AIR

From award-winning director Ben Affleck, ‘Air’ follows the history of shoe salesman Sonny Vaccaro, and how he led Nike in its pursuit of the greatest athlete in the history of basketball: Michael Jordan.

‘Air’ reveals the unbelievable game-changing partnership between a then-rookie Michael Jordan and Nike’s fledgling basketball division which revolutionized the world of sports and contemporary culture with the Air Jordan brand. This moving story follows the career-defining gamble of an unconventional team with everything on the line, the uncompromising vision of a mother who knows the worth of her son’s immense talent and the basketball phenomenon who would become the greatest of all time. This is a great sports film, and has received a 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes critics’ website.

In a provincial Iranian town, the children work hard to support their families. One day nine-year-old Yahya and his friend Leyla find a precious statue.

The premise is that the great Iranian director Asghar Farhadi, having boycotted the 2017 Oscars in protest at Donald Trump’s anti-Muslim travel ban, cannot be there in person to pick up his Oscar for ‘The Salesman’. But the producer bringing it to Iran for him manages to lose it after a chaotic mishap involving a taxi and a careless postman. The awestruck kids attempt to return it to its owner. There is something of a free-spirited innocence here, and the film is reminiscent of British classics such as ‘Local Hero’ or ‘Whisky Galore’. A story of magic being found in the most unlikely of places. (Subtitles)

INTERNATIONAL PANORAMA: DENMARK GODLAND VANSKABTE LAND

At the end of the 19th century, a young Danish priest is sent to a remote part of Iceland. The deeper he travels into the Icelandic landscape, the more he loses a sense of his own reality, his mission and his sense of duty.

The struggle between the strictures of religion and our own brute animal nature plays out amid the beautifully forbidding landscapes of remote Iceland in this stunning psychological epic from director Hlynur Pálmason. In the late 19th century, Danish priest Lucas (Elliott Crosset Hove) makes the perilous trek to Iceland’s south-eastern coast with the intention of establishing a church. There, the arrogant man of God finds his resolve tested as he confronts the harsh terrain, temptations of the flesh, and the reality of being an intruder in an unforgiving land. Absolutely breathtaking cinematography captures the unassuming beauty of Iceland. (Subtitles)

With this exhibition we can introduce a new generation to Vermeer’s paintings...” Taco Dibbits, Director of the Rijksmuseum.

THE GIRL WITH A PEARL EARRING

To accompany our Vermeer Exhibition on Screen, we are delighted to offer a chance to see the visually stunning adaptation of Tracy Chevalier’s bestseller.

When her father goes blind, Griet (Scarlett Johansson) must go to work as a maid for painter Johannes Vermeer (Colin Firth). While cleaning the house, Griet strikes up an unlikely friendship with Vermeer, which both agree to keep secret for fear of provoking the painter’s jealous wife, Catharina (Essie Davis). When wealthy patron Van Ruijven (Tom Wilkinson) begins to lust after Griet, and commissions a painting of her, Vermeer and Griet are obliged to spend long hours alone together. So ambitious, and intriguing, and beautiful, you will find yourself immobile in front of its canvas, drinking in the details.

THREE COLOURS TRILOGY

Help us celebrate the 30th anniversary of one of the greatest film trilogies of all time – Krzysztof Kieslowski’s ‘Three Colours Trilogy’. This cinematic masterpiece which has been given a 4K restoration, explores the themes of liberty, equality, and fraternity through a series of interrelated stories. Each film, ‘Blue’, ‘White’, and ‘Red’, represents a colour of the French flag and delves into the complexities of human relationships and emotions.

We begin the ’Three Colours Trilogy’ with ‘Blue’, Juliette Binoche’s haunting study of grief.

After living through a tragic car crash that claimed the life of her composer husband and young daughter, her initial reaction is to withdraw from her relationships, lock herself in her apartment and suppress her pain. But avoiding human interactions on the bustling streets of Paris proves impossible, and she eventually meets up with Olivier (Benoît Régent), an old friend who harbours a secret love for her, and who could draw her back to reality. ‘Blue’ is a movie that engages the mind, challenges the senses, implores a resolution, and tells, with aesthetic grace and formal elegance, a good story and a political allegory.

THREE COLOURS WHITE

TROIS COULEURS: BLANC

Perhaps the most overlooked of Kieslowski’s seminal trilogy, this bleak but ultimately hopeful comedy is arguably the most accessible.

Polish immigrant Karol Karol (Zbigniew Zamachowski) finds himself out of a marriage, a job and a country when his French wife, Dominique (Julie Delpy), divorces him after six months due to his impotence. Forced to leave France after losing the business they jointly owned, Karol enlists fellow Polish expatriate to smuggle him back to their homeland. After successfully returning, Karol begins to build his new life, while never forgetting his old one. It’s often cruel, of course, and cool as an ice-pick, but it’s still endowed with enough unsentimental humanity to end with a touching, lyrical admission of the power of love. Essential viewing.

THE COW WHO SANG A SONG INTO THE FUTURE

LA VACA QUE CANTÓ UNA CANCIÓN HACIA EL FUTURO

When thousands of fish die in a polluted river in southern Chile, Magdalena, a woman long-deceased, emerges amongst their lifeless bodies. A hauntingly beautiful Chilean fable.

Magdalena encounters her widowed husband, sending him into a state of shock and prompting the return of their daughter, Cecilia. Magdalena’s presence and her effect on the environment stirs curiosity and fear among her family. As the past comes into focus, mother and daughter are met with the opportunity to change the future. Thankfully, Francisca Alegría’s feature debut manages to be enduringly moving and hopeful instead of angry and pessimistic. This is a languidly paced art films, but it’s a rare treat to watch a film that’s deliberate, enigmatic, and easy to recommend. Even if you’re not sure what’s happening, Alegria’s film never loses your focus. (Subtitles)

RAGING BULL

Returning to cinemas in a brand new 4K restoration, Scorsese’s searing masterpiece centres around De Niro’s portrayal of a brutal sportsman.

With this stunningly visceral portrait of self-destructive machismo, Martin Scorsese created one of the truly great and visionary works of modern cinema. Robert De Niro pours his blood, sweat and brute physicality into the Oscar-winning role of Jake La Motta, the rising middleweight boxer from the Bronx whose furious ambition propels him to success within the ring but whose unbridled paranoia and jealousy tatter his relationships with everyone in his orbit, including his brother and manager (Joe Pesci) and his gorgeous, streetwise wife (Cathy Moriarty). Michael Chapman’s extraordinarily tactile black-and-white cinematography, and Frank Warner’s ingenious sound design combine to make ‘Raging Bull’ a uniquely powerful exploration of violence on multiple levels – physical, emotional, psychic and spiritual.

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND ALLELUJAH

Starring Judi Dench, Jennifer Saunders and Derek Jacobi in this charming adaptation of Alan Bennett’s play about old age. When the geriatric ward in a small Yorkshire hospital is threatened with closure, the hospital decides to fight back by galvanizing the local community: they invite a news crew to film their preparations for a concert in honour of the hospital’s most distinguished nurse. What could go wrong? A warmhearted film that goes to show how devoted health care workers are and how hard they work. Alongside this is a true homage to senior citizens. How delightful, quirky and funny seniors can be. Here we get all kinds of varieties of seniors – the grumps, the uptight, the angry, the gregarious. Showing that they are just like all other age categories, the only difference is they are older.

A complex, stirring and beautifully realized portrait of interconnected lives, ‘Red’ is the captivating conclusion to a remarkable trilogy.

Krzysztof Kieślowski closes his ‘Three Colours’ trilogy in grand fashion, with an incandescent meditation on fate and chance, starring Irène Jacob as a sweet-souled yet sombre runway model in Geneva whose life dramatically intersects with that of a bitter retired judge, played by Jean-Louis Trintignant. Meanwhile, just down the street, a seemingly unrelated story of jealousy and betrayal unfolds. If ‘Blue’ was steeped in melancholy and ‘White’ appeared frosty in tone, ‘Red’ positively vibrates with a ruddy passion. It is an intimate look at forged connections and a splendid final statement from a remarkable filmmaker at the height of his powers. (Subtitles)

THE UNLIKELY PILGRIMAGE OF HAROLD FRY

Harold Fry is an ordinary man who has passed through life, living on the sidelines, until he goes to post a letter one day... and just keeps walking. Jim Broadbent and Penelope Wilton star. Harold (Broadbent) discovers that a former friend and colleague of twenty years ago, Queenie Hennessy, has cancer and is in a hospice in Berwick-upon-Tweed. The doctors say there is nothing to be done for her. Instead of posting his feeble letter of condolence, Harold instead embarks on a 600-mile walk from Devon to Berwickupon-Tweed, believing that in some way his journey will help his friend to live. “Tell her I’m going to keep walking and she must keep living,” he says to the operator before embarking on his journey. Without maps or waterproofs and only yachting shoes on his feet, he walks and walks, while his wife Maureen (Wilton) waits at home; at first angered by what she perceives as abandonment but eventually his distance allows her emotions to resurface. Remembering her husband as he once was and everything he once meant to her. On his journey he reflects on his life, nature and the humanity of the people he meets. Based on the 2013 Booker long-listed novel by Rachel Joyce, this is sentimental but not cloying and will no doubt have you rummaging for your tissues.

SICK OF MYSELF

SYK PIKE

A biting indictment of contemporary absorption, and the sacrifices we make in the name of self-interest, ‘Sick of Myself’ is bitterly hilarious.

Signe and Thomas are in an unhealthy, competitive relationship that takes a vicious turn when Thomas suddenly breaks through as a contemporary artist. In response, Signe makes a desperate attempt to regain her status by creating a new persona hellbent on attracting attention and sympathy. It’s a deranged and delightfully cynical work of art that proves attention-seeking for the sake of fame always comes at a much higher cost than living in the shadows of other people’s success. The blackest of black comedies, there are moments so cringe-inducing you will curl up so far inside yourself you might implode. (Subtitles)

INTERNATIONAL PANORAMA: FRANCE ONE FINE MORNING UN BEAU MATIN

Mia Hansen-Løve returns to Paris with this powerful story of a single mother torn between emotionally unavailable men. Léa Seydoux plays Sandra, a single mum, apparently widowed for many years, who speaks fluent English and German and works as an interpreter. Sandra has shut down emotionally because of her loss and devotion to her ailing elderly father, a former philosophy professor. While trying to find a care home for him she embarks on an adulterous affair with an old friend, and becomes trapped between two emotionally unavailable men. The story is engaging, the characters are compelling and the performances are convincing. A deeply profound and emotional tale that doesn’t try to do too much – and is all the more powerful for it.

CONSPIRACY

WALAD MIN AL JANNA

The election of a grand imam is the backdrop for this tense drama of innocence and corruption set at an esteemed Islamic university. Adam, a young man from a remote Egyptian province, receives the glad news that he’s won a scholarship to Al-Azhar University. He is soon under the spell of Colonel Ibrahim who is fixing the new imam’s election. Soon a friend is dead and Adam is betraying his fellow students and helping Ibrahim blackmail his teachers. In this cutthroat environment, Adam looks more and more like a lamb headed to slaughter. It is an engrossing tale, full of betrayal and chicanery, and it casts the Egyptian political-military complex and the religious hierarchy as riddled with corruption. (Subtitles)

A smart, funny and heart-warming new rom-com set over the course of one day in south London.

Yas (Vivian Oparah) and Dom (David Jonsson), two twentysomethings both reeling from bad break-ups, connect over the course of an eventful day in South London – helping each other deal with their nightmare exes, and potentially restoring their faith in romance. This is a joyously breezy and entertaining watch, with striking visuals and richly charismatic performances from relative newcomers. The rom-com has lapsed into such an anaemic state that ‘Rye Lane’ feels like a miracle. Here is an entry into the genre that does not surrender to thinkpiece-ready neuroticism. Instead, it leaves you with a smile on your face and a spring in your step.

Based on Alexandre Dumas’s 1844 literary masterpiece, we follow the heroic D’Artagnan who joins the three loyal musketeer friends, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, in a plot to overthrow an evil royal advisor. Featuring Vincent Cassel and Eva Green.

D’Artagnan (François Civil), a spirited young Gascon, is left for dead after trying to save a young woman from being kidnapped. When he arrives in Paris, he tries by all means to find his attackers. He is unaware that his quest will lead him to the heart of a real war where the future of France is at stake. Allied with Athos (Cassel), Porthos (Pio Marmaï) and Aramis (Roman Duris), three musketeers of the King with a dangerous temerity, D’Artagnan faces the dark machinations of the Cardinal of Richelieu. But it is when he falls madly in love with Constance Bonacieux, the Queen’s confidante, that d’Artagnan truly puts himself in danger. For it is this passion that leads him into the wake of the one who becomes his mortal enemy: Milady de Winter (Eva Green). A visually arresting adaptation. (Subtitles)

INTERNATIONAL PANORAMA: FRANCE PACIFICTION

Benoît Magimel’s French high commissioner confronts the end of his personal Eden in Tahiti, in Albert Serra’s distinctive film. Serra’s epic is narratively sparse and visually vast, filled with political paranoia and an apocalyptic despair. M. de Roller, the French high commissioner, strolls around with raffish entitlement in his rumpled white suit. His somewhat broad perception of his role brings him to navigate the high-end ‘establishment’ as well as shady venues where he mingles with the locals. Especially since a persistent rumour has been going around: the sighting of a submarine whose ghostly presence could herald the return of French nuclear testing. Think John le Carré by way of David Lynch – a feverish and haunting but also wry and meditative rumination on power, secrecy and the colour of clouds over water at sunset. (Subtitles)

Tony Award–winning director of Broadway’s ‘A View from the Bridge’ and ‘West Side Story’, Ivo van Hove makes a major Met debut with a new take on Mozart’s tragicomedy, resetting the familiar tale of deceit and damnation in an abstract architectural landscape and shining a light into the dark corners of the story and its characters. Maestro Nathalie Stutzmann makes her Met debut conducting a star-studded cast led by baritone Peter Mattei as a magnetic Don Giovanni, alongside the Leporello of bass-baritone Adam Plachetka. This is the second of Mozart’s three operatic masterpieces being screened in Chichester monthly from April to June.

Based on a shocking true story, ‘La Syndicaliste’ is a nail-biting cat-and-mouse thriller set in a world of whistleblowing, corporate skulduggery and relentless misogyny. ‘La Syndicaliste’ is the true story of Maureen Kearney (Isabelle Huppert) – head trade union representative of a French multinational nuclear powerhouse turned whistleblower by denouncing top-secret deals that shook the sector. Kearney’s life is suddenly turned upside down when she is violently assaulted in her own house, which leads to an investigation that shifts her position from victim to suspect. From acclaimed writer/director Jean-Paul Salomé and based on the book by Caroline Michel-Aguirre.

BEAU IS AFRAID

A paranoid man embarks on an epic odyssey to get home to his mother in this bold and ingenious new film from writer/director Ari Aster (‘Midsommer’).

Growing up in a small town with his mother and younger sister, Beau (Joaquin Phoenix) is haunted by a traumatic event from his past. His anxiety worsens when his mother starts dating a new man, and Beau becomes convinced that this man is dangerous. As Beau’s fears spiral out of control, he must confront his past and find a way to overcome his anxiety in order to protect his family. The film transforms out of the mundanity of reality and into a fantastical world of surrealism, all the while exploring the power of human connection.

INTERNATIONAL PANORAMA: FRANCE FULL TIME À PLEIN TEMPS

A breathlessly tense portrait of modern labour, this French drama stars Laure Calamy as a single mother who hits her breaking point during a nationwide strike.

Single mother Julie (César award-winning actress Laure Calamy) works a gruelling job as a head chambermaid in a five-star Parisian hotel. Julie’s daily balance of commuting from her remote suburb into Paris, tenuous childcare and search for a new job to get her out of debt, becomes unmanageable during a paralyzing transport strike in Paris. Laure Calamy gives a one-woman show performance as she is front and centre for nearly every frame of the film. This relentless, heart-in-your-throat, ticking-clock thriller about precarious single-motherhood could not be more timely or more intimate. As real, and as recognizably stressful, as the genre gets.

IL TROVATORE

THE ROYAL OPERA

Adele Thomas’s energetic staging sets Verdi’s tale in a Hieronymus Bosch-inspired universe of medieval superstition. On the podium, Antonio Pappano conducts Verdi’s dramatic score, in the last event of this outstanding 2022/2023 season from the Royal Opera House.

Passions run high as Manrico and the Count di Luna compete for the affections of Leonora. Little do they know, Manrico’s mother Azucena has been keeping a terrible secret for decades. Soon a curse from the past will rise up from the ashes with devastating implications for them all. The dramatic score features the famous ‘Anvil Chorus.’ Cast: TBC (Leonora), Yusif Eyvazov (Manrico), Ludovic Tézier (Count di Luna), Jamie Barton (Azucena), Roberto Tagliavini (Ferrando). Sung in Italian with English subtitles.

BOOKING REF

When ‘Fleabag’ was first released in 2019 it was a smash hit and rapidly became the highest grossing UK Event Cinema title of all time. It recently won ‘Event Cinema Release of the Decade’, so we are delighted to give audiences across the country another chance to watch Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s iconic one-woman show. Written and performed by Phoebe Waller-Bridge and directed by Vicky Jones, ‘Fleabag’ is a rip-roaring look at some sort of woman living her sort of life. Fleabag may seem oversexed, emotionally unfiltered and self-obsessed, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. With family and friendships under strain and a guinea pig café struggling to keep afloat, Fleabag suddenly finds herself with nothing to lose. Playing to sold-out audiences in New York and London, don’t miss your chance to see this “legitimately hilarious show” (New Yorker).
