the combined forces of the Berlin criminal community, who put him on trial for his life in a kangaroo court. The killer pleads for mercy, whining that he can’t control his homicidal instincts. The police close in and rescue the killer from the underworld so that he can stand trial again in “respectable” circumstances. Filmed in Germany, ‘M’ was the film that solidified Lang’s reputation with American audiences, and it also made a star out of Peter Lorre (previously a specialist in comedy roles!). Sun

This documentary takes as its starting point the accidental discovery by real-estate agent John Maloof of a huge cache of negatives. It was only later that he realised their importance: he had stumbled upon a wealth of stunning photographs by Vivian Maier, an unsung talent who had worked as a nanny in Chicago and New York from the 1950s to the 1990s. Maloof’s discovery resulted in Maier’s recognition as one of the most vivid street photographers of the 20th century. Paying homage to her work as well as exploring the strange twists and turns of her life, this film is dense with images, interviews and revelations, painting a fitting and moving portrait of a true artist, who sadly only gained recognition after her death.

Rather like Director Lasse Hallström’s ‘Chocolat’, this is a sensuously photographed film which is as much foodie-fantasy as engagingly off-beat romantic drama. Displaced from their native India by sectarian conflict, Papa Kadam (the legendary Om Puri) and his family take their epicurean passions to a picturesque French town, where they turn a derelict roadhouse into a traditional Indian eatery, Maison Mumbai. Trouble is, right across the road is a posh, Michelin-starred restaurant run by Madame Mallory (an imperious Helen Mirren), whose efforts to stymie their business eventually turn nasty. But meanwhile her sous-chef, Marguerite (Le Bon), is falling for the Kadam family’s star cook, Hassan. As the two factions traverse the strip of tarmac that separates them, their social, cultural and indeed romantic divisions gradually fade, to sometimes surprising ends.

However, as the Second World War is happening around them, business is not what it could be.

The Rover
A decade after global economic breakdown, a hardened loner Eric (Guy Pearce) pursues the men who stole his only possession, his car. The chase is then on, a hunt that soon involves Henry’s injured brother Rey (Robert Pattinson), whom the thieves have left for dead after some unspecified incident. Indeed, in David Michôd’s bleakly atmospheric film – which packs the same visceral punch as his ‘Animal Kingdom’ – confrontation, often leading to almost casual violence, is the norm when there’s very little left to lose. Eric’s harrowing backstory gradually emerges to explain his behaviour, and as in ‘The Road’ (in which Pearce co-starred) and the ‘Mad Max’ saga, it’s all about scaling the edge of reason in a broken world.

Folman’s follow-up to ‘Waltz with Bashir’ is an even more imaginative combination of live and animated action, with Robin Wright playing herself as an actress of whom youth-fixated Hollywood has tired. Her spiky agent (Harvey Keitel) offers her one last role: to submit to a scanning process that will preserve her image forever, and which a cynical studio boss (Danny Huston) can deploy at will. Rising medical bills for her sick son eventually oblige her to accept the offer, and when her new persona becomes wildly successful, she’s invited to attend the Futurological Congress. There she meets the animator responsible for her enduring popularity – himself an animated image (voiced by Mad Men’s John Hamm). Based on a novel by Stanisław Lem (Solaris), this is both a sobering comment on fame’s transience and a dazzling visual feast. Israel/Germany/Poland 2013 Ari Folman 122m

Dakota Fanning and Jesse Eisenberg shine in a thriller that combines cinematic lyricism with an astute exploration of radical environmentalism. In this taut political thriller, environmentalist Josh (Eisenberg) and society drop-out Dena (Fanning) drive halfway across Oregon and meet with ex-marine Harmon (Peter Sarsgaard) to execute their meticulously planned act of eco-terrorism. Following their clandestine operation, they separate and resume their regular lives, but the media frenzy that follows reveals the unintended consequences of their actions. Reichardt’s cinematic lyricism is always laced with astute observation about politics, gender and class. In this urgent and absorbing film she amplifies the political, making it central to the narrative thrust, but she remains just as interested in the interiority of her characters. The film’s stealthy, provocative central question becomes: what ignites protest and is it ever truly selfless? USA 2013 Kelly Reichardt 112m Box Office 01243 786 650

Singer chronicles the filmmakers’ personal involvement, as well as contemporary reactions to the original footage – which the government of the day deemed too shocking for public consumption, but which now at last can be judged on its merits as a terrible warning against the consequences of unchallenged dictatorship and fascism.

‘What is Cinema?’ is an attempt to chronicle where the best of cinema might be today and where it will be, or should be tomorrow. Using the words and ideas of great filmmakers, from archival interviews with Alfred Hitchcock and Robert Bresson to new interviews with Mike Leigh, David Lynch, and Jonas Mekas, Oscar-winning filmmaker Chuck Workman shows what these filmmakers and others do, that can’t be expressed in words - but only in cinema. This documentary looks at the films and filmmakers that, in the opinion of the director, might matter today or tomorrow. Narratives, dramatic films, and experimental films that use the cinematic tool kit in ways that Picasso or Frank Lloyd Wright or Chekhov might have used their art form’s tools, often breaking the rules, or inventing new ones, asking the audience to look harder, listen more carefully, think about the form of the work as much as the content.

Paris Opera LIVE Puccini artfully combines the ingredients of a melodrama written for Sarah Bernhardt and comes up with what might be called the opera of operas, a spectacle at once primitive and decadent. A singer in love, passionate, jealous and impulsive; a romantic painter, an idealist and a defender of liberty; a police chief with a lust for flesh, power and blood, ready to do anything to achieve his ends. In a mythical yet real Rome, from the shadows of the church of Sant’ Andrea della Valle to the terrace of Castello Sant’ Angelo, passions collide and tear all apart, mingling the erotic with the sacred, love with possession, theatre with life.

Anna, a young nun in 1960s Poland, is on the verge of taking her vows when she discovers a dark family secret dating back to the years of the Nazi occupation. Filmed in incandescent blackand-white, this is an intimate, poetic exploration of the limits of faith. Orphaned during WWII, Anna was brought up in a rural convent and in early 60s Poland is a young novice preparing to take her vows. When the Mother Superior insists she make contact with her last remaining relative, she meets her aunt Wanda, a free-living intellectual. Their encounter lifts the shroud off the dark secret of their family’s past. Both actresses are superb and reveal much with what they do not show, but this pure and haunting concept is also true of the film’s cogent and profoundly moving narrative.

Jennifer Aniston stretches herself impressively as kidnapped housewife Mickey Dawson in this Elmore Leonard crime caper. With solid support from Mos Def (‘Begin Again’) and John Hawkes, who demand a ransom from her cheating husband (a wonderfully arrogant Tim Robbins). Unfortunately for these two small-time hoods and their unwittingly hilarious accomplice (Mark Boone Jr), hubby won’t cough up, instead using this as an opportunity to cement plans to wed his equally scheming mistress (Isla Fisher). But of course it all goes hideously wrong, for all concerned. This typically wry yarn from co-producer Leonard (who sadly died before the film wrapped) is directed with unshowy finesse by its screenwriter, Daniel Schechter, the chemistry between Aniston and Hawkes in particular rendering it exceptionally watchable.

A harbour town is in dire need of a doctor so that it can land a contract to secure a factory which will save the town from financial ruin. Starring Brendan Gleeson. In an age where most comedies are charged with slapstick and sexual humour, it is very refreshing for a film to take on a more simple and ingenious form of comedy. Murray (Gleeson) is a middle aged fisherman in Tickle Cove. With most of its inhabitants living on welfare, he sees an opportunity to bring the harbour back to its feet when the possibility of a factory opening arises. However, it is necessary for a doctor to practice in the harbour. So after a plastic surgeon from the city gets a job in Tickle Cove for a month, Murray takes it upon himself to make sure he never wants to leave. Canada/Ireland 2014 Don McKellar 113m

Manuscripts Don’t Burn Dast-neveshtehaa nemisoosand Defying a 20-year work ban, dissident Iranian filmmaker Rasoulof blasts state censorship in this politically charged murder thriller based on real events. The story is inspired the so-called “Chain Murders” of more than 80 Iranian writers, intellectuals, political activists and ordinary citizens between 1988 and 1998. All had been critical of the Islamic Republic. Among the alleged perpetrators accused by human rights groups were Mostafa Pour Mohammadi and Gholam Hossein Mohseni Ezhei, who later became President Ahmadinejad’s interior and intelligence ministers respectively. This is emphatically not a film that will please the current regime. An unflinching portrait of state-sponsored evil, Manuscripts Don’t Burn feels like the work of an angry artist who has been jailed, censored and harassed too long. This time it’s personal. Iran 2013 Mohammad Rasoulof 125m

ROH Ballet (Delayed Live) Kenneth MacMillan brings Manon’s story vividly to life, with his ballet, which evokes the brutality and decadence described in Abbé Prévost’s infamous novel. Manon Lescaut is a beautiful young woman who falls prey to the moral corruption of 18th-century Paris. As well as the feckless character of Manon herself, she is torn between love for the poet Des Grieux and her desire for money and attention. For his acclaimed three-act ballet, the great choreographer Kenneth MacMillan returned to Prevost’s notorious novel set amid the brutality and decadence of 18th century Paris, and utilising music by Massenet, he brought vividly to life the complex character of Manon. The ballet returns to Covent Garden in its 40th anniversary year. 155m approx including interval

When his lover Kai (Andrew Leung) dies unexpectedly, Richard (Ben Whishaw) and Junn, Kai’s Chinese-Cambodian mother (Cheng from ‘Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon’), share their grief in this touching study of affection built on denial. Feeling abandoned in a drab retirement home, Junn is also hampered by her lack of English. This makes communication tricky for Richard – who must also disguise the fact that her son was gay – although it prompts some comic interludes with the resident lothario (Bowles) and a translator (‘Morven Christie’). Despite these obstacles, Junn’s instinctive hostility towards Richard gradually evaporates, thanks largely to his obvious concern for her. Made on a tiny budget, Cambodian expat Hong Khaou’s debut feature is suffused with subtlety, and boasts especially magnetic performances by its two leads. UK 2014 Hong Khaou 86m

From the creators of the hit BBC comedy series ‘Outnumbered’ - this is a heart-warming, uplifting comedy for all the family. Doug (David Tennant) and Abi (Rosamund Pike) and their three children travel to the Scottish Highlands for Doug’s father Gordie’s (Billy Connolly) birthday party. They are going through a difficult divorce, and it is soon clear that when it comes to keeping a secret under wraps from the rest of the family, their children are their biggest liability. The funniest script that has come out of the UK in years. Both edgy and commercial, this will appeal to anyone who has ever felt like laughing and crying during a tense family gathering.

A Swiss Professor (Jeremy Irons) abandons his buttoned-down life to embark on a thrilling adventure in this Chichester Film Festival sell-out opener. Professor Gregorius saves a beautiful Portuguese woman from leaping to her death and stumbles upon a mesmerizing book by a Portuguese author that compels him to leave his boring life. He finds himself intrigued by its contents and is soon caught up in the story of a young revolutionary Amadeu (the charming Jack Huston), and a tangled web of politics, philosophy, love and death. There are so many layers, so many subtle metaphors, so much poetry in the imagery and storytelling, that despite being such a straightforward story you can’t help feeling like you’re walking through a labyrinth of emotions and thoughts, where present, past and future merge into a vast uplifting eternity.

Directed by David Fincher and based upon the global bestseller by Gillian Flynn, ‘Gone Girl’ unearths the secrets at the heart of a modern marriage. On the occasion of his fifth wedding anniversary, Nick Dunne (Ben Affleck) reports that his wife, Amy (Rosamund Pike), has gone missing. Under pressure from the police, and a growing media frenzy, Nick’s portrait of a blissful union begins to crumble. Soon his lies, deceits and strange behaviour have everyone asking the same dark question: Did Nick Dunne kill his wife? Nick, however, swears he’s innocent. As the story gets bigger and bigger, more clues reveal that all is not what it seems. Author Gillian Flynn also wrote the screenplay for the film, which opens the New York Film Festival this year.

Le Jour se Lève
Often considered Carné’s greatest work, this classic of French poetic realism is an exquisitely crafted noir. Jean Gabin (‘La Grande Illusion’) stars as François who has committed a terrible crime. Holed up in a claustrophobic flat, over the course of a long night he reflects on the oppressive circumstances - a love affair with young florist; the knowledge that she is under the damaging spell of the sinister Valentin; and a fling with Valentin’s assistant - that have led him to murder. A film of its time, it responded so clearly to the pessimism and foreboding felt on the cusp of WWII that after its 1939 release, it was promptly banned on the grounds that it was demoralising an already defeated nation. Includes new, previously censored scenes that will be seen by audiences for the very first time. France 1939 Marcel Carné 93m

Violette
Violette Leduc, born a bastard at the beginning of last century, meets Simone de Beauvoir in the years after the war in St-Germain-des-Prés. Then begins an intense relationship. French author Violette Leduc struggled for years before finally achieving success in 1964 with her fearlessly self-exposing memoir ‘La Bâtarde’. Played with magnificent authority by Emmanuelle Devos, Leduc is the subject of this utterly non-glamorising portrait by Martin Provost, whose acclaimed 2008 ‘Séraphine’ celebrated another female creative outsider. The film is also about her literary circle, notably Jean Genet, and her protective but forbidding patron Simone de Beauvoir (a memorably frosty Sandrine Kiberlain), for whom she conceives a painful unrequited passion. ‘Violette’ is an evocative picture of a period, of a sometimes stifling literary universe and, above all, of an uncompromising literary pioneer and feminist icon.

After accidentally destroying their stockpile of fodder, Surly is banished by the bossy Raccoon (Neeson) from the parkland he shares with his fellow scavengers. He therefore embarks on an audacious plan to rob the local nut shop – but as fate would have it, the shop is merely a Mafia front. Despite an enjoyably aggressive guard dog called Precious (Maya Rudolph), it all comes right in the end for Surly and his best squirrel pals, the self-serving Grayson (Fraser) and the caring Andie (Katherine Heigl).

Blood Ties Set in grimy mid-’70s Brooklyn, the first American movie from writer-director Guillaume Canet is a darker, more intricate remake of the 2008 French film ‘Rivals’, in which Canet himself starred. When career villain Chris (Clive Owen) is released from jail, he lodges with his zealous cop brother Frank (Billy Crudup) and takes up with a sexy receptionist (Mila Kunis). But Chris finds it hard to go straight, especially since his ex-wife (Marillon Cotillard) has become a drug-addicted hooker, and his ailing father (James Caan) favours him over his squeaky-clean sibling. When his legit catering start-up literally goes up in flames, and Frank then arrests his old flame Zoe Saldana’s violent husband, the titular blood ties are stretched beyond breaking point.

David Cronenberg delivers a riveting and intellectually rigorous look at the human psyche and damaged, tortured souls. Led by the loathsome yet funny child-star Benjie, we witness the convoluted world of shallow, selfish celebrities, all of whom are about to be manipulated by the woman who represents the fruit of their twisted machinations, Benjie’s sister Agatha (a formidable Mia Wasikowska). This is a modern (blackly comic) Hollywood Gothic (‘Sunset Boulevard’ meets ‘Whatever happened To Baby Jane?’). As the shallow and capricious faded star who seems to take Agatha under her wing, Julianne Moore gives a career defining performance that earned her the Cannes Best Actress Prize. Cronenberg is at the top of his game here. 2014 Canada/USA/Germany David Cronenberg 111m
The Rewrite An Oscar-winning writer (Hugh Grant) in a slump leaves Hollywood to teach screenwriting at a college on the East Coast, where he falls for a single mom taking classes there (Marisa Tomei). Keith Michaels is a washed-up British screenwriter. He had won the Academy Award for Best Screenplay in 1998 and was on top of the world - a witty, sexy, Englishman in Hollywood. Fifteen years later, he’s creatively washed up, divorced and broke. With no other options, he takes a job teaching screenwriting at a small college on the East Coast. Although the idea of teaching is less than thrilling, he hopes to make some easy money and enjoy the favours of impressionable young co-eds. What he doesn’t expect to find is romance with a single mom who has gone back to school. Sat Sun Mon Tue Thu

Chomet’s first live-action feature is another delightful effort from the beloved French director of ‘Belleville Rendez-Vous’ and ‘The Illusionist’. Paul (Guillaume Gouix) is a 33-year-old piano virtuoso who has been living with his overprotective aunts (Bernadette Lafont and Hélène Vincent) since his parents were mysteriously killed when Paul was just two. Having not uttered a single word since that tragic incident, he lives a lonely life, playing the piano mostly for the amusement of his aunts and their friends. When he accidently stumbles into the apartment of a kooky woman named Madame Proust (Anne Le Ny), the two begin a journey to delve into Paul’s memories and make sense of his relationship with his deceased parents. Though Paul does not speak, this film is far more dialogue-heavy than the first two, and Chomet proves he has a keen sense for surreal comic dialogue. Another delightful effort from this beloved French director. (subtitles) France 2013 Sylvain Chomet 103m

Michelangelo Antonioni’s epic portrait of late Sixties America, as seen through the portrayal of two of its children. Antonioni ushered out the 1960s with this grandiloquently pictorial, allegorical attack on mainstream American lifestyle and politics. Mark Frechette plays the rebellious student (who’s wanted by the authorities for allegedly killing a policeman during a student riot) who steals a plane in LA and heads for Death Valley, and a union of sexual and mystic revelation with anthropology student Daria (who’s helping a property developer build a village in the Los Angeles desert). Antonioni’s beautiful handling of ‘Scope compositions and moods has many lingering aftereffects, and the grand and beautiful apocalyptic finale is downright spectacular and memorable.

The Wind Rises Kaze Tachinu Miyazaki’s swansong is a departure from recent Ghibli animations, a film aimed quite specifically at adult audiences and set during times of war and conflict. Essentially a semi-biographical work, the central character of Jiro is a composite of engineer Jiro Horikoshi and aeronautical designer Tatsuo Hori, a young man who dreams of creating a modern aeroplane which flies like a bird. The film takes us through a timeline of historical events - the Great Earthquake of 1923, the Depression and Japan’s TB epidemic and WWII in which Jiro’s creations will wreak such havoc. Critics have been in raptures over the animation, Miyazaki’s pastel palette and the transcendent spirituality. The final work from one of the world’s great masters of animation.

The Battles of Coronel & Falkland Islands To commemorate the centenary of the outbreak of WW1, the BFI National Archive has restored one of the finest films of the British silent era. The Battle of Coronel, off the coast of Chile, was a triumph for German Admiral von Spee – the first defeat of the British navy for a hundred years. The retaliatory strike saw ace British tactician Admiral Fisher send two battle cruisers, Invincible and Inflexible, to the South Atlantic to restore British supremacy. This is an astonishingly effective piece of filmmaking, which glories, like Eisenstein’s ‘Battleship Potemkin’, in the power and beauty of the machine. Scrupulously fair in its treatment of the enemy, filmed on real battleships supplied by the Admiralty, and originally released on Armistice Day to act as a memorial to the thousands who died.
