WELCOME
The New Park Cinema team send our best wishes to all for 2022. Let’s hope that we can all stay healthy, and safely enjoy what the cinematic world has to offer. We celebrate the introduction of 2022 by revealing an updated brochure design to mirror our exciting new website - which has been so warmly received. As the film Awards Season approaches, all the top filmmakers, producers and distributors jostle to get their best films released just at the right time to be in the best position for glory. Kenneth Branagh’s ‘Belfast’ will undoubtedly be topping award nominee lists, as will Almodóvar’s ‘Parallel Mothers’, and ‘The Tragedy of Macbeth’ to name but three. Look out also for some wonderful foreign cinema (do not miss ‘A Hero’); informative documentaries (‘Ailey’ and ‘The Story of Film’); some unmissable remasters (‘The 400 Blows’ and ‘Jules et Jim’); live Performance events (Bolshoi, NT Live and ROH); blockbusters (‘The Matrix Resurrections’, ‘The King’s Man’ and ‘Nightmare Alley’); and three illustrated film talks (‘Angelopoulos’, ‘Song & Dance in Film’ and ‘Montand/Signoret’).

C’MON C’MON
Joaquin Phoenix stars as a radio journalist embarking on a crosscountry trip with his young nephew after his estranged sister calls on him to help. Johnny (Joaquin Phoenix) and his young nephew (Woody Norman) forge a tenuous but transformational relationship when they are unexpectedly thrown together in this delicate and deeply moving story about the connections between adults and children, the past and the future, from writer-director Mike Mills. Phoenix ditches his familiar intensity for sympathy and charm as Johnny endures a short sharp lesson in the difficulties of parenting. Woody Norman as the young nephew Jesse is also a revelation. Robbie Ryan’s monochrome cinematography is lovely and Mills gets to the heart of the story in affecting and uplifting style. USA 2021 MIKE MILLS 108M

ENCOUNTER
Riz Ahmed plays a decorated marine and father trying to save his sons from an alien invasion that may or may not be real. Malik is a tough but troubled guy with military experience and access to military intelligence. He is galvanised by the top-secret material he has discovered – the truth about an alien invasion, which to his fury the US government has covered up. He has no choice but to rescue his two young sons from his ex-wife before it’s too late. There are elements of ‘Invasion of the Body Snatchers’ and ‘The Fly’ here as well as the doomed road trip in ‘Thelma and Louise’. Tremendous taught direction from Michael Pearce in this cleverly confounding thriller. It’s deceptively simple yet deeply philosophical stuff, channelled by first-rate genre filmmaking.

THE ELECTRICAL LIFE OF LOUIS WAIN
PERFORMANCE
Examining the inspiration for his famous cat drawings, the film is a whimsical, warm, captivating and entertaining biopic about the illustrator Louis Wain. The extraordinary true story of eccentric British artist Louis Wain (Benedict Cumberbatch), whose playful, sometimes even psychedelic pictures helped to transform the public’s perception of cats forever. We follow the incredible adventures of this inspiring, unsung hero, as he seeks to unlock the “electrical” mysteries of the world and, in so doing, to better understand his own life and the profound love he shared with his wife Emily Richardson (Claire Foy). Singular charm and heart-breaking tragedy achieve a lifeaffirming reconciliation while Benedict Cumberbatch gives one of his most memorable performances as a true English eccentric.

BEING THE RICARDOS
Nicole Kidman stars as Lucille Ball during a critical week when she was beset by personal and political smears. Aaron Sorkin is on writing and directing duties. ‘I Love Lucy’ was the most watched show in the United States in four of its six seasons. It starred Lucille Ball and her real-life husband Desi Arnaz. Sorkin’s film explores the controversy surrounding her membership of the Communist Party as well as her often unstable marriage to Desi. Kidman’s transformation is extraordinary, making her as unrecognisable as she was as Virginia Woolf in ‘The Hours’. Sorkin brings his customary snappy dialogue as well as the skilful direction exhibited in ‘Molly’s Game’ and ‘The Trial of the Chicago 7’. Javier Bardem is brilliant as Desi, while great support comes from J.K. Simmons and Nina Arianda. USA 2021 AARON SORKIN 125M

THE TRAGEDY OF MACBETH
Joel Coen takes on sole directing duties for what many critics are hailing as a masterpiece. Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand are the ambitious couple with murder in mind. Stark but utterly compelling, this chilling take on Macbeth is a visually stunning tour de force. Macbeth witnesses three witches foresee his future as a nobleman rising to take the throne of the kingdom. Lady Macbeth quickly hatches a murderous plot to hasten his ascension. Phenomenally dark and wicked and filmed in ghostly monochrome, this is theatrical and cinematic at the same time. The text is cut right back and Washington and McDormand find fresh spins on familiar phrases. Could McDormand scoop consecutive Oscars? On this form it would be no surprise. 5 stars – The Guardian.

THE KING’S MAN
In the early years of the 20th century, the Kingsman agency is formed to stand against a cabal plotting a war to wipe out millions. In this third instalment of the hugely entertaining Kingsman film series, we are in prequel territory where we witness the forming of the agency against the backdrop of World War I. The Kingsman franchise chronicles the history of an independent intelligence agency that takes on the jobs that government secret services are often too slow or too compromised to deal with. Led by Ralph Fiennes’s Duke of Oxford, the agency fights against the evil machinations of among others Rhys Ifans’s Rasputin. A tip-top cast includes Charles Dance, Tom Hollander, Gemma Arterton, Daniel Brühl and Matthew Goode. Expect gadgets, thrills and spills. 2021 UK/USA MATTHEW VAUGHN 131M

CLASSICS RESTORED & REISSUED
THE 400 BLOWS
LES QUATRE CENTS COUPS François Truffaut’s semi-autobiographical 1959 debut is one of the French New Wave’s most accessible and best-loved films. Jean-Pierre Léaud is Antoine, a tearaway kid perpetually in trouble both in school and at home: his difficult family circumstances are only revealed at the very end - a cool narrative coup. Antoine resolves to leave home and see life for himself, eventually ending up in reform school. The film looks superb and Antoine’s heartbreakingly open face is like Truffaut’s monochrome Paris: beautiful, tough, innocent and yet worldly. One of the great movies about childhood, you will never forget Léaud’s extraordinary central performance or the film’s remarkable coda. Perhaps Truffaut’s best film – it was also his first and what a startling and vigorous debut it is. (Subtitles) FRANCE 1959 FRANÇOIS TRUFFAUT 99M BOX OFFICE 01243 786 650 | 7

TOSCA
ROYAL OPERA HOUSE Set in Rome at the time of Napoleon’s invasion of Italy, Tosca is a roller coaster story of love, lust, murder and political intrigue. Three outstanding casts bring alive the excitement of one of the best loved operas in the repertory: Puccini’s Tosca. From the demonic chords with which it famously begins to the violent twist of its shock ending, the tension never lets up for a moment. Into the romantic world of an idealistic painter, Cavaradossi, and his sensuous lover Tosca comes the malevolence of Baron Scarpia, Chief of Police, with fatal results. Jonathan Kent’s taut and intense production with Paul Brown’s historically charged designs wonderfully evokes the dangerous atmosphere of Rome in 1800, where love and evil come – thrillingly – face to face. 180M INCLUDING 2 INTERVALS

THE HUMANS
Stephen Karam’s Tony-winning play makes the leap to film with ease, an extraordinarily well-acted, uncomfortably intimate look at a family on Thanksgiving Erik Blake has gathered three generations of his Pennsylvania family to celebrate Thanksgiving at his daughter’s apartment in lower Manhattan. As darkness falls outside and eerie things start to go bump in the night, the group’s deepest fears are laid bare. The piercingly funny and haunting debut film from writer-director Stephen Karam, adapted from his Tony Award-winning play, ‘The Humans’, explores the hidden dread of a family and the love that binds them together. The Guardian’s Benjamin Lee gave the film five stars and wrote, “The Humans is going to haunt me and it’s going to haunt you too.” USA 2021 STEPHEN KARAM 108M 10 | CHICHESTERCINEMA.ORG

When the girlfriend stumbles upon a bag of gold coins, the path to repaying his debts and freedom looks clear. However, events spiral when the coins are found to be a lot less valuable.

A dizzying single-take drama featuring a potent lead performance from Stephen Graham as a chef enduring a nightmarish evening. Andy’s business, like his life, is hanging by a thread. Like a sulky schoolkid, Andy has had to begin the evening by listening to a sorrowful lecture from a food inspector who is less than happy with the state of the hygiene and the dodgy bookkeeping. Andy knows that he has to keep the restaurant going through sheer chutzpah, fronting it out at all times. Crisis after crisis in the kitchen and dining area propel the evening towards its titular finale. The pace never flags and Graham delivers a colossal performance of utter sincerity.

Struggling to make a better life for his family, Korean adoptee Chon must confront the ghosts of his past when he discovers that he could be deported from the only country he has ever called home. Written and directed by Justin Chon, the film explores the consequences of a remorseless clause in the US’s immigration legislation. Antonio has been living in the country since babyhood, having been adopted by an American couple with a French surname. He has an American wife (Alicia Vikander) and stepdaughter, but he’s about to be caught up in the kind of red tape that entangles the lives of so many refugees and asylum. ‘Bayou’ is an angry film, lashing out at an ineffective, cruel immigration system that wrecks lives.

LIVE BOLSHOI Emeralds for the elegance and sophistication of Paris, rubies for the speed and modernity of New York, and diamonds for an imperial St. Petersburg. Three sparkling scenes accompanied by the music of three essential composers, feature the styles of the three dance schools that have contributed to making George Balanchine a legend of modern ballet. Emeralds is set to the music of Gabriel Fauré, Rubies to the music of Igor Stravinsky and Diamonds to music by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. This glamorous triptych was inspired by Balanchine’s visit to the famous jeweller Van Cleef & Arpels on New York’s Fifth Avenue, and created as an homage to the cities and dance schools of Paris, New York and St. Petersburg that made a vital impact on the revered choreographer’s career. 140M INCLUDING 2 INTERVALS BOX OFFICE 01243 786 650 | 13

Moehringer, J.R., a Long Island native, spends his childhood living alongside his loving grandmother, his grandfather who communicates largely through farting, and his uncle Charlie. Charlie owns a bar where the shelves are bursting with dusty, ragged books. We follow J.R.’s struggles in life and love as he strives to become a writer. Affleck is the film’s great revelation.

CYRANO
Convinced that his physical appearance makes him unworthy of his beloved Roxanne, the chivalrous Cyrano dares not express his ardour directly. The classic story gets a 21st century MGM musical-style update from director Joe Wright ‘Atonement’, ‘Hanna’ with Peter Dinklage as Cyrano. Unencumbered by the traditional huge nose, this Cyrano is stifled in his pursuit of Roxanne by his diminutive stature. Instead, he arms another suitor Christian with the poetry to woo Roxanne, The bargain is, “I will make you eloquent, while you make me handsome.” This version is embellished with lovely wistful ballads while Wright’s swooping cameras and beyond-dazzling production design bring new meaning to the word ‘panache’. This classic tale of a twisted courtship has never been in safer hands. UK/USA 2021 JOE WRIGHT 124M

The Thai master Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s English-language debut – about an expat attuned to strange frequencies in Colombia – more than matches his past mystic odysseys. Set in Colombia between 1970 and 1980, a period marked by the bitter fight between left-wing Farc guerillas and radical paramilitary groups of the right, the film features Tilda Swinton playing an expat adventurer from Scotland, who, while travelling in Colombia, begins to notice strange sounds. She experiences auditory hallucinations and tries to find the sources of the sounds causing her insomnia. Soon, she begins to confront the unsettling sights and sounds that call her identity into question. This is a feast of a sonic landscape pushing cinema’s boundaries and challenging audience expectations. (Some subtitles) COLOMBIA/THAILAND 2021 APICHATPONG WEERASETHAKUL 136M

RIGOLETTO
MET OPERA The Met presents a bold new take on Verdi’s timeless tragedy from Bartlett Sher. The Tony Award–winning director resets the opera’s action in 1920s Europe, with Art Deco sets by Michael Yeargan and elegant costumes by Catherine Zuber. The story, based on a controversial play by Victor Hugo, tells of an outsider, a hunchbacked jester, who struggles to balance the dual elements of beauty and evil that exist in his life. Written during the most fertile period of Verdi’s artistic life, the opera resonates with a Shakespearean universality. Baritone Quinn Kelsey, a commanding artist at the height of his powers, brings his searing portrayal of the title role to the Met for the first time, starring alongside soprano Rosa Feola as Gilda and tenor Piotr Beczała as the Duke of Mantua, with leading maestro Daniele Rustioni on the podium. 205M INCLUDING INTERVAL

LICORICE PIZZA
Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest film is a romance about a teenage boy wooing an older woman, starring two extraordinary newcomers and stuffed with fabulously hammy A-list cameos. A grinningly fast-talking 15-year-old boy meets a bored 25-yearold woman who works as assistant to a photographer taking pictures for the high-school yearbook. She is in equal parts amused, intrigued and depressed when this kid starts hitting on her, until she realises that she is somehow interested in him. Of course, the love between Gary and Alana, if love it is, does not run smooth. This is lighter and sunnier than previous Anderson pictures; subtract the porn and indeed the sex from ‘Boogie Nights’ and you have something like it; remove the metaphysical anxiety from ‘Inherent Vice’ and that comes reasonably close too.

BELFAST
‘Belfast’ is Kenneth Branagh’s irresistible memoir about growing up amid the troubles in Northern Ireland where he was born. It’s a heavy subject - Northern Ireland in the 1960s, as the conflict between the Protestants and the Catholics rises, leaving the region in tumult - but ‘Belfast’ is an inviting and even warm look at a family that is doing its best to hold together while their community fractures around them. Branagh tells his very personal story through the eyes of a young boy. When you’re that young, you don’t understand the politics of conflict. You just try to make the best of your childhood, and ‘Belfast’ comes alive with wonder and heart against a backdrop of rising hostilities amongst the grown-ups. Beautiful, heartfelt storytelling.

WEST SIDE STORY
Spielberg’s finest film in 20 years, and a new milestone in the career of one of our greatest living directors.” The Telegraph 5/5 stars. The classic musical gets the Spielberg treatment – fierce rivalries and ill-fated romance clash in steamy 50s New York. Spielberg was obsessed with the original cast soundtrack before the original film had been made, imagining the action and dancing that might accompany it. Finally, he translates daydreams into celluloid magic. The story - based on ‘Romeo and Juliet’ - focuses on teenagers Tony and Maria who fall in love despite having affiliations with street gangs, the Jets and Sharks, in 1950s New York.

PARALLEL MOTHERS
FOCUS ON FILM
MADRES PARALELAS Pedro Almodóvar’s boisterous, warm-bodied swapped-at-birth melodrama about two single women who meet in a maternity ward. Penelope Cruz stars as Janis, a 40-year-old photographer who is determined she will raise her daughter as a single mum, just as her mother and grandmother did before her. In the maternity ward she meets teenager Ana (Milena Smit), who is similarly intent on going it alone. The women become close; they are both in the same boat. Months later, a biological test will establish just how linked these two are. Almodóvar tackles the plot’s twists and turns with his customary energy and abandon, rustling up a robust celebration of female solidarity. Cruz is terrifically good value here in a ravishingly crafted piece of work that sees Almodóvar back in his comforting milieu. (Subtitles) SPAIN 2021 PEDRO ALMODÓVAR 123M

In 1959, Signoret and Montand arrived in the USA, not to make a film, but because Montand was embarking on a tour of North America as a singer, for which he was even more successful in France than as an actor. While they were there Signoret won an Oscar for ‘Room at the Top’ and Montand was cast as Marilyn Monroe’s love interest in ‘Let’s Make Love’. This talk, illustrated with clips from a range of films, will examine both their careers.

THE POWER OF THE DOG
Jane Campion’s long-awaited return to big-screen film is an unflinching western that ripples with prickly tension with Benedict Cumberbatch as a hard-bitten rancher. Cumberbatch and Jesse Plemons star as the Burbank brothers, Phil and George, who run a successful cattle ranch in the hills of Montana. The brothers are inseparable. However, Phil is outraged out of all proportion when George abruptly takes a wife (Kirstin Dunst). Phil is clearly a brutal and cruel man but beneath the sneer there is another side to him. Campion captures devastating moments of isolation, during which his façade begins to crack. It’s a brawny, brooding drama about the wreckage caused by men, reflected in Johnny Greenwood’s haunting and atmospheric score. Cumberbatch is a revelation, as is Kodi Smit-McPhee as George’s stepson. UK/AUSTRALIA 2021 JANE CAMPION 126M

TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD
This classic turns 60 in 2022! Atticus Finch, a widowed lawyer in Depression-era Alabama, defends a black man against an undeserved rape charge, and his children against prejudice. The crux of Harper Lee’s story surrounds Peck defending Brock Peters on a charge of rape, but alongside the examination of racism the film also manages to encompass the themes of childhood, poverty, love and an unsentimental look at the Deep South of the past that make the book so rich a tale. Overriding it all is the heart-warming mystery of local bogey man Boo Radley. Today, one wonders if a story like this could be told, or if the tide of political correctness and audience disinclination to appreciate anything with a downbeat resolution would force a change. (NB.

MUNICH: THE EDGE OF WAR
This adaptation of Robert Harris’s best-selling novel ‘Munich’ is set in the fall of 1938, as Hitler prepares to invade Czechoslovakia, and the government of Neville Chamberlain desperately seeks a peaceful solution. We first meet Hugh Legat (George MacKay from ‘1917’) and Paul Hartman (Jannis Niewöhner) in 1932 when they are carefree students at Oxford University. Six years later, the mood is grim: Adolf Hitler (Ulrich Matthes) is preparing to invade Czechoslovakia and Prime Minister Chamberlain (Jeremy Irons) is trying to find a peaceful solution. Hugh is now a civil servant, and has the ear of the PM, whilst Paul is a diplomat in Germany, and comes into possession of important documents that could help the British government. This is both a spy thriller set during the backdrop of one of the most crucial negotiations in recent history, and also a sweeping drama about two idealistic young men and their partners as the clock ticks down.

THE SOUVENIR: PART II
BFI Sight & Sound magazine’s best film of 2021! Drawing on a terrific performance from Honor Swinton Byrne, this is a story of profound emotional complexity and elegant storytelling. In the aftermath of her tumultuous relationship with a charismatic but manipulative older man, Julie begins to untangle her fraught love for him by making her graduation film and sorting fact from his elaborately constructed fiction. Joanna Hogg’s film – a sequel to 2019’s ‘The Souvenir’ (and completely watchable in its own right) - dances on the border between a making-of story and the film itself, and the line deliciously blurs. The whole experience leads us to contemplate and indulge in the magic art of cinema.

THE EYES OF TAMMY FAYE
This is an intimate look at the extraordinary rise, fall and redemption of televangelist Tammy Faye Bakker. In the 1970s and 80s, Tammy Faye and her husband, Jim Bakker, rose from humble beginnings to create the world’s largest religious broadcasting network and theme park, and were revered for their message of love, acceptance and prosperity. Financial improprieties, scheming rivals, and scandal toppled their carefully constructed empire. Firing up the Oscar race for Best Actress, a virtuoso Jessica Chastain captures Tammy’s brassy character caked in gaudy make-up and sporting trademark enormous eyelashes. This tale of innocence inexorably creeping towards corruption is captured with brilliant period detail. The camp rating is sky high and you will be captivated by Tammy’s naïve charm that hides a steely determination. CANADA/USA 2021 MICHAEL SHOWALTER 126M

KEEPING YOU SAFE
Here at Chichester Cinema at New Park, we follow the regulations as stipulated by the national Government, as well as the guidelines from the UK Cinema Association. This allows for the best possible experience when watching a film in our auditorium, while still keeping you as safe as possible. In line with recent Government announcements, and our ongoing procedures, please note the following: FACE COVERINGS ARE TO BE WORN AT ALL TIMES IN THE NEW PARK CENTRE, including the Auditorium. Please note that a visor is not considered to be a suitable face covering. Social Distancing in the auditorium has now ended – however we provide a selected number of socially Distanced screenings at various times of day. I t is worth noting that the air conditioning systems in both the Auditorium and the Studio draw in fresh air and have their own air supply (i.e. not shared). We ask all patrons to practise social distancing where possible whilst on the New Park Centre premises. A full Covid Clean of the auditorium takes place every day, as well as a clean of the main touchpoints in between every film screening. We encourage booking online via our website and contactless payment at the box office. Hand sanitiser is easily accessible at various points around the Centre.
