WarwickArtsCentre

WELCOME There is a hatful of exciting new British cinema coming to Warwick Arts Centre this season.

I have been waiting to programme Lone Scherfig’s affectionate and beautifully observed Their Finest for over six months. Gemma Arterton brings the perfect balance of feminine charm and steely determination whilst Bill Nighy is having a whale of a time as a wartime thespian. Roger Michell, director of Notting Hill, returns with a new adaptation of Daphne du Maurier’s My Cousin Rachel and Stephen Fry’s acerbic comedy The Hippopotamus assembles a cast of stalwart, tongue-in-cheek Brits.

Fresh voices are found in Lady Macbeth, in which rising star, Florence Pugh, plays a vengeful young woman forced into marriage in rural England, and Mad to be Normal, portrait of the unconventional 1960’s psychiatrist R.D.Laing, is imbued with energy and passion by David Tennant.

There are three outstanding films from East Asia in this programme. Park Chan-wook’s The Handmaiden is a ravishingly beautiful adaptation of Sarah Waters’ Fingersmith, moved to Japanese occupied Korea in World War II. You will not see a more stunning or sensual movie this year.

Xiaogang Feng’s I am not Madame Bovary is an extraordinary tale of a peasant woman who takes on a corrupt administration in China, with unique methods of framing and subtitles in both English and Mandarin. From Japan is the incomparable Hirokazu Kore-eda’s latest film, After the Storm.

Nobody gets inside families like him; his stories are simple, quiet and immensely affecting.

There is also a new wave of Science Fiction emerging, represented here by Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, full of self-deprecating humour and Ridley Scott’s Alien Covenant, the next in a line of Alien prequels. Ghost in the Shell is one of the most engaging and provocative discussions of artificial intelligence through existentialism, political propaganda and gender representation, and is not to be missed on the big screen.

The great thing about cinema at Warwick Arts Centre is that it is so much more reliable than a British summer!

The Sense of an Ending

One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest

One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest 15 Mon 1 & Wed 3 May Dir: Milos Forman USA 1975 134mins Cast: Jack Nicholson, Louise Fletcher, Christopher Lloyd, Danny De Vito Livewire Randle P McMurphy (Nicholson) unwisely cons his way out of prison, where he has been incarcerated for statutory rape, and into a mental institution. After witnessing the degrading treatment of the inmates (including DeVito and Lloyd) he leads them in a revolt against the cold and terrifying Nurse Ratched (Fletcher).

The acclaimed Oscar winning adaption of Ken Kesey’s famous novel, this is arguably Nicholson’s finest performance and features a stellar cast who went on to become stars in their own right.

The Sense of an Ending 15 Mon 1 – Thu 4 May; Fri 2 – Sun 4 Jun Dir: Ritesh Batra UK 2017 108mins Cast: Jim Broadbent, Harriet Walter, Charlotte Rampling Based on the award-winning novel

by Julian Barnes, retired divorcee Tony Webster (Broadbent) lives a relatively quiet life until the mother of his university girlfriend, Veronica (Rampling), unexpectedly leaves him a diary in her will, which Veronica refuses to give up.

In trying to recover the diary and in retelling the story to his exwife Margaret (Walter), Tony is forced to face the truth behind the constructed, selective memories of his past, whilst managing his relationships with Margaret and their pregnant daughter.

Neruda 15 Tue 2 – Thu 4 May Dir: Pablo Larraín Chile/Argentina/France/USA/Spain 2016 107mins Spanish with subtitles Cast: Gael García Bernal, Luis Gnecco In the early days of the Cold War, as Chile aligned itself with America, Neruda’s (Gnecco) Communist convictions saw him branded an enemy of the state and he was obliged to go into hiding with his wife, Delia (Mercedes Morán).

In this bold and inventive thriller, Neruda is obsessively pursued by a detective, offering a beautifully performed, shadowy cat-andmouse drama, in which the celebrated poet forever eludes those trying to pin him down.

“A DETERMINEDLY PLAYFUL, MAGICAL REALIST-STYLE YARN.” The Independent Their Finest

Their Finest 12a Fri 5 – Thu 11 May; Fri 9 – Sun 11 Jun Dir: Lone Scherfig UK 2016 117mins Cast: Gemma Arterton, Sam Claflin, Bill Nighy Needing work during the Blitz, young copywriter Catrin (Arterton) is employed by the Ministry of Information’s Film Division to write female dialogue (“the slop”) for propaganda pictures. Catching the eye of producer Buckley (Clafin), she is hired to write for a moraleboosting film about the heroics of twin sisters during the Battle of Dunkirk, featuring pompous actor Ambrose Hilliard (Nighy).

Based on Lissa Evans’s novel, Their Finest Hour and a Half, this is a charming, spirited drama exploring women’s changing roles during World War II. 03

The Handmaiden 18 (Ah-ga-ssi) Fri 5 – Mon 8 May Dir: Park Chan-wook South Korea 2016 156mins Korean with subtitles Cast: Kim Min-hee, Ha Jung-woo, Kim Tae-ri A con artist, Count Fujiwara (Jungwoo), sets out to steal the riches of beautiful heiress Lady Hideko (Minhee). Installing pickpocket Sook-hee (Tae-ri) as Hideko’s handmaiden, Fujiwara charges her with getting the heiress to elope with him rather than go ahead with her impending marriage to her uncle. However, Sook-hee and Hideko fall for each other instead.

Adapted from Sarah Waters’ award-winning novel Fingersmith, director Park Chan-wook relocates this visually stunning exploration of female sexuality to 1930s Korea.

I Am Not Your Negro 12a Tue 9 & Wed 10 May Dir: Raoul Peck France/USA 2016 93mins Cast: Samuel L. Jackson, James Baldwin In 1979, author James Baldwin responded to a request to write about the lives and assassinations of his friends Medgar Evers, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr with a 30-page letter entitled Notes Toward Remember This House.

Narrated by Samuel L. Jackson, I Am Not Your Negro is a combination of Baldwin’s letter, interviews and video footage from both the past and the present, forming a radical examination of race in America.

“ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES ABOUT THE CIVIL RIGHTS ERA EVER MADE.”

The Handmaiden

I Am Not Your Negro

Viceroy’s House 12a Fri 12 – Sun 14 May Dir: Gurinder Chadha UK/India 2017 106mins Cast: Hugh Bonneville, Gillian Anderson, Michael Gambon, Manish Dayal, Huma Qureshi, Om Puri India, 1947. British rule is coming to an end and Lord Mountbatten (Bonneville) is appointed as the last Viceroy to manage the transition of power back to the Indian people.

Directed by Gurinder Chadha, whose family was caught up in the tragic events that followed, Viceroy’s House explores the devastating impact of partition.

Rules Don’t Apply 12a Fri 12 – Thu 18 May Dir: Warren Beatty USA 2016 127mins Cast: Warren Beatty, Lily Collins, Alden Ehrenreich

Rules

pply

Don’t A

Arriving in 1950s Hollywood as a contract actress, devout Baptist Marla Mabrey (Collins), meets and falls for her driver, Methodist Frank Forbes (Ehrenreich). Their instant attraction not only puts their beliefs to the test, but also defies eccentric billionaire Hughes’ (Beatty) primary rule that no employee is to date one of his actresses. Drawn further into his bizarre world, the couple struggle with Hughes’ troubled behaviour and their feelings towards each other.

Effervescent and melancholic, this is the fascinating, tragic legacy of Howard Hughes that has seduced Hollywood legend Warren Beatty for over 40 years.

Ghost in the Shell 12a Mon 15 – Wed 17 May Dir: Rupert Sanders USA 2017 107mins Cast: Scarlett Johansson, Michael Pitt, Rila Fukushima

Ghost in the Shell

Viceroy’s House

Saved from a fatal accident and cyber-enhanced to be the perfect soldier, Major (Johansson) is the first of her kind, a human consciousness in a cybernetic body. As she begins ‘glitching’, haunted by the memory of her human brain, she discovers that her life wasn’t saved, but stolen.

Based on the Japanese cult favourite, this visually stunning live-action adaptation questions the nature of what makes us human, and where artificial intelligence stops and the soul begins.

“SHEER, CORUSCATING VISUAL EXCITEMENT” Variety 05

Lady Macbeth

Lady Macbeth TBA Fri 19 – Sun 21 May Dir: William Oldroyd UK 2016 89mins Cast: Florence Pugh, Cosmo Jarvis, Christopher Fairbank This adaptation of Nikolai Leskov’s 1865 novella, Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk District, moves the action to 19th century England as young bride, Katherine (Pugh), is sold into an arranged marriage to a much older and disinterested man. Initially lonely, housebound and bullied by her father-in-law (Fairbank), Katherine embarks upon a passionate and dangerous affair.

Featuring an outstanding, nuanced performance from Florence Pugh, Katherine is young, petulant and seductive, going to increasingly shocking lengths to protect her newfound fulfilment and freedom.

Mad to be Normal

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2 12a Fri 19 – Thu 25 May Dir: James Gunn USA 2017 136mins Cast: Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper, Vin Diesel Following Marvel’s 2014 comic book hit, the Guardians return for a highly anticipated sequel, set to the soundtrack of Awesome Mixtape #2. Traversing the outer reaches of the cosmos, the team – including Earth-born hero Quill (Pratt), assassin Gamora (Saldana) and baby tree Groot (Vin Diesel) – must fight to keep their newfound family together as they unravel the mystery of Quill’s true parentage. When a job for a species of royal aliens begins to go wrong, they are faced with the task of saving the Universe.

In comparison to the brutal, prison-like psychiatric hospitals of the time, Laing allowed his patients the freedom to be themselves and explore their own illness.

Join us for this special screening, introduced by investigative journalist and forensic expert Duncan Campbell, and with readings from legendary actress Julie Christie and film festival director, Rosa Bosch.

Tina (Garrido) from Chile is stranded in a new country in need of refuge and friends. She gets help, but events do not turn out quite as expected. Responding to the arrival of political refugees from the Pinochet coup in Chile, this is one of Stephen Frears’ (My Beautiful Laundrette, Florence Foster Jenkins) earliest films.

Featuring one of David Tennant’s best performances, this is a fascinating look at a 1960s counterculture hero.

British Museum presents:

Fri 2 – Mon 5 Jun Dir: François Ozon France/Germany 2016 114mins German/French with subtitles Cast: Pierre Niney, Paula Beer

Mon 5, Wed 7 & Thu 8 Jun Dir: John Butler Ireland 2016 95mins Cast: Fionn O’Shea, Nicholas Galitzine, Andrew Scott

Tue 6 Jun Tickets: £12.50 (£10) Japan UK 2017 90mins

Germany, 1919. Anna (Beer) finds young Frenchman, Adrien (Niney), laying flowers on the grave of her fallen soldier fiancé, Frantz. Upon learning that the young men were friends in their student days in Paris, Anna introduces Adrien to Frantz’s parents, who slowly warm to him.

A music-loving outcast with little interest in sport, Ned (O’Shea), struggles to get on at his rugbyobsessed boarding school. Planning another year of keeping his head down and surviving the bullying that he knows will come, he is surprised to form an unlikely friendship with his new roommate and rugby star, Conor (Galitzine). However, with athletic and artistic pressures mounting, along with the difficulties of subverting school cliques, their friendship is put to the test.

A reimagining of Ernst Lubitsch’s Broken Lullaby, and shot almost entirely in black and white by director Ozon (In the House), the second half removes itself from the source material and switches perspective to Anna as she has to decide between the brutal truth or a kind lie.

A heartwarming and observant coming-of-age film about bravery, loyalty and friendship.

Hokusai TBA

This fascinating new cinema event is a groundbreaking documentary and exclusive private view of the forthcoming British Museum exhibition Hokusai: beyond the Great Wave.

Filmed in Japan and the UK, the film focuses on Hokusai’s work, life and times in the great, bustling metropolis of Edo, modern Tokyo.

Hokusai spent his life studying and celebrating our common humanity as well as exploring the natural and spiritual worlds, using the famous volcano Mount Fuji as a protective presence and potential source of immortality.

Sun 18 – Tue 20 Jun Dir: Terry George Spain/USA 2016 134mins Cast: Oscar Isaac, Charlotte Le Bon, Christian Bale

Danièle Thompson’s beautiful new biopic focuses on the turbulent friendship between two of France’s most groundbreaking artists; writer Emile Zola (Canet) and painter Paul Cézanne (Gallienne).

Born poor and fatherless, Zola’s fame saw him joining the very bourgeoisie he had attacked in his youth, whereas Cézanne was rich but success eluded him until much later in life. When Zola released his book L’Oeuvre, focusing on a failed painter, Cézanne confronted him, leading the two men to examine their friendship and possible future.

After the Storm

1914. As the Great War looms, the Ottoman Empire is crumbling.

When Michael (Isaac), arrives in Constantinople (Istanbul) to train as a doctor, he meets Ana (Le Bon), and their shared Armenian heritage sparks an attraction that explodes into a romantic rivalry between Michael and Ana’s boyfriend, Chris (Bale), an American photojournalist dedicated to exposing political truth.

After the Turks join the war on the German side, the Empire turns violently against its own ethnic minorities and, despite their conflicts, all three must join forces to survive.

Fri 23, Mon 26 & Tue 27 Jun Dir: Jordan Peele USA 2017 104mins Cast: Daniel Kaluuya, Allison Williams, Bradley Whitford, Catherine Keener

A New Zealander who became one of motor racing’s greatest icons and founded one of the world’s most successful teams, Bruce McLaren’s name has become synonymous with the sport.

From a childhood illness, to becoming the youngest driver to win a Formula 1 Grand Prix, to the Can-Am crash at Goodwood that ended his life at only 32 years of age, this inspirational documentary follows McLaren’s pioneering spirit, unswerving tenacity and the endless passion that inspired generations of sporting fans.

Invited to “meet the parents”, Rose (Williams) takes boyfriend Chris (Kaluuya) for a weekend getaway at her family’s estate. At first, Chris reads the family’s overly accommodating behaviour as nervous attempts to deal with their daughter’s interracial relationship but, as the weekend progresses, a series of increasingly bizarre discoveries lead him to an unimaginable truth.

A deceptively funny and completely disturbing American nightmare.
