Tue 3 & Wed 4 May Dir: Adam McKay US 2015 130mins Cast: Christian Bale, Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, Brad Pitt
In 2001, scandals of abuse and molestation by priests came to a new height – when a group of Boston Globe reporters exposed a widespread corruption within the Catholic Church, shaking the system to its core.
An intelligent comedy starring Ryan Gosling and Brad Pitt, The Big Short tells the story of a group of men who predicted the credit and housing bubble collapse of the mid2000s and decided to take on the big banks for their lack of foresight and greed.
Rachel McAdams (Midnight in Paris), Michael Keaton (Birdman) and Mark Ruffalo (The Kids Are Alright), against the backdrop of 9/11, push themselves to breaking point to bring into the open a vastly disturbing subject matter.
Shot in one fluid, continuous take, Victoria pulls the audience into a vivid and wild uncontrollable night out in Berlin. Four young Berliners meet Victoria, a young Spanish woman newly moved to Berlin, outside a club, and romance kicks in. They stumble through the night, drinking, dancing, flirting, until she finds herself involved in a crime and events that spiral out of control. Winner of the Silver Bear for Outstanding Artistic Achievement at Berlinale 2015, Victoria is a breathless, visceral thrill-ride.

The Brand New Testament 15 Le Tout Nouveau Testament Wed 4 & Thu 5 May Dir: Jaco Van Dormael Belgium/France/Luxembourg 2015 113mins Subtitled Cast: Catherine Deneuve, Benoît Poelvoorde, Pili Groyne God exists – and he lives in a drab flat in Brussels. Jaco Van Dormael’s fantastical black comedy imagines God as a petty, vindictive and cynical writer/ comedian, with a wife and two children, Jesus Christ and young Ea. Whilst many stories have been told of her brother “JC”, Ea, a perceptive 10-year old, concludes that her dad is doing a terrible job and decides to rewrite the world, which leaves God angry, powerless and adamant to get his power back.

Robert Mapplethorpe wasn’t just a photographer. He chronicled an era and the individuals who defined it and became an iconoclast and trendsetter himself. His work knew no boundaries, often courting controversy, skirting the limits of law and upsetting the establishment. “THIS DOCUMENTARY PULLS NO PUNCHES” The Guardian
Dir: Jeff Nichols US 2016 112mins Cast: Michael Shannon, Kirsten Dunst, Jaeden Lieberher, Adam Driver, Joel Edgerton, Paul Sparks, Sam Shepard, Nathan Brimmer Jeff Nichol’s atmospheric and enigmatic road movie tells the story of a young boy with very special powers and his parents’ desperate attempts to return him to his home, all the while being pursued by both a cult and the FBI. Adam Driver stands out as a helpful young scientist. Jeff Nichols’ Midnight Special is a crafted progression from such beloved 1970s dramas as Close Encounters. Low-key, intense, and very, very secretive, it should be just as loved by similar audiences today.

Fri 20 – Sun 22 May Dir: Don Cheadle US 2015 100mins Cast: Don Cheadle, Ewan McGregor
The classic Shakespearean play about a murderously scheming king is staged in an alternative fascist England setting, superbly realised in the remastered southern landscapes: the Brighton Pavilion is turned into a seaside palace and the Armageddon of Bosworth Field is played out with Battersea Power Station as a backdrop. A seamless, high-octane thriller of power and politics with brilliant performances from a stellar cast.
Written and directed by actor Don Cheadle (Hotel Rwanda), Miles Ahead is a free-form biopic on undisputed jazz legend Miles Davies. Unpicking a complex and multifaceted character, Cheadle gives a brilliant performance, full of attitude, as he explores both the persona and the myth. Using flashbacks and a loose improvisatory style, similar to that of Jazz, Cheadle effortlessly evokes the period as well as Davies’ proud, neurotic swagger and turbulent life as he recounts his exploits to Rolling Stone reporter Dave Braden (Ewan McGregor).

Refusing to simply accept the loss of their pensions or to fade away into their declining years, they decide to fight back. Under the invisible cloak of old age might they be able to help save their community and maybe get away with it?

Ran is a stunning 4K digital restoration of Akira Kurosawa’s (Seven Samurai, Ikiru, Rashômon) famous interpretation of King Lear. Spectacularly beautiful with gorgeous colour-saturated frames, it is an undoubted masterpiece; the product of a breathtaking artistic vision that works as an historical epic and Shakespearean adaptation as well as a bloody, action-packed war film with a silent central battle scene that must be seen to be believed. “RAN REMINDS YOU WHY CINEMA EXISTS”

Remaining faithful to the tone and tenor of his source material, Love and Friendship is a refined and very witty comedy of manners.

Visually stunning, baffling and intensely personal, the result is also impossibly ambiguous - but stick with it. Cinema rarely gets this close to poetry in motion.
