Calvary (15)
Every day in Mumbai, thousands of wives send home-cooked lunches to their husbands’ offices. One day the lunch destined for Rajeev accidentally ends up with Saajan (Khan, Life of Pi). When the remote Rajeev doesn’t even notice the mix-up, his wife Ila (Kaur) encloses a note of apology to its unknown recipient in the next day’s lunchbox – and thus begins a correspondence in this vibrant and delicately acted romance.
Based on Robyn Davidson’s bestselling account of her 1,700-mile camel trek across the Australian desert to the Indian Ocean in 1977, John Curran’s atmospheric film sees Mia Wasikowska give an outstanding performance, radiating singlemindedness mixed with vulnerability. The cruel beauty of the desert, and the fortitude of the people and creatures that manage to live within it, are also brilliantly evoked by ace cinematographer Mandy Walker (Lantana), often to almost dreamlike effect.
Shot in real time during a nocturnal drive along the M6, with no props and only a voice cast for support, Tom Hardy gives a spellbinding solo performance as mild-mannered Ivan Locke. When he receives a phone call that will change his life, he is forced to deal with a terrible dilemma. As pieces of the jigsaw are gradually revealed, the result becomes a gripping, ingenious psychological thriller.
Contains strong language and bloody images.

Bad Neighbours (15)
Director Hayao Miyazaki Japan 2013 127 mins Japanese with English subtitles
Director Nicholas Stoller Starring Seth Rogen, Zac Efron, Rose Byrne USA 2014 97 mins
Visionary director Miyazaki delivers his farewell masterpiece. Young Jiro Horikoshi dedicates his life to building flying machines. But with Japan’s entry into World War II, he begins to feel a terrible guilt because of the deaths his machines have caused. This profound and beautiful retelling of Horikoshi’s real-life story deftly combines Studio Ghibli’s mesmerising style with some difficult questions about love, humanity, creation and invention.
0871 902 5726 PicturehouseatFACT
Kelly (Byrne, Bridesmaids) and Mac (Rogen, Superbad, Knocked Up) discover that their new next-door neighbours are a raucous student fraternity. Bad Neighbours follows the couple’s desperate efforts to maintain a quiet life for themselves and their newborn baby. Needless to say, with the director, producers and writers of such gross-out comedies a The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Funny People and Get Him to the Greek behind the camera, they don’t stand much of a chance!

Director Gareth Edwards Starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Bryan Cranston, Elizabeth Olsen USA/Japan 2014 TBC mins
Director Hossein Amini Starring Kirsten Dunst, Viggo Mortensen, Oscar Isaac UK/USA/France 2014 96 mins
Frank Sidebottom aka Chris Sievey was a different kind of rock ’n’ roll genius, singing nasal songs from inside a giant papier-mâché head. Michael Fassbender’s superbly judged performance tells Frank’s offbeat, touching story.
The blockbuster season gets off to a colossal start with this reboot of 1954’s Gojira. Godzilla leaves its ocean home, creating a tsunami in its wake and wreaking devastation wherever it goes. Director Edwards gets the balance between narrative tease and CGI big reveal exactly right, and the result is genuinely thrilling: a dark, muscular epic in an entirely realistic present-day setting.
DRIVE screenwriter Amini superbly adapts Patricia Highsmith’s novel in his directorial debut. Sophisticated tourists Colette and Chester MacFarland (Dunst, Melancholia, and Mortensen, The Road) befriend a young chancer named Rydal (Isaac, Inside Llewyn Davis) in 1960s Greece. When Rydal sees Chester disposing of a dead mobster, things take the first of several sinister turns in this tense psychological thriller. Contains infrequent strong language, moderate violence and scenes of smoking.

From 30 May
Jimmy’s Hall (Cert TBC)
3D / 2D Director Bryan Singer Starring Patrick Stewart, Ellen Page, Hugh Jackman, Jennifer Lawrence USA 2014 TBC mins
In a scintillatingly imaginative adaptation of one of Marvel’s most popular storylines, the original X-Men unite with the stars of 2011’s prequel First Class to thwart the Sentinels – an army of mutant-killing robots. Kicking off with Wolverine (Jackman) going back in time to stop Mystique (Lawrence) from killing the Sentinels’ leader, thus averting a ruinous war, the sparky relationships between the older and younger characters - especially Stewart and McAvoy as the two Xaviers – add an entertaining dimension to the most visually thrilling X-Men episode yet.
Director Stacie Passon Starring Robin Weigert, Maggie Siff, Daniel London USA 2013 96 mins
A kind of feminised American Beauty, Concussion is a sexy, provocative story about a woman who turns her fantasy life into reality – and then faces the consequences. Bored, wealthy 40-something Abby (Weigert, Deadwood) becomes drawn into a double life as a high-class hooker for female clients. But as her decisions become increasingly reckless, we realise that she won’t be able to keep her secret for long.
Director Ken Loach Starring Barry Ward, Simone Kirby, Andrew Scott UK/Ireland 2014 TBC mins
The true story of social activist Jimmy Gralton’s mission to energise a rural community in 1930s Ireland by opening a dancehall is told by Ken Loach and writer Paul Laverty (Looking for Eric) with their trademark bittersweet vigour.

Crispin Hellion Glover’s Big Slide Show
Godzilla 1954
The Trip to Italy
(PG)
(Cert TBC)
plus It is Fine! Everything is Fine
Director Ishiro Honda Starring Takashi Shimura, Akira Takarada Japan 1954 96 mins Japanese with English subtitles
Crispin Hellion Glover’s Big Slide Show is a one-hour dramatic narration of his books accompanied by slides projected behind him. This will be followed by a screening of his film It is Fine! Everything is Fine.
The original version of the legendary Japanese apocalyptic monster movie with spectacular special effects, portraying the disastrous consequences of nuclear power and humankind’s tampering with the environment.
It is Fine! Everything is Fine goes into uncharted cinematic territory, with screenwriter Steven C. Stewart starring in a semi-autobiographical, psychosexual tale about a man with severe cerebral palsy and a fetish for girls with long hair. This is part horror film, part exploitation picture and part documentary of a man who cannot express his sexuality in the way he desires. This fantastical and often humorous tale is told completely from Stewart’s point of view.
“Seen afresh in this cut, this ballad of destruction reveals itself as one of the most exciting, enjoyable and moving of them all.”
Director Michael Winterbottom Starring Steve Coogan, Rob Brydon UK/Italy 2014 TBC mins
Reprising the formula of their hit BBC TV series The Trip, Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon travel the length of Italy reviewing restaurants for The Observer. While this nominally offers us endless high-end food porn, The Trip to Italy is of course a chance for its two stars to engage in constant, gently argumentative and inevitably hilarious banter. A total left-field comedy gem.
Time Out - Film of the Week
There will be a Q&A with Crispin Glover and a book-signing after the film. 0871 902 5737

Director George Stevens Starring Montgomery Clift, Elizabeth Taylor, Shelley Winters USA 1951 122 mins
Director Elia Kazan Starring Marlon Brando, Karl Malden USA 1954 103 mins
“What are you rebelling against?” “Whaddaya got?” Brando gives the quintessential ’50s rebel performance as the eponymous leatherjacketed motorcycle punk.
In Preminger’s faithful adaptation of Françoise Sagan’s provocative novel, a teenage libertine (Seberg) slyly plots to frighten off her playboy father’s stuffy fiancée.
A tale of switchblades, speeding cars and teen torment. James Dean is luminous as the troubled Jim, object of Natalie Wood’s affection and Sal Mineo’s adulation.
Vivien Leigh won an Oscar as fading Southern belle Blanche DuBois opposite Marlon Brando in this hothouse adaptation of the Tennessee Williams play.
A handsome boy takes a lowly job in his uncle’s factory. He starts a relationship with a coworker, but then falls for a glamorous socialite – with tragic results.
This portrait of union corruption and personal redemption stars Brando in one of his most iconic roles as the ex-prize fighter who “could have been a contender”.

After saving his employer from assassination, Mafia bodyguard Salvo tracks down the man responsible. But he then finds himself becoming strangely entangled with the man’s blind sister in this haunting, genrebending movie.
Director Morgan Neville Featuring Bruce Springsteen, Darlene Love, Merry Clayton, Mick Jagger USA 2013 91 mins
This Oscar-winning documentary salutes those unsung heroines of the music business, the backing singers. It combines fantastic performance footage with interviews with the women themselves – and the stars who rely on them. Contains infrequent strong language.
Dolan follows up last year’s Laurence Anyways with this dark Hitchcockian thriller. A young gay man attends his lover’s funeral, and is shocked to discover that the man’s family has no idea who he is or how he is connected to the deceased.
Contains strong language, moderate violence and threat.
British director Hogg (Archipelago) specialises in dissecting the middle-class psyche. Here she focuses on an artist couple whose decision to sell their elaborate London home provides a lens onto their complicated relationship.

Kids’ Club note: Parents may leave children over eight alone in screenings but should be aware that the cinema is not providing any official childcare. We do, however, take special precautions for Kids’ Club screenings to provide as safe an environment as possible for younger audiences. These include increased staffing and ensuring that customers over 18 are not admitted to the screening unless they are accompanying a child. If you leave your children in the cinema please be there on time to collect them at the end of the film.
