HELLO A great privilege of seeing films before the critics is that you can view without prejudice, and have the joy of being rocked back on your heels by something rich and strange, special or unexpected. A number of such films have caught me off guard this season. Whiplash is a beautifully economical tale of drive and ambition set in the world of big band jazz but having more in common with a sports movie. Its cast is lesser known, its director unknown but the on-screen alchemy and directorial zip is exhilarating. Eddie Redmayne has built a solid reputation as a promising young actor but nothing prepared me for the phenomenal physical performance he delivers as Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything, a feast of wit and wisdom with a superb ensemble cast. The future is under scrutiny this season, with Christopher Nolan’s majestic Interstellar kicking off the New Year, followed by a new print of one of its greatest influences, Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. Alex Garland’s (28 Days Later) first film as director, Ex Machina, explores the interface between man and machine with Alicia Vikander (cf Testament of Youth) and the equally ubiquitous Domhnall Gleeson. For those with more exotic tastes, the front runner for Best Foreign Language Oscar, Leviathan scythes into contemporary Russian life, Wong Kar Wai’s exquisite and graceful martial arts mentor movie The Grandmaster celebrates Chinese New Year and we welcome the return of Louis Malle’s intensely moving tale of France under occupation, Au Revoir Les Enfants. Enjoy!

Interstellar 12a
Interste
Fri 2 – Mon 5 Jan Dir: Christopher Nolan US / UK 2014 166mins Cast: Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain It’s the near future, and dwindling resources have turned Earth into a giant dustbowl as scientists look to outer space to save the human race. After being selected by NASA for the team tasked with finding a new hospitable planet, former astronaut turned farmer Cooper (McConaughey) leaves behind daughter Murph to join a team of scientists to the farthest reaches of the universe. Christopher Nolan’s ambitious sci-fi epic combines aweinspiring visuals with a scientific and emotional intellect worthy of Stanley Kubrick. See the digital reissue of Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey on Sat 17 & Sun 18 Jan (see p07).

Men, Women & Children 15 Fri 2 – Sun 4 & Wed 7 Jan Dir: Jason Reitman US 2014 119mins Cast: Jennifer Garner, Adam Sandler, Ansel Englort Directed by Jason Reitman (Juno, Up in the Air), Men, Women & Children follows the story of a group of high school teenagers and their parents as they attempt to navigate the many ways the internet has changed their relationships, the ways they communicate, and their self-image. As each character and each relationship is tested, it becomes clear that no one is immune to this enormous social change. A witty and wise look at a very modern issue.

Leviathan 15 Leviafan
Tue 6 & Thu 8 Jan Dir: Andrey Zvyagintsev Russia 2014 140mins subtitled Cast: Elena Lyadova, Vladimir Vdovichenkov, Roman Madyanov
The Oscar-nominated Kon-Tiki tells the true story of Norwegian adventurer Thor Heyerdahl’s quest to prove early South Americans were the first to discover Polynesia. In 1947 Heyerdahl and his team set sail from Peru across the Pacific Ocean on a homemade balsawood raft named after the Incan sun god, Kon-Tiki. Throughout the 4000 mile journey, the crew must not only survive the elements and omnipresent sharks, but also the raft’s weakening structure.
Andrey Zvyagintsev (The Return) brings us a damning portrait of the abuses of power in the current Kremlin administration, thinly veiled as a reworking of the great trial of Job in provincial Russia.
“PART HISTORY LESSON, PART CLASSIC ADVENTURE TALE AND OFTEN STUNNING TO WATCH.” Toronto Star
“ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. NOT JUST MASTERFUL BUT HUGELY IMPORTANT.”
Surprisingly subversive, Leviathan is Russia’s official entry for next year’s foreign language film Oscar. Excellently reviewed by all except those whom it criticizes, Leviathan has already won Best Screenplay at Cannes.

Jacques Tati’s follow up to Mon Oncle was (at the time) the most expensive film in French history and sees M. Hulot in an ultra-modern Paris filled with tourists.
The perennial paranormal favourite is 30 years old and there’s no better time to introduce the kids in your life to the ghostbusting antics of Venkman (Bill Murray), Stantz (Dan Aykroyd), Spengler (Harold Ramis) and Zeddmore (Ernie Hudson).
Set against an impressive backdrop of steel and glass are Tati’s trademark visual gags as well as a multitude of running jokes. “A PECULIAR, MYSTERIOUS, MAGICAL FILM.” Roger Ebert 04
Magic
When spirits and beasts from the underworld start appearing in Manhattan, a trio of parapsychology professors decide to set up a ghost removal service.
The Homesman 15 Wed 7 & Thu 8 Jan Dir: Tommy Lee Jones France/USA 2014 122mins Cast: Tommy Lee Jones, Hilary Swank, Grace Gummer Educated but unmarried ranch owner Mary Bee Cuddy has led a lonely life on the frontiers of Nebraska. When three frontierswomen are deemed insane and must be sent back East, none of the men in the village are prepared to help, so Cuddy courageously volunteers to take them on the six-week trip to Ohio. Tommy Lee Jones plays George Briggs, who inadvertently becomes their ‘homesman’, a trustworthy and strong man to accompany the women in their journey. “A HUMANE AND WRENCHING WESTERN BUILT AROUND WOMEN’S EXPERIENCE OF FRONTIER LIFE.” The Telegraph The Homesman

St. Vincent
A young boy whose parents have just divorced finds an unlikely friend and mentor in the misanthropic, bawdy, hedonistic war veteran who lives next door. This unexpected friendship is saved from schmaltz by excellent performances from its all-star cast, which includes Bill Murray, Melissa McCarthy, Naomi Watts and Chris O’Dowd. The film deservedly received a People’s Choice Award at the Toronto International Film Festival – an entertaining and thoughtful comedy. 05
Mr Turner 12a Sat 10 & Sun 11 Jan Dir: Mike Leigh UK 2014 150mins Cast: Timothy Spall, Marion Bailey, Dorothy Atkinson Another chance to see the Mike Leigh’s celebrated film of the latter years of the life of British artist JMW Turner. It has already garnered accolades and a Cannes Film Festival Best Actor award for Timothy Spall in the title role. Spall fully embodies his role as the cantankerous artist, with a grunting, gruffly emotional performance as a man who is at once the talk of the artistic world, but also set apart – a man who sees the world differently.

Abandoned at Paddington station, he struggles to adjust to the big city until he is rescued by Mr Brown (Bonneville).

Tony Benn: Will & Testament 12a Thu 15 Jan 6.15pm Dir: Skip Kite UK 2014 93mins Tony Benn, the longest serving Labour MP in history was also, arguably, the most popular UK politician of all time. Across the globe and in particular over the last five years his brand of socialism has struck a chord with people of all ages and social backgrounds. For the first time ever through intimate, quasi confessional interviews and his personal, photographic and film archive, Will & Testament reveals a very human face behind the political mask.
Big Eyes TBC Fri 16 – Wed 21 Jan Dir: Tim Burton US 2014 106mins Cast: Amy Adams, Christoph Waltz, Krysten Ritter Tim Burton leaves the world of fantasy, but not his visual flair, behind when he tackles the true-life story of artist Margaret Keane, his most human film since Ed Wood. Amy Adams is Margaret, a divorcee with a bold artistic talent for creating ethereal images of children with large, dark eyes. She meets Walter (Waltz), who takes an interest in her and her work, and they are soon married. But as her paintings begin to garner interest, Walter begins taking credit for his wife’s work, and thus begins Margaret’s struggle to reclaim her identity.
2001: A Space Odyssey U Sat 17 & Sun 18 Jan Dir: Stanley Kubrick US/UK 1968 135mins Cast: Keir Dullea, Gary Lockwood, William Sylvester The ground-breaking sci-fi spectacular has been reissued so now you can see it in its full jawdropping glory.

John Du Pont (an outstanding Carrell, with prosthetic nose), a wealthy man, has one passion: wrestling. Determined to restore America’s wrestling team to its former glory, he recruits Mark and Dave Schultz, and installs them in a state of the arts facilities on his Foxcatcher estate. But du Pont’s increasing paranoia and alienation propels the trio towards a shocking tragedy.
Angelina Jolie steps behind the camera for her second feature as director, tackling the epic true-life story of American war hero Louis Zamperini, who died in 2014, aged 94.
Foxcatcher won Miller the accolade of Best Director Award at Cannes. “A GRIPPING FILM.”
The Guardian 08
Delivering a nuanced performance of supreme emotional strength, British actor Jack O’Connell (’71, Starred Up) plays the Olympic athlete turned airforce pilot, who was taken prisoner by the Japanese during World War II. There he is tortured by a brutal guard who is determined to break his spirit, but who hasn’t counted on Zamperini’s astounding will to survive.

The Long Goodbye
Priceless

French Rom-Coms
Sat 14 Feb 11am – 3.30pm
Romantic comedy à l’américaine has exploded as a genre in France, and boosted by the global success of Amélie, has produced further export successes as Priceless and Heartbreaker.
Often referred to as the second golden age of American cinema, the 1970s saw the emergence of a new breed of filmmaker, tackling subjects the collapsing studios would never have dared broach in their heyday. With new films like Foxcatcher, A Most Violent Year and Inherent Vice clearly owing a debt to the films of this period, Ian Haydn Smith will look back at the classics, the blockbusters, the lost gems and misadventures of this period, before a screening of Robert Altman’s 1973 masterpiece The Long Goodbye.
Sat 7 Mar 11am – 3.30pm
This Film Talk will provide an introduction to the ways in which the phenomenon provides a barometer of the changing social norms in France, taking in ideas about coupling culture and gender roles, as well as examining the subtext that is Franco-American relations. There will be a complete screening of the Audrey Tautou romantic comedy, Priceless.

The Theory of Everything 12a Fri 30 Jan – Thu 5 Feb & Mon 16, Wed 18 & Thu 19 Feb Dir: James Marsh UK 2014 123mins Cast: Eddie Redmayne, Felicity Jones, David Thewlis A moving and poignant film about worldfamous physicist, Stephen Hawking. James Marsh’s film focuses on the romance between Stephen and his future wife Jane (Jones) that blossomed while they were studying at Cambridge University, and the painful discovery and subsequent attempts to manage Stephen’s motor neurone disease.
The Theory of Everything
Heart-wrenching, yet still uplifting and full of humour, The Theory of Everything features a physically demanding central performance, delivered perfectly by Eddie Redmayne. A new British crowd-pleaser, set to be this year’s The King’s Speech.
Birdman 15 Fri 30 Jan – Thu 5 Feb Dir: Alejandro González Iñárritu US 2014 119mins Cast: Michael Keaton, Zach Galifianakis, Emma Stone Michael Keaton gives a storming performance in this bold new film from Babel director Alejandro González Iñárritu. Keaton is Riggan Thomson, an actor best known for his role as comic superhero Birdman. Now aged and faded, he hopes to revitalise his career with a Broadway play. But as the production draws on, and relationships with critics, colleagues and family fray, Riggan’s personal life unravels in a spectacular blur of fantasy and reality. A wonderfully frenzied exploration of art, ego and fame, the film features astonishing cinematography and a superb supporting cast. “BEAUTIFUL, HILARIOUS, FILM-DEFYING FILM.”

Tue 17 & Wed 18 Feb Dir: Louis Malle France/West Germany/Italy 1987 100mins subtitled Cast: Gaspard Manesse, Raphael Fejtö, Philippe Morier-Genoud
When writer and pacifist Vera Britain published her memoirs from the period 1914-1918, they immediately became a bestseller, and are still considered one of the greatest war memoirs ever written. Testament of Youth is an epic coming of age tale, as the young Vera struggles against the constraints of the accepted roles for women, while at the same time raging against the injustice of a war that will take friends, family and lovers away from her. Alicia Vikander (A Royal Affair, Anna Karenina) is luminescent as woman whose voice would define a generation.
Returning to the screen, this French film classic details how a quick, unthinking action can have a devastating impact. Julien is a young boy at a boarding school in occupied France. When new students arrive, Julien is unaware that they are Jews in hiding, and of the dangers they face in the outside world. Forming a close bond with one of the boys, Jean, he soon uncovers the truth, and when the Gestapo come to inspect the school, and instinctive action has catastrophic consequences.

With stunningly shot and choreographed fight sequences and beautifully restrained performances from Tony Leung (Hero) and Zhang Ziyi (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon), The Grandmaster is an unusually atmospheric and philosophic take on the martial arts genre. “A STUDY OF IDEAS AND TEXTURES, DESIGNED TO RAVISH THE SENSES.” The Guardian Ex Machina

Nathan (Isaac) is the illusive billionaire CEO of the world’s largest internet company, who invites Caleb (Gleeson), one of his young talented coders to his Alaskan retreat. On arrival, Caleb is introduced to Ava (Vikander), a robot that Nathan has created. But as the experiment progresses, Caleb finds that Ava is more perceptive than he first thought, and Nathan’s motives are not so clear cut.

Andrew, a young, gifted drummer is selected to be in a jazz band led by JK Simmon’s Terrence Fletcher, an aggressive, obsessive teacher who will go to extraordinary lengths to get the best out of his charges. Although beaten and berated, Andrew is willing to sacrifice his personal life to become a better drummer and win Fletcher’s approval. The central relationship between teacher and pupil is terrifically performed by the two leads including a career-making turn from Miles Teller as Andrew. “OSCAR-WORTHY PERFORMANCES FROM MILES TELLER AND JK SIMMONS MAKE THIS JAZZ DRUM DRAMA A DAZZLING SUCCESS.” The Telegraph
Trash 15
In 1970, drug-fuelled Los Angeles detective Larry ‘Doc’ Sportello investigates the disappearance of a former girlfriend. Adapted from Thomas Pynchon’s novel by writer-director Paul Thomas Anderson (Magnolia, There Will Be Blood, The Master), this American crime-comedy is a wild ride through a landscape of far-out scenarios and brain-melting characters, with a game supporting cast and a typically leftfield performance from Joaquin Phoenix in the central role.
Inherent Vice
Fri 27 Feb – Thu 5 Mar Dir: Stephen Daldry UK/Brazil 2014 114mins Cast: Rooney Mara, Martin Sheen, Rickson Tevez, Gabriel Weinstein Billy Elliot director Stephen Daldry once more coaxes remarkable performances from a young cast in this Brazilian-set tale of triumph over adversity. Three young boys live and work in the favelas in Rio, sorting through trash on the local rubbish dump. When a wallet is unearthed, the boys are delighted and share the cash between them. But they soon realise there is something far more important in the wallet when a corrupt police inspector turns up, desperate to find it.
