Looper

USA 2012 Dir: Rian Johnson 1hr 58mins With: Emily Blunt, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Willis

In a futuristic gangland in the year 2047, a 25 yearold killer named Joseph Simmons (Gordon-Levitt) works for a mafia company in Kansas City as a “Looper”. Loopers kill and dispose of agents sent by their employers from corporate headquarters in Shanghai from the year 2077. They are foot soldiers, paid on terms that all targets must never escape.

“A fashionably sleek, smart science-fiction film” DA I LY T E L E G R A P H When Simmons recognizes his target as a future version of himself (Willis), his older self escapes after incapacitating him.

The resulting failure of his job causes his employers to come after him, forcing him to fight for his life as he hunts his older self. Clever sci-fi drama from the director of Brick and The Brothers Bloom.

Calvin (Dano) is a young novelist struggling with writer’s block.

He had written a successful novel at age 19, but has been unable to write anything of equal quality in the ten years since. His therapist, Dr. Rosenthal, gives him a writing assignment: to write a page about someone who likes his dog, Scotty. That night, Calvin has a dream in which he meets an attractive young woman. She draws a picture of Scotty and says she likes him. Calvin wakes up. Inspired by the young woman he writes several pages about her and decides to make the woman, named Ruby Sparks (Kazan) the protagonist of his next novel. When Calvin finds Ruby, in the flesh, sitting on his couch about a week later, he is completely flabbergasted that his words have turned into a living, breathing person.

Amour

France 2012 Dir: Michael Haneke 2hrs 7mins subtitles With: Jean Louis Trintignant, Emmanuelle Riva, Isabelle Huppert

Austrian auteur Michael Haneke (Hidden, The White Ribbon) returns with this masterful, heartbreaking new film about a marriage tested by the onset of illness. Elderly couple Georges (Trintignant) and Anne (Riva), retired music teachers, live a contented life enjoying one another’s company in Paris, dividing their time between reading, playing music and concerts in the evenings. But when Anne suffers a stroke, Georges must learn to care for her in an entirely new way, calling on their daughter Eva (Huppert) to help him cope with a wife and mother almost entirely transformed by illness. Winner of this year’s Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival, this exquisite, beautifully acted film is an absolute must-see for fans of Haneke and newcomers to his devastating film making style.

Silver Linings Playbook (15) USA 2012 Dir: David O.Russell 2hrs 2mins With: Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, Robert De Niro, Chris Tucker, Jacki Weaver

Life doesn’t always go according to plan. Pat Solatano (Cooper) has lost everything — his house, his job, and his wife. He now finds himself living back with his mother (Weaver) and father (DeNiro) after spending eight months in a state institution on a plea bargain. Pat is determined to rebuild his life, remain positive and reunite with his wife, despite the challenging circumstances of their separation. All Pat’s parents want is for him to get back on his feet-and to share their family’s obsession with the Philadelphia Eagles football team. When Pat meets Tiffany (Lawrence), a mysterious girl with problems of her own, things get complicated. Tiffany offers to help Pat reconnect with his wife, but only if he’ll do something very important for her in return. As their deal plays out, an unexpected bond begins to form between them, and silver linings appear in both of their lives.

Beasts of the Southern Wild (12A) USA 2012 Dir: Ben Zeitlin 1hr 32mins With: Quvenzhané Wallis, Dwight Henry, Lowell Landes

Hushpuppy is a 6-year-old girl living on her wits in the Bathtub, a remote southern delta community surviving in ramshackle abodes, cut off from everywhere else by an expansive levée. Her mother has long deserted her, and her father Wink spends his time drinking to forget their impoverished circumstances. With a fierce storm raging and Wink falling ill, Hushpuppy has to face the prospect of the Bathtub disappearing under rising water and the pre-historic creatures that have been unleashed from melted ice-caps charging across the planet. Winning the award for Best Debut Feature at this year’s BFI London Film Festival, the film features remarkable performances from a cast of non-actors, offering a distinctive vision of life on the edge of the world.

Con man Harry Dean (Firth) plans to steal a painting from one of the world’s richest men. However he is missing one final component - the participation of a beautiful woman to act as his ‘gambit’. In Nicole (Diaz), he meets someone who appears to be the perfect candidate, but Harry himself becomes enraptured with her, causing his plan to take a series of wrong turns. Based on the 1966 classic with Michael Caine and Shirley Maclaine, this hilarious comedy assembles a stellar international cast and is scripted by award-winning duo, Joel and Ethan Coen.

Great Expectations (12A) UK 2012 Dir: Mike Newell 2hrs 8mins With: Helena Bonham-Carter, Ralph Fiennes, Jeremy Irvine, Holliday Grainger, Sally Hawkins

The story of Pip, the young, wideeyed orphan living with his abusive sister and her longsuffering husband, Joe the blacksmith, has captivated readers since its publication.

Wandering the eerie moors one day, Pip (Irvine) meets and befriends the desperate escaped convict Magwitch (Fiennes), little knowing how this encounter will shape the course of his life.

Summoned to the mysterious house of Miss Havisham (Bonham Carter), Pip falls under the spell of the beautiful Estella (Grainger) before suddenly learning he has been bestowed with an annuity by an anonymous benefactor.

As Pip moves to London, where he’ll become a gentleman and leave his humble roots behind, his voyage becomes an unsentimental education a classic tale of yearning to be someone else, crossed with a tale of unrequited love for an unreachable woman. Directed by Mike Newell (Four Weddings & A Funeral/Harry Potter & The Goblet of Fire), the film is an illustrious addition to Dickens’ works.

Rust & Bone

France 2012 Dir: Jacques Audiard 2hrs subtitles With: Marion Cotillard, Matthias Schoenaerts, Armand Verdure

Winning the Best Film Award at this year’s BFI London Film Festival, Rust & Bone further strengthens French director Jacques Audiard (A Prophet) as one of Europe’s most compelling storytellers in this moving and poetic film.

Ali (Schoenaerts) is an impoverished bareknuckle fighter seeking a home for himself and his five-year-old son Sam. Stephanie (Cotillard) trains killer whales in the local aqua park. Set in Antibes, their two lives are dramatically fused together after a horrific work accident leaves Stephanie mutilated and forced to reinvent her life. Her spirit broken, Stephanie is looking for hope and reaches out to Ali. Through him she gradually finds the courage to go on living through moments spent together. Cotillard is mesmerising in arguably her most challenging role yet, while Schoenaerts impresses mightily as a man with precious little pity, suddenly forced to look for his hidden resources.

Life of Pi (PG) USA 2012 Dir: Ang Lee 2hrs With: Suraj Sharma, Irrfan Khan, Gerard Depardieu, Rafe Spall

Faithfully adapted from Yann Martel’s Man Booker Prize-winning bestseller, Life of Pi is an imaginative and brilliantly realised film. Piscine Molitor “Pi” Patel (Sharma) is an Indian boy from Pondicherry. A zookeeper’s son, he and his family embark on a long ship crossing to Canada aboard a freighter, accompanied by some of his father’s animals. Following a storm at sea, Pi finds himself set adrift and forced to survive a 227-day journey in a life-boat with the only other survivor, a fearsome Bengal tiger – who ultimately becomes a cherished companion. Long considered an un-filmable book, Life of Pi takes place over three continents, two oceans and many years. Fantastical, suspenseful and breathtakingly beautiful, Life of Pi is a classic that, can be savoured by audiences of all ages.

Quartet (cert tbc) UK/USA 2012 Dir: Dustin Hoffman 1hr 30mins With: Maggie Smith, Tom Courtenay, Billy Connolly, Pauline Collins

Lifelong friends Wilf (Connolly) and Reggie (Courtenay), together with former colleague Cissy (Collins), are residents of Beecham House, a home for retired opera singers. Every year on Giuseppe Verdi’s birthday, the residents unite to give a concert to raise funds for their home. But when Jean Horton (Smith), a former grande dame of the opera fallen on hard times, also Reggie’s ex-wife and the fourth and most celebrated member of their former quartet, moves into the home to everyone’s surprise, the plans for this year’s concert start to unravel. As old grudges threaten to undermine past glories and theatrical temperaments play havoc with the rehearsal schedule, it becomes apparent that having four of the finest singers in English operatic history under one roof offers no guarantee that the show will go on. Based on Ronald Harwood’s stage play of the same name, Quartet is a wickedly comic film about redefining old age and growing old with hope; demonstrating how art illuminates life and the human spirit remains undimmed even as the brightest stars start to fade.

Directed by Tom Hooper (The King’s Speech) and based on the hit West End musical, Les Miserables is one of the most anticipated films of the year. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century France, Les Miserables tells an enthralling story of broken dreams and unrequited love, passion, sacrifice and redemption; a timeless testament to the survival of the human spirit. Jackman plays ex-prisoner Jean Valjean, hunted for decades by the ruthless policeman Javert (Crowe) after he breaks parole.

When Valjean agrees to care for factory worker Fantine’s (Hathaway) young daughter, Cosette, their lives change forever.

Sightseers

Meet Tina and Chris, the Midlands’ answer to Bonnie and Clyde. Keen to share his love for the UK’s tourist hotspots with his new girlfriend, Chris whisks Tina away on a romantic caravaning holiday. But when Chris casually murders a litterbug at the Crich Tramway Village, his intolerance for mild antisocial behaviour becomes dangerously apparent. Initially confused, Tina quickly opts to stand by her man, joining him on a murder spree, offing anyone who threatens to sully their humble utopia. An unforgettable British comedy, Sightseers serves bloodshed with belly laughs in equal measure. Aided by a sharp, witty script, this is a dark love story with an edge that proves that Britain still possesses clout in producing charmingly sinister black comedies.

Midnight’s Children is an epic film from Oscar-nominated director Deepa Mehta, based on the Booker Prize winning novel by Salman Rushdie. At the stroke of midnight on August 15, 1947, as India proclaims independence from Great Britain, two newborn babies are switched by a nurse in a Bombay hospital. Saleem Sinai, the illegitimate son of a poor woman, and Shiva, the offspring of a wealthy couple, are fated to live the destiny meant for each other. Their lives become mysteriously intertwined and are inextricably linked to India‘s whirlwind journey of triumphs and disasters. From the unlikely romance of Saleem’s grandparents to the birth of his own son, Midnight’s Children is a journey at once sweeping in scope and yet intimate in tone. Hopeful, comic and magical – the film conjures images and characters as rich and unforgettable as India herself.
