Welcome Welcome to our new look full colour brochure. We have changed the format to make it easier to find the films by week and have also increased its time length to cover an eight week period. This Spring sees us spoilt for great new releases and also some very special events. From the 18th April we will be presenting Happy-Go-Lucky, the new film by our patron Mike Leigh. On Tuesday 22nd April, Mike will be joining us for a Q&A as a fundraising event. Another great British director is also joining us for a Q&A this month; on Sunday 20th April Nicolas Roeg will be speaking after a double bill of his films. To continue this busy week, we’re presenting our first ever satellite link up to the New York Metropolitan Opera with a live broadcast of La Fille du Régiment on Saturday 26th April. Other highlights in this brochure include the release of the Oscar nominated French animation Persepolis.

Interestingly, this film was the French submission for the Academy Awards, chosen ahead of La Vie en Rose and The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. We hope you enjoy the new look to our programme and welcome your feedback.

Sunday 6 April DOUBLE BILL

Winter Light(PG) at 2pm

1hr 48, Italy 2007. Directed by Daniele Luchetti. With Elio Germano and Riccardo Scamarcio. English subtitles.

The contrasting lives of two brothers provide the narrative fuel for Daniele Luchetti’s finely honed portrait of Italian society in the turbulent sixties and seventies. The era was one of considerable disquiet, and this confusion plays out against the unsettled and convoluted relationship that evolves over the years between Manrico (Riccardo Scamarcio) and his younger brother, Accio (Elio Germano). Luchetti sketches a beautifully modulated tale of rivalry, love and political differences. Set in Latina, a town created by Mussolini out of the Pontine Marshes in the thirties, My Brother Is an Only Child revolves around a working-class family who find themselves confronting stark ideological and personal choices.

1hr 20. Sweden 1962. Written and directed by Ingmar Bergman. With Gunnar Björnstrand and Max von Sydow. English subtitles.

Björnstrand plays a rural pastor to dwindling congregations whose own faith is floundering. Throughout one working Sunday his sermons fail to give comfort to a man afraid of nuclear annihilation, a recently deceased widow or his much abused mistress. + Silent Light(15) at 4pm 2hrs 16. Mexico 2007. Directed by Carlos Reygadas. English subtitles.

Set amidst a Mennonite community in northern Mexico, the minimalist narrative focuses on the plight of Johan (Wall Fehr), a respected husband and father who breaks the rules of his society by embarking on an affair with another woman.

Inspired by primal, Neo-Biblical imagery and the work of Dreyer this

is a moving meditation on love and betrayal. Reygadas cast non-actors for their Kuleshov-like expressiveness and teased out performances of remarkable intensity. Opening and closing with a six-minute time-lapse photography sequence of a night sky turning to dawn and then to daybreak, this is a visual and spiritual tour de force and a true masterpiece in every sense of the term.

+ I’m A Cyborg, But That’s OK(15)

KID’S CLUB at 12 noon (activity at 11am)

at 4.30pm. 1hr 47. South Korea 2007.

Directed by Chan-wook Park.

English subtitles.

Young-goon (Lim Soo-jeong) is a cyborg, and needs an electrical current to survive. It therefore makes perfect sense to her to cut open her wrist and plug herself into the mains; to eschew food in favour of licking batteries; and to only befriend other machines. The world at large seems to find her behaviour odd, however, and duly confines her to a mental hospital. There, she strikes up a touching bond with Il-sun, who has an uncontrollable tendency to steal other people’s souls. A musical romance unlike any other from the director of Oldboy and Lady Vengeance, with extraordinary visual ideas wo of South Korea’s most revered pop culture icons.

The Golden Compass(PG) (1hr 54) Based on Phillip Pullman’s book Northern Lights, this film takes us into an alternate universe and on an epic journey with Lyra.

Sunday 13 April DOUBLE BILL

Lady Vengeance(18) at 2pm 1hr 55. South Korea 2006.

Directed by Chan-wook Park. English subtitles.

Geum-ja, or Lady Vengeance (Yeongae Lee), is a pale beauty who was wrongly imprisoned at 19 for the murder of a boy. Fourteen years later, she is released and wants to make the real killer pay. Chan-wook displays his talent for capturing subjective experience and the first half of the film is certainly full of narrative panache. It is the second half, however, that renders the film remarkable, as he offers a compelling contemplation of the spiritual price of violence.

Tuesday 15 April Twists Of Fate(15)

POLISH FILM FESTIVAL AT 6.30pm 1hr 40. Poland 2007. Directed by Jerzy Stuhr.

With Kamil Mackowiak, Karolina Gorczyca and Jan Frycz. English subtitles.

A story of two generations of Poles: students and their parents. They are not able to communicate with each other, there is an emotional gap between them and also a difference between their opinions on history and in their moral dilemmas. Bartek, a student making his living by writing master’s dissertations, comes into possession of a coat and a file left on a train by another passenger. When the phone in the coat’s pocket rings he doesn’t hesitate to answer it. From now on his life begins to change …

www.phoenixcinema.co.uk Sunday 20 April SPECIAL EVENT DOUBLE BILL + Q&A WITH NICOLAS ROEG

The Man Who Fell to Earth(18) at 1pm 2hr 20. Sweden 1962. Directed by Nicolas Roeg. With David Bowie One of Nicolas Roeg’s most elliptical, not to say intractable, films, in which he takes his cross-cutting, kaleidoscopic style to its furthest limits. A simple story by Walter Tevis, about a disorientated alien visitor (Bowie) trying to get back to his own planet, is transformed into a dense extravaganza – part road movie, part corporate thriller, part sci-fi fantasy. + Two Deaths(18) at 3.50pm 1hr 42. UK 1995. Directed by Nicolas Roeg. With Michael Gambon Set during a recent European revolution, when the students have just begun to rise, the film focuses on the unusual relationship between Dr. Pavenic and his housekeeper, Ana. In the midst of a night alive with the rattle of gunfire and burning buildings, the doctor tells the story of his obsession for his enigmatic housekeeper, to a dinner table of his guests. His shocking honesty eventually prompts each guest in turn, to disclose some inner corner of his own life.

Director Nicolas Roeg will be joining us for a Q&A following this screening.

1hr 58. UK 2008. Directed by Mike Leigh. With Sally Hawkins.

Poppy (Hawkins, winner of the Best Actress award at the Berlin Film Festival) is an irrepressible 30-something enjoying her life in Camden. Whether out on her bike, preparing lessons for her primary school class, or drinking with friends in the local, she keeps a smile on her face and a joke on her lips. She is happy with her life and determined to get the most out of every day. When her bicycle is stolen, she decides to invest in driving lessons, which will bring her face-to-face with a character and a world view quite unlike her own. Compared with Leigh’s previous works, this presents a calmer, more optimistic take on post-Blair Britain, where individualism and the pursuit of happiness define the lives of a generation, but where old-fashioned notions of community and selflessness still exist. Mike Leigh will be joining us for a Q&A following the 7.30pm screening on 22 April.

Persepolis(12A) at 4.15pm (not Sun), 6.30pm and 9pm 1hr 36, France 2007. Directed by Vincent Paronnaud and Marjane Satrapi.

An expressionistic animation stunningly drawn in black and white, the Academy Award nominated Persepolis is a touching coming-of-age story about an intelligent, outspoken girl growing up during the Iranian revolution. Paronnaud and Satrapi’s debut feature tells of how fundamentalists seized power, forced the veil on women and imprisoned thousands of dissidents. The film is based on Satrapi’s series of graphic novels and her childhood experiences in Iran, where she survived traumatic encounters with schoolteachers bent on denying her expression, policemen determined to deny her freedom and Iraqi bombs intended to take her life. Dedicated to the people of Iran, this is a moving, universally appealing story of one woman’s struggle against oppression that deservedly shared the jury prize at Cannes in 2007.

2hrs 3, USA 2007. Written and directed by John Sayles. With Danny Glover John Sayles continues his examination of the complexities and shifting identities of American sub-cultures. It’s 1950 and a make or break weekend for Tyrone Purvis (Danny Glover), the proprietor of the Honeydripper Lounge.

Deep in debt, Tyrone is desperate to bring back the crowds that used to come to his place. He decides to lay off his long-time blues singer Bertha Mae, and announces that he’s hired a famous guitar player, Guitar Sam, for a one night only gig in order to save the club.

Before Midnight – A Portrait of India on Film, 1899–1947(PG)

1hr 35, France/Lebanon 2007. Directed by Nadine Labaki. English subtitles.

Nadine Labaki’s charming debut, Caramel is centred around a Beirut beauty salon where we meet four women, each with their own unique problems. Layal has a relationship with a married man, Nisrine doesn’t want her fiancé to know she’s not a virgin, Rima finds herself drawn to a particular female client, and salon regular Jamale is worried about getting old … Beautifully photographed in golden tones and featuring excellent performances, Caramel paints a bittersweet portrait of a culture caught between the modern and the traditional.

1hr 20. India. English subtitles.

At the stroke of midnight on 14/15 August 1947 India finally achieved independence from Britain. Sixty years on, Before Midnight offers access to an unparalleled collection of films from the BFI National Archive exploring life in India during the early 20th century. Some of the most potent records are to be found in the home movies – many of which are being made publicly available for the first time. The Maharajah of Jodhpur’s home movies provide an epic portrait of princely power in the 1940s, whilst those of the Craster family offer an intimate picture of British family life. Featuring over 25 films and extracts the programme takes us on a journey from the Northwest Frontier to Lahore, Rajasthan to Darjeeling and beyond.

Before Midnight offers an unrivalled

portrait of how lives — both Indian and British — were led across the Subcontinent. For the full programme and titles, please visit our website.

+ Garage(18)

KID’S CLUB at 12 noon (activity at 11am)

1hr 25. Ireland 2007. Directed by Leonard Abrahamson. With Pat Shortt and Anne-Marie Duff.

Garage weaves tragedy with comedy to present a beautifully drawn tale from the margins of contemporary rural Irish life. Regarded by his neighbours as a harmless misfit, Josie (Shortt) has spent all his adult life as the caretaker of a crumbling petrol station. One summer his world suffers a shift when a teenager, David, comes to work with him.

Initially performing their menial tasks in silence, they tentatively open up, and suddenly Josie is drinking cans by the railway tracks with the local kids. This awakens dormant needs in Josie, leading to his awkward tilt at intimacy with shop girl Carmel (Duff ).

Tender though never sentimental, this tautly scripted, naturalistically photographed film withstands comparison to the work of the Dardenne brothers.

Sunday 25 May SUNDAY DOUBLE BILL Once(15) 1hr 27. Ireland 2006.

Directed by John Carney. With Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová.

On Grafton Street in Dublin, a careworn busker (Hansard) strikes up a friendship with a sparky young Czech immigrant (Irglová). He is nursing a broken heart and stalled ambitions; she is getting by on cleaning jobs and chutzpah. As their relationship evolves, Hansard’s gorgeous self-penned songs weave themselves into the narrative, where they fit so naturally that you hardly notice you are watching a musical.

Anchored by marvellous performances from musician Hansard and gifted pianist Irglová, this has a gutsy grace that is all its own. Once won the award for Best Song at this year’s Academy Awards.
