Dir: JJ Abrams US 2019 155m
A heart-piercing portrait of childhood trauma and adult self-renewal, Honey Boy marks the auspicious screenwriting debut of Shia LaBeouf. Sensitively directed by Alma Har’el (Bombay Beach), who makes her fiction feature debut, the film, while not explicitly autobiographical, mirrors the life of its author in a myriad of ways, as it follows an actor’s struggle to come to terms with his experiences growing up with an abusive father. In a clever casting move, LaBeouf himself plays that father, with both menace and empathy. TIFF
Starring: Liya Ai, Jiang Du
Starring: Daisy Ridley, John Boyega
This acclaimed drama chronicles people and a society in transformation - in which human relationships and the tumultuous evolution of a nation are inevitably and inextricably intertwined. So Long, My Son traces the lives of two families over three decades of social, political and human upheaval in China. Following the loss of a child in a tragic accident, their paths separate. Destinies ebb and flow, and fortunes are transformed under the impact of a country’s changing face.

Dir: Fernando Meirelles UK/Italy 2019 126m
Starring: Mia Wasikowska, Damon Herriman
Dir: Kim Longinotto Ireland 2019 94m
Starring: Anthony Hopkins, Jonathan Pryce
In the rough town of Seaside, master puppeteers Judy and Punch perform their marionette show to flocks of villagers. The show is a hit thanks to Judy’s artistry but Punch’s ego and penchant for whisky lead to an unspeakable tragedy and Judy is left for dead in the woods. Taken in by a society of outcasts, she begins to plot her revenge. Mirrah Foulkes reimagines the Punch & Judy narrative with this astonishing, blackly comic feminist revenge drama.
Letizia Battaglia only became a photographer in her 30s. Italy’s first female photographer to work for a daily paper, the core of her work saw her document the devastating brutality of the Sicilian Mafia and its tragic and violent consequences despite living under constant threat from the Cosa Nostra. Kim Longinotto offers a daring documentary and an exclusive new perspective on a too-often romanticised slice of Italian history through Battaglia’s extraordinary life and career.
Directed by Brazil’s Oscar-nominated Fernando Meirelles (City of God) and starring two acting legends in Sir Anthony Hopkins and Jonathan Pryce, this insightful story ushers us behind gilded doors to watch the once and future Popes grapple with faith and religious leadership in a rapidly changing world. With its brilliantly detailed performances from Pryce and Hopkins, its cinematic flair, and surprising flourishes of humour, The Two Popes makes for a deeply rewarding experience. TIFF

A heart-piercing portrait of childhood trauma and adult self-renewal, Honey Boy marks the auspicious screenwriting debut of Shia LaBeouf. Sensitively directed by Alma Har’el (Bombay Beach), who makes her fiction feature debut, the film, while not explicitly autobiographical, mirrors the life of its author in a myriad of ways, as it follows an actor’s struggle to come to terms with his experiences growing up with an abusive father. In a clever casting move, LaBeouf himself plays that father, with both menace and empathy. TIFF

Starring: Daisy Ridley, John Boyega
This acclaimed drama chronicles people and a society in transformation - in which human relationships and the tumultuous evolution of a nation are inevitably and inextricably intertwined. So Long, My Son traces the lives of two families over three decades of social, political and human upheaval in China. Following the loss of a child in a tragic accident, their paths separate. Destinies ebb and flow, and fortunes are transformed under the impact of a country’s changing face.

Dir: Fernando Meirelles UK/Italy 2019 126m
Starring: Mia Wasikowska, Damon Herriman
Dir: Kim Longinotto Ireland 2019 94m
Starring: Anthony Hopkins, Jonathan Pryce
In the rough town of Seaside, master puppeteers Judy and Punch perform their marionette show to flocks of villagers. The show is a hit thanks to Judy’s artistry but Punch’s ego and penchant for whisky lead to an unspeakable tragedy and Judy is left for dead in the woods. Taken in by a society of outcasts, she begins to plot her revenge. Mirrah Foulkes reimagines the Punch & Judy narrative with this astonishing, blackly comic feminist revenge drama.
Letizia Battaglia only became a photographer in her 30s. Italy’s first female photographer to work for a daily paper, the core of her work saw her document the devastating brutality of the Sicilian Mafia and its tragic and violent consequences despite living under constant threat from the Cosa Nostra. Kim Longinotto offers a daring documentary and an exclusive new perspective on a too-often romanticised slice of Italian history through Battaglia’s extraordinary life and career.
Directed by Brazil’s Oscar-nominated Fernando Meirelles (City of God) and starring two acting legends in Sir Anthony Hopkins and Jonathan Pryce, this insightful story ushers us behind gilded doors to watch the once and future Popes grapple with faith and religious leadership in a rapidly changing world. With its brilliantly detailed performances from Pryce and Hopkins, its cinematic flair, and surprising flourishes of humour, The Two Popes makes for a deeply rewarding experience. TIFF

Dir: Wang Xiaoshuai China 2019 185m
Dir: JJ Abrams US 2019 155m
A heart-piercing portrait of childhood trauma and adult self-renewal, Honey Boy marks the auspicious screenwriting debut of Shia LaBeouf. Sensitively directed by Alma Har’el (Bombay Beach), who makes her fiction feature debut, the film, while not explicitly autobiographical, mirrors the life of its author in a myriad of ways, as it follows an actor’s struggle to come to terms with his experiences growing up with an abusive father. In a clever casting move, LaBeouf himself plays that father, with both menace and empathy. TIFF
Starring: Liya Ai, Jiang Du
Starring: Daisy Ridley, John Boyega
This acclaimed drama chronicles people and a society in transformation - in which human relationships and the tumultuous evolution of a nation are inevitably and inextricably intertwined. So Long, My Son traces the lives of two families over three decades of social, political and human upheaval in China. Following the loss of a child in a tragic accident, their paths separate. Destinies ebb and flow, and fortunes are transformed under the impact of a country’s changing face.

Dir: Fernando Meirelles UK/Italy 2019 126m
Starring: Mia Wasikowska, Damon Herriman
Dir: Kim Longinotto Ireland 2019 94m
Starring: Anthony Hopkins, Jonathan Pryce
In the rough town of Seaside, master puppeteers Judy and Punch perform their marionette show to flocks of villagers. The show is a hit thanks to Judy’s artistry but Punch’s ego and penchant for whisky lead to an unspeakable tragedy and Judy is left for dead in the woods. Taken in by a society of outcasts, she begins to plot her revenge. Mirrah Foulkes reimagines the Punch & Judy narrative with this astonishing, blackly comic feminist revenge drama.
Letizia Battaglia only became a photographer in her 30s. Italy’s first female photographer to work for a daily paper, the core of her work saw her document the devastating brutality of the Sicilian Mafia and its tragic and violent consequences despite living under constant threat from the Cosa Nostra. Kim Longinotto offers a daring documentary and an exclusive new perspective on a too-often romanticised slice of Italian history through Battaglia’s extraordinary life and career.
Directed by Brazil’s Oscar-nominated Fernando Meirelles (City of God) and starring two acting legends in Sir Anthony Hopkins and Jonathan Pryce, this insightful story ushers us behind gilded doors to watch the once and future Popes grapple with faith and religious leadership in a rapidly changing world. With its brilliantly detailed performances from Pryce and Hopkins, its cinematic flair, and surprising flourishes of humour, The Two Popes makes for a deeply rewarding experience. TIFF

Dir: Wang Xiaoshuai China 2019 185m
Dir: JJ Abrams US 2019 155m
A heart-piercing portrait of childhood trauma and adult self-renewal, Honey Boy marks the auspicious screenwriting debut of Shia LaBeouf. Sensitively directed by Alma Har’el (Bombay Beach), who makes her fiction feature debut, the film, while not explicitly autobiographical, mirrors the life of its author in a myriad of ways, as it follows an actor’s struggle to come to terms with his experiences growing up with an abusive father. In a clever casting move, LaBeouf himself plays that father, with both menace and empathy. TIFF
Starring: Liya Ai, Jiang Du
Starring: Daisy Ridley, John Boyega
This acclaimed drama chronicles people and a society in transformation - in which human relationships and the tumultuous evolution of a nation are inevitably and inextricably intertwined. So Long, My Son traces the lives of two families over three decades of social, political and human upheaval in China. Following the loss of a child in a tragic accident, their paths separate. Destinies ebb and flow, and fortunes are transformed under the impact of a country’s changing face.

Dir: Fernando Meirelles UK/Italy 2019 126m
Starring: Mia Wasikowska, Damon Herriman
Dir: Kim Longinotto Ireland 2019 94m
Starring: Anthony Hopkins, Jonathan Pryce
In the rough town of Seaside, master puppeteers Judy and Punch perform their marionette show to flocks of villagers. The show is a hit thanks to Judy’s artistry but Punch’s ego and penchant for whisky lead to an unspeakable tragedy and Judy is left for dead in the woods. Taken in by a society of outcasts, she begins to plot her revenge. Mirrah Foulkes reimagines the Punch & Judy narrative with this astonishing, blackly comic feminist revenge drama.
Letizia Battaglia only became a photographer in her 30s. Italy’s first female photographer to work for a daily paper, the core of her work saw her document the devastating brutality of the Sicilian Mafia and its tragic and violent consequences despite living under constant threat from the Cosa Nostra. Kim Longinotto offers a daring documentary and an exclusive new perspective on a too-often romanticised slice of Italian history through Battaglia’s extraordinary life and career.
Directed by Brazil’s Oscar-nominated Fernando Meirelles (City of God) and starring two acting legends in Sir Anthony Hopkins and Jonathan Pryce, this insightful story ushers us behind gilded doors to watch the once and future Popes grapple with faith and religious leadership in a rapidly changing world. With its brilliantly detailed performances from Pryce and Hopkins, its cinematic flair, and surprising flourishes of humour, The Two Popes makes for a deeply rewarding experience. TIFF

Starring: Shia LaBeouf, Lucas Hedges
Dir: Wang Xiaoshuai China 2019 185m
Dir: JJ Abrams US 2019 155m
A heart-piercing portrait of childhood trauma and adult self-renewal, Honey Boy marks the auspicious screenwriting debut of Shia LaBeouf. Sensitively directed by Alma Har’el (Bombay Beach), who makes her fiction feature debut, the film, while not explicitly autobiographical, mirrors the life of its author in a myriad of ways, as it follows an actor’s struggle to come to terms with his experiences growing up with an abusive father. In a clever casting move, LaBeouf himself plays that father, with both menace and empathy. TIFF
Starring: Liya Ai, Jiang Du
Starring: Daisy Ridley, John Boyega
This acclaimed drama chronicles people and a society in transformation - in which human relationships and the tumultuous evolution of a nation are inevitably and inextricably intertwined. So Long, My Son traces the lives of two families over three decades of social, political and human upheaval in China. Following the loss of a child in a tragic accident, their paths separate. Destinies ebb and flow, and fortunes are transformed under the impact of a country’s changing face.

Dir: Fernando Meirelles UK/Italy 2019 126m
Starring: Mia Wasikowska, Damon Herriman
Dir: Kim Longinotto Ireland 2019 94m
Starring: Anthony Hopkins, Jonathan Pryce
In the rough town of Seaside, master puppeteers Judy and Punch perform their marionette show to flocks of villagers. The show is a hit thanks to Judy’s artistry but Punch’s ego and penchant for whisky lead to an unspeakable tragedy and Judy is left for dead in the woods. Taken in by a society of outcasts, she begins to plot her revenge. Mirrah Foulkes reimagines the Punch & Judy narrative with this astonishing, blackly comic feminist revenge drama.
Letizia Battaglia only became a photographer in her 30s. Italy’s first female photographer to work for a daily paper, the core of her work saw her document the devastating brutality of the Sicilian Mafia and its tragic and violent consequences despite living under constant threat from the Cosa Nostra. Kim Longinotto offers a daring documentary and an exclusive new perspective on a too-often romanticised slice of Italian history through Battaglia’s extraordinary life and career.
Directed by Brazil’s Oscar-nominated Fernando Meirelles (City of God) and starring two acting legends in Sir Anthony Hopkins and Jonathan Pryce, this insightful story ushers us behind gilded doors to watch the once and future Popes grapple with faith and religious leadership in a rapidly changing world. With its brilliantly detailed performances from Pryce and Hopkins, its cinematic flair, and surprising flourishes of humour, The Two Popes makes for a deeply rewarding experience. TIFF

Starring: Shia LaBeouf, Lucas Hedges
Dir: Wang Xiaoshuai China 2019 185m
Dir: JJ Abrams US 2019 155m
A heart-piercing portrait of childhood trauma and adult self-renewal, Honey Boy marks the auspicious screenwriting debut of Shia LaBeouf. Sensitively directed by Alma Har’el (Bombay Beach), who makes her fiction feature debut, the film, while not explicitly autobiographical, mirrors the life of its author in a myriad of ways, as it follows an actor’s struggle to come to terms with his experiences growing up with an abusive father. In a clever casting move, LaBeouf himself plays that father, with both menace and empathy. TIFF
Starring: Liya Ai, Jiang Du
Starring: Daisy Ridley, John Boyega
This acclaimed drama chronicles people and a society in transformation - in which human relationships and the tumultuous evolution of a nation are inevitably and inextricably intertwined. So Long, My Son traces the lives of two families over three decades of social, political and human upheaval in China. Following the loss of a child in a tragic accident, their paths separate. Destinies ebb and flow, and fortunes are transformed under the impact of a country’s changing face.

Dir: Fernando Meirelles UK/Italy 2019 126m
Starring: Mia Wasikowska, Damon Herriman
Dir: Kim Longinotto Ireland 2019 94m
Starring: Anthony Hopkins, Jonathan Pryce
In the rough town of Seaside, master puppeteers Judy and Punch perform their marionette show to flocks of villagers. The show is a hit thanks to Judy’s artistry but Punch’s ego and penchant for whisky lead to an unspeakable tragedy and Judy is left for dead in the woods. Taken in by a society of outcasts, she begins to plot her revenge. Mirrah Foulkes reimagines the Punch & Judy narrative with this astonishing, blackly comic feminist revenge drama.
Letizia Battaglia only became a photographer in her 30s. Italy’s first female photographer to work for a daily paper, the core of her work saw her document the devastating brutality of the Sicilian Mafia and its tragic and violent consequences despite living under constant threat from the Cosa Nostra. Kim Longinotto offers a daring documentary and an exclusive new perspective on a too-often romanticised slice of Italian history through Battaglia’s extraordinary life and career.
Directed by Brazil’s Oscar-nominated Fernando Meirelles (City of God) and starring two acting legends in Sir Anthony Hopkins and Jonathan Pryce, this insightful story ushers us behind gilded doors to watch the once and future Popes grapple with faith and religious leadership in a rapidly changing world. With its brilliantly detailed performances from Pryce and Hopkins, its cinematic flair, and surprising flourishes of humour, The Two Popes makes for a deeply rewarding experience. TIFF

Starring: Shia LaBeouf, Lucas Hedges
Dir: Wang Xiaoshuai China 2019 185m
Dir: JJ Abrams US 2019 155m
A heart-piercing portrait of childhood trauma and adult self-renewal, Honey Boy marks the auspicious screenwriting debut of Shia LaBeouf. Sensitively directed by Alma Har’el (Bombay Beach), who makes her fiction feature debut, the film, while not explicitly autobiographical, mirrors the life of its author in a myriad of ways, as it follows an actor’s struggle to come to terms with his experiences growing up with an abusive father. In a clever casting move, LaBeouf himself plays that father, with both menace and empathy. TIFF
Starring: Liya Ai, Jiang Du
Starring: Daisy Ridley, John Boyega
This acclaimed drama chronicles people and a society in transformation - in which human relationships and the tumultuous evolution of a nation are inevitably and inextricably intertwined. So Long, My Son traces the lives of two families over three decades of social, political and human upheaval in China. Following the loss of a child in a tragic accident, their paths separate. Destinies ebb and flow, and fortunes are transformed under the impact of a country’s changing face.

Dir: Fernando Meirelles UK/Italy 2019 126m
Starring: Mia Wasikowska, Damon Herriman
Dir: Kim Longinotto Ireland 2019 94m
Starring: Anthony Hopkins, Jonathan Pryce
In the rough town of Seaside, master puppeteers Judy and Punch perform their marionette show to flocks of villagers. The show is a hit thanks to Judy’s artistry but Punch’s ego and penchant for whisky lead to an unspeakable tragedy and Judy is left for dead in the woods. Taken in by a society of outcasts, she begins to plot her revenge. Mirrah Foulkes reimagines the Punch & Judy narrative with this astonishing, blackly comic feminist revenge drama.
Letizia Battaglia only became a photographer in her 30s. Italy’s first female photographer to work for a daily paper, the core of her work saw her document the devastating brutality of the Sicilian Mafia and its tragic and violent consequences despite living under constant threat from the Cosa Nostra. Kim Longinotto offers a daring documentary and an exclusive new perspective on a too-often romanticised slice of Italian history through Battaglia’s extraordinary life and career.
Directed by Brazil’s Oscar-nominated Fernando Meirelles (City of God) and starring two acting legends in Sir Anthony Hopkins and Jonathan Pryce, this insightful story ushers us behind gilded doors to watch the once and future Popes grapple with faith and religious leadership in a rapidly changing world. With its brilliantly detailed performances from Pryce and Hopkins, its cinematic flair, and surprising flourishes of humour, The Two Popes makes for a deeply rewarding experience. TIFF

As a young woman growing up in the Paris suburb of Créteil, Neïla Salah dreamed of becoming a lawyer. Enrolled at the renowned Assas Law School in Paris, on her first day she runs up against Pierre Mazard, a professor known for his provocative behaviour and misconduct. To redeem himself, he agrees to prep Neïla for a prestigious public speaking contest. Cynical and demanding, Pierre might become the mentor she needs... But to do that, both of them will have to rise above their prejudices. Advised certificate: 15
The Mayor of Lyon, Paul Theraneau remains completely devoted to serving his city and his country but his knack for generating new ideas has evaporated. Enter low-key 30-year-old academic Alice Heimann who is hired for a nebulous job conjuring ideas at City Hall. Their interactions are our gateway into a lively, funny and touching exploration of the way we live now through the filter of two generations. Talky in the best possible way, this is a classy but accessible piece of entertainment which is also food for thought. Advised certificate: 15
France 2019 81m
Two decades after its filming, Olivier Meyrou’s controversial yet exquisitely drawn portrait of France’s last great fashion designer, Yves Saint Laurent, has finally seen the light of day, having previously been withheld from release by Saint Laurent’s business partner, Pierre Bergé. Meyrou goes behind-the-scenes to present both Yves the Legend and Yves the Man, as he prepares his final collection before the fashion house was sold to Gucci in 1999. Icons of the glamour industry show their unerring dedication to the fashion house and its namesake.
Lovers Marianne and Jean-Paul spend their vacation in a villa near St Tropez. The main feature of the villa is a swimming pool, around which revolves most of the action. After a visit, Marianne invites former lover Harry and his teenage daughter Penelope to stay. Tension between the grown-ups rises especially when Jean-Paul seduces Penelope. The consequences are deadly in a game of sexual jealousy and possessiveness. Newly restored.
As a juror at Jacques Viguier’s trial, Nora is convinced that he did not kill his wife. This intuition quickly becomes an obsession. She persuades the most famous lawyer in the country to defend him. Together they start a compulsive quest to prove his innocence against all odds. That quest has a price they might not be ready to pay. Raimbault has crafted a nail-biter of a courthouse thriller whose story is based on the real murder trial of Jacques Viguier. Advised certificate: 15

TEENAGE FLICKS (90m)
12 NEW COURSE
From 1950s Beach Movies to more serious outpourings such as Rebel without a Cause, the teen or troubled adolescent has long since played a key role in modern cinematic offerings. Whether within the context of coming of age productions like The Breakfast Club or Stand by Me or presented within the confines of other genres like comedy, thriller or horror, young adults and their narratives have proved to be controversial and highly popular box office fodder. With plenty of film clips and discussion, including studies of movies like Heathers, Super Dark Times, Ghost World, Ladybird, Juno and Virgin Suicides, everyone will relate to this honest examination of that joyously painful, pimple-faced period in our lives where you can be earnest, awkward, beautiful and ridiculous all at the same time. “When you grow up your heart dies” Tutor: Andrew Graves 10 weeks Tuesday evenings commencing TUE 14 JAN, 7PM-8.30PM Price: £70/£50 memb & conc/ £35 under 25

As a young woman growing up in the Paris suburb of Créteil, Neïla Salah dreamed of becoming a lawyer. Enrolled at the renowned Assas Law School in Paris, on her first day she runs up against Pierre Mazard, a professor known for his provocative behaviour and misconduct. To redeem himself, he agrees to prep Neïla for a prestigious public speaking contest. Cynical and demanding, Pierre might become the mentor she needs... But to do that, both of them will have to rise above their prejudices. Advised certificate: 15
The Mayor of Lyon, Paul Theraneau remains completely devoted to serving his city and his country but his knack for generating new ideas has evaporated. Enter low-key 30-year-old academic Alice Heimann who is hired for a nebulous job conjuring ideas at City Hall. Their interactions are our gateway into a lively, funny and touching exploration of the way we live now through the filter of two generations. Talky in the best possible way, this is a classy but accessible piece of entertainment which is also food for thought. Advised certificate: 15
France 2019 81m
Two decades after its filming, Olivier Meyrou’s controversial yet exquisitely drawn portrait of France’s last great fashion designer, Yves Saint Laurent, has finally seen the light of day, having previously been withheld from release by Saint Laurent’s business partner, Pierre Bergé. Meyrou goes behind-the-scenes to present both Yves the Legend and Yves the Man, as he prepares his final collection before the fashion house was sold to Gucci in 1999. Icons of the glamour industry show their unerring dedication to the fashion house and its namesake.
Lovers Marianne and Jean-Paul spend their vacation in a villa near St Tropez. The main feature of the villa is a swimming pool, around which revolves most of the action. After a visit, Marianne invites former lover Harry and his teenage daughter Penelope to stay. Tension between the grown-ups rises especially when Jean-Paul seduces Penelope. The consequences are deadly in a game of sexual jealousy and possessiveness. Newly restored.
As a juror at Jacques Viguier’s trial, Nora is convinced that he did not kill his wife. This intuition quickly becomes an obsession. She persuades the most famous lawyer in the country to defend him. Together they start a compulsive quest to prove his innocence against all odds. That quest has a price they might not be ready to pay. Raimbault has crafted a nail-biter of a courthouse thriller whose story is based on the real murder trial of Jacques Viguier. Advised certificate: 15

PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE (15) 122m With English Subtitles
“Nicolas Pariser delivers a very clever and quirky political comedy, with brilliant performances from Fabrice Luchini and Anaïs Demoustier.” Cineuropa
Summer, 1998. Kabul, Afghanistan’s capital, is ruled by the Taliban. The love of a young couple flourishes—indoors and out of sight. Although the streets are rife with violence and suffering, they do not lose hope for a better future. However, an unforeseen accident causes their lives to take an irreversible turn. Zabou Breitman and Eléa Gobbé-Mevellec employed a special watercolor technique to create this mesmerizing animated film. Jerusalem Film Festival
Advised certificate: 15 “Effective animated drama about two couples struggling under the cruelty of Taliban rule.” Screen International
“Superbly controlled psychological thriller.” The Guardian
“It’s a priceless addition to our understanding of how Yves Saint Laurent - the man, the myth, la marque – operated.” The Hollywood Reporter
“First-rate drama that both sticks to the facts and makes them thrilling to watch.” The Hollywood Reporter
Dir: Céline Sciamma France 2019 119m Starring: Adèle Haenel, Noémie Merlant

Héloïse is a reluctant bride-to-be and Marianne must paint her without her knowing. She observes her by day and secretly paints her at night. Intimacy and attraction grow between the two women as they share Héloïse’s first and last moments of freedom, all whilst Marianne paints the portrait that will end it all.

From 1950s Beach Movies to more serious outpourings such as Rebel without a Cause, the teen or troubled adolescent has long since played a key role in modern cinematic offerings. Whether within the context of coming of age productions like The Breakfast Club or Stand by Me or presented within the confines of other genres like comedy, thriller or horror, young adults and their narratives have proved to be controversial and highly popular box office fodder. With plenty of film clips and discussion, including studies of movies like Heathers, Super Dark Times, Ghost World, Ladybird, Juno and Virgin Suicides, everyone will relate to this honest examination of that joyously painful, pimple-faced period in our lives where you can be earnest, awkward, beautiful and ridiculous all at the same time. “When you grow up your heart dies” Tutor: Andrew Graves 10 weeks Tuesday evenings commencing TUE 14 JAN, 7PM-8.30PM Price: £70/£50 memb & conc/ £35 under 25

Two decades after its filming, Olivier Meyrou’s controversial yet exquisitely drawn portrait of France’s last great fashion designer, Yves Saint Laurent, has finally seen the light of day, having previously been withheld from release by Saint Laurent’s business partner, Pierre Bergé.

Icons of the glamour industry show their unerring dedication to the fashion house and its namesake.

The consequences are deadly in a game of sexual jealousy and possessiveness. Newly restored.

As a young woman growing up in the Paris suburb of Créteil, Neïla Salah dreamed of becoming a lawyer. Enrolled at the renowned Assas Law School in Paris, on her first day she runs up against Pierre Mazard, a professor known for his provocative behaviour and misconduct. To redeem himself, he agrees to prep Neïla for a prestigious public speaking contest. Cynical and demanding, Pierre might become the mentor she needs... But to do that, both of them will have to rise above their prejudices. Advised certificate: 15
The Mayor of Lyon, Paul Theraneau remains completely devoted to serving his city and his country but his knack for generating new ideas has evaporated. Enter low-key 30-year-old academic Alice Heimann who is hired for a nebulous job conjuring ideas at City Hall. Their interactions are our gateway into a lively, funny and touching exploration of the way we live now through the filter of two generations. Talky in the best possible way, this is a classy but accessible piece of entertainment which is also food for thought. Advised certificate: 15
France 2019 81m
Two decades after its filming, Olivier Meyrou’s controversial yet exquisitely drawn portrait of France’s last great fashion designer, Yves Saint Laurent, has finally seen the light of day, having previously been withheld from release by Saint Laurent’s business partner, Pierre Bergé. Meyrou goes behind-the-scenes to present both Yves the Legend and Yves the Man, as he prepares his final collection before the fashion house was sold to Gucci in 1999. Icons of the glamour industry show their unerring dedication to the fashion house and its namesake.
Lovers Marianne and Jean-Paul spend their vacation in a villa near St Tropez. The main feature of the villa is a swimming pool, around which revolves most of the action. After a visit, Marianne invites former lover Harry and his teenage daughter Penelope to stay. Tension between the grown-ups rises especially when Jean-Paul seduces Penelope. The consequences are deadly in a game of sexual jealousy and possessiveness. Newly restored.
As a juror at Jacques Viguier’s trial, Nora is convinced that he did not kill his wife. This intuition quickly becomes an obsession. She persuades the most famous lawyer in the country to defend him. Together they start a compulsive quest to prove his innocence against all odds. That quest has a price they might not be ready to pay. Raimbault has crafted a nail-biter of a courthouse thriller whose story is based on the real murder trial of Jacques Viguier. Advised certificate: 15

From 1950s Beach Movies to more serious outpourings such as Rebel without a Cause, the teen or troubled adolescent has long since played a key role in modern cinematic offerings. Whether within the context of coming of age productions like The Breakfast Club or Stand by Me or presented within the confines of other genres like comedy, thriller or horror, young adults and their narratives have proved to be controversial and highly popular box office fodder. With plenty of film clips and discussion, including studies of movies like Heathers, Super Dark Times, Ghost World, Ladybird, Juno and Virgin Suicides, everyone will relate to this honest examination of that joyously painful, pimple-faced period in our lives where you can be earnest, awkward, beautiful and ridiculous all at the same time. “When you grow up your heart dies” Tutor: Andrew Graves 10 weeks Tuesday evenings commencing TUE 14 JAN, 7PM-8.30PM Price: £70/£50 memb & conc/ £35 under 25

Icons of the glamour industry show their unerring dedication to the fashion house and its namesake.

The consequences are deadly in a game of sexual jealousy and possessiveness. Newly restored.

From 1950s Beach Movies to more serious outpourings such as Rebel without a Cause, the teen or troubled adolescent has long since played a key role in modern cinematic offerings. Whether within the context of coming of age productions like The Breakfast Club or Stand by Me or presented within the confines of other genres like comedy, thriller or horror, young adults and their narratives have proved to be controversial and highly popular box office fodder. With plenty of film clips and discussion, including studies of movies like Heathers, Super Dark Times, Ghost World, Ladybird, Juno and Virgin Suicides, everyone will relate to this honest examination of that joyously painful, pimple-faced period in our lives where you can be earnest, awkward, beautiful and ridiculous all at the same time. “When you grow up your heart dies” Tutor: Andrew Graves 10 weeks Tuesday evenings commencing TUE 14 JAN, 7PM-8.30PM Price: £70/£50 memb & conc/ £35 under 25

With plenty of film clips and discussion, including studies of movies like Heathers, Super Dark Times, Ghost World, Ladybird, Juno and Virgin Suicides, everyone will relate to this honest examination of that joyously painful, pimple-faced period in our lives where you can be earnest, awkward, beautiful and ridiculous all at the same time. “When you grow up your heart dies” Tutor: Andrew Graves 10 weeks Tuesday evenings commencing TUE 14 JAN, 7PM-8.30PM Price: £70/£50 memb & conc/ £35 under 25
