Meet Nancy: 34, single, hung-over, and exhausted by the endless futile set ups foisted upon her by well-meaning but clueless friends. So when 40 year old divorcee Jack mistakes her for his blind date, Nancy decides to just go with it…
Bill begins basic training in the early 1950s, during the Korean War and is joined by a trouble-making army mate, Percy. They never get near Korea, but engage in a constant battle of wits with the Catch-22-worthy, Sgt. Major Bradley - the brilliant David Thewlis. Richard E. Grant is their superior, the veddy, veddy, infinitely put-upon, aptly-named Major Cross. A wonderfully funny and often moving depiction of a still-recovering postwar England.

Sunday July 12th, 7:30pm
TNLC FILM OF THE MONTH
Set in the fictional Iranian ghost town of Bad City, it is steeped in the pop iconography of the past, yet its crystalline anamorphic black-and-white photography has an unmistakably contemporary edge. Cinematically, it exists in a twilight zone between nations, between centuries, between languages and, most importantly, between genres.
Looking for somewhere different for that special party, celebration or work ‘do’? Then why not enjoy the glamour of the big screen? See our website for our private hire prices and options.

OF HORSES AND MEN (15)

MY ACCOMPLICE (TBC)
Dir. Benedikt Erlingsson | 2014 | 85 mins
Dir. François Truffaut | 1959 | 97 mins
Dir. Charlie Weaver Rolfe | 2013 | 92 mins
Of Horses and Men, the darkly comic directorial debut of Icelandic actor, writer and stage director Benedikt Erlingsson, is formed of six interlocking fables of rural life. Each involves at least one horse and its human owner: two soulful beasts united against the blind cruelty of fate.
Antoine is a tearaway kid perpetually in trouble both in school and at home: his troubled family circumstances are only revealed at the very end - a cool narrative coup. The film looks superb and Antoine’s heartbreakingly open face is like Truffaut’s monochrome Paris: beautiful, tough, innocent and yet worldly.
An off-beat comedy about falling in love, set in Brighton, featuring songs and live performances from local bands. An ill-starred search for the village of Wivelsfield, the personal politics of perestroika in the wider context of David Hassel-hoff, apricot flapjacks and abruptly unpredictable weather.

Dir. Carol Reed | 1949 | 104 mins
Based on the Irish legend of the Selkies, Song of the Sea tells the story of the last seal-child, Saoirse, and her brother Ben, who go on an epic journey to save the world of magic and discover the secrets of their past. Pursued by the owl witch, Macha, and a host of ancient and mystical creatures, Saoirse and Ben race against time to awaken Saoirse’s powers and keep the spirit world from disappearing forever. As enthralling for adults as for children young and old, Song of the Sea is a wonder of magical storytelling and visual splendor that is destined to become a classic.
Set in postwar Vienna, Holly Martins, a writer of pulp Westerns, arrives as a guest of his childhood chum Harry Lime, only to find him dead. Martins develops a conspiracy theory after learning of a “third man” present at the time of Harry’s death, and falls head-over-heels for Harry’s griefstricken lover, Anna.

AMY (15) Dir. Asif Kapadia | 2015 | 123 mins From BAFTA award-winning director Asif Kapadia (Senna), AMY tells the incredible story of six-time Grammy-winner Amy Winehouse - in her own words. A once-in-a-generation talent and a pure jazz artist in the most authentic sense, Amy wrote and sung from the heart using her musical gifts to analyse her own problems. The combination of her raw honesty and supreme talent resulted in some of the most original and adored songs of the modern era. Her huge success, however, resulted in relentless and invasive media attention which coupled with Amy’s troubled relationships and precarious lifestyle saw her life tragically begin to unravel. Amy Winehouse died from alcohol poisoning in July 2011 at the age of 27. Friday August 28th, 7:30pm / Saturday August 29th, 7:30pm / Sunday August 30th, 7:30pm / Monday August 31st, 7:30pm
