Mood Indigo  (15)
The Best Of British & World Cinema Season
Wednesday 1st October  1:30pm
&
Saturday 4th October  7:30pm


Tickets: £6.00 Adults/£4.00 Under 16's

Our final two screenings of this baffling yet beautiful film that truly shows off the joyful cinematic talents of Michel Gondry.


Eminently inventive auteur Michel Gondry finds inspiration from french novelist Boris Vian's cult novel to provide the foundation for this visionary and romantic love story starring Audrey Tautou (Amélie, Coco Before Chanel) and Romain Duris (The Beat My Heart Skipped).

Set in a charmingly surreal Paris, Duris plays w
ealthy bachelor Colin, whose hobbies include developing his pianocktail (a cocktail-making piano) and devouring otherworldly dishes prepared by his trusty chef Nicolas (Omar Sy, The Untouchables, X-Men: Days Of The Future Past). When Colin learns that his best friend Chick (Gad Elmaleh, The Valet), a fellow acolyte of the philosopher Jean-Sol Partre, has a new American girlfriend, our lonely hero attends a friend’s party in hopes of falling in love himself.

He soon meets Chloé (Tautou) and, before they know it, they’re dancing to Duke Ellington and plunging headfirst into a romance that Gondry rapturously depicts as only he can. Their whirlwind courtship is tested when an unusual illness plagues Chloe; a flower begins to grow in her lungs. To save her, Colin discovers the only cure is to surround Chloe with a never-ending supply of fresh flowers.

Mood Indigo was Nominated for three 2014 César Awards: Étienne Charry (Best Original Music), Florence Fontaine (Best Costume) and Stéphane Rozenbaum (Best Production Design) and also stars Charlotte Le Bon (Yves Saint Laurent, To Reach the Clouds) and Aïssa Maïga.

Hector And The Search For Happiness (15)
Thursday 2nd October  7:30pm


Tickets £6.00 Adult/£4.00 Under 16's


Our final screening of this film which has gone down well with audiences ... it is a hard film to pigeon hole not exactly a comedy or romance or drama but it's got all those elements in it yet they all balance perfectly. Funny, smart and a terrific feel good ending.


Hector (Simon Pegg) is a quirky psychiatrist who has become increasingly tired of his humdrum life. As he tells his girlfriend, Clara, he feels like a fraud: he hasn't really tasted life, and yet he's offering advice to patients who are just not getting any happier.

So Hector decides to break out of his deluded and routine driven life. Armed with buckets of courage and child-like curiosity, he embarks on a global quest in hopes of uncovering the elusive secret formula for true happiness. And so begins a larger than life adventure with riotously funny results.

Tickets: £6.00 Adult/£4.00 Under 16's


With six screenings spread over the month there is plenty of opportunity to catch this classy thriller based on the international best-selling novel by S J Watson.
 
Before I Go to Sleep is a tense psychological thriller starring Academy Award-winner Nicole Kidman (The Hours), Academy Award-winner Colin Firth (The King's Speech, A Single Man) and Mark Strong (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy).

After a traumatic accident, Christine Lucas (Kidman) wakes up every day without being able to remember the day before. With the fear of living each day with no memory, she attempts to piece together the events of her past, uncovering terrifying truths that force her to question everyone around her, not knowing where to turn or who to trust her husband, her doctor or even herself.


The three central performances are top-notch. Kidman conveys both tremulous uncertainty and creeping paranoia with aplomb; Colin Firth twists his understated screen charm to deliciously subversive ends; and Mark Strong cements his reputation as one of modern cinema's most hypnotically unpredictable presences. *** Mark Kermode

The Hundred-Foot Journey  (PG)
The Best Of British & World Cinema Season

Saturday 11th October  1:30pm
Thursday 16th October  7:30pm
Wednesday 22nd October  1:30pm
Friday 24th October  7:30pm


Tickets: £6.00 Adult/£4.00 Under 16's

 
In “The Hundred-Foot Journey,” Hassan Kadam (Manish Dayal) is a culinary ingénue with the gastronomic equivalent of perfect pitch. Displaced from their native India, the Kadam family, led by Papa (Om Puri), settles in the quaint village of Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val in the south of France. Filled with charm, it is both picturesque and elegant – the ideal place to settle down and open an Indian restaurant, the Maison Mumbai. That is, until the chilly chef proprietress of Le Saule Pleureur, a Michelin starred, classical French restaurant run by Madame Mallory (Helen Mirren), gets wind of it.

“The Hundred-Foot Journey” abounds with flavors that burst across the tongue. A stimulating triumph over exile, blossoming with passion and heart, with marjoram and madras, it is a portrayal of two worlds colliding and one boy’s drive to find the comfort of home, in every pot, wherever he may be.

Run time: 122 mins


Mirren’s Madame Mallory unctuously oozes her dedication to perfection from every pore — and it’s truly delicious to watch her work her magic up on the screen.

When the town's villain, Archibald Snatcher, comes up with a plot to get rid of the Boxtrolls, Eggs decides to venture above ground, "into the light," where he meets and teams up with fabulously feisty Winnifred. Together, they devise a daring plan to save Eggs' family.

NT Live Encore: Frankenstein  (15)

Thursday 30th October
with Jonny Lee Miller as The Creature 
7:00pm

Thursday 6th November
with Benedict Cumberbatch as The creature 
7:00pm


Tickets £12.00 Adults/£10.00 Under 16's

National Theatre Live’s thrilling broadcast of Frankenstein returns to cinemas for a limited time, due to unprecedented audience demand.

Directed by Academy Award®-winner Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, Slumdog Millionaire, London 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony), Frankenstein features Benedict Cumberbatch (12 Years A Slave, Star Trek: Into Darkness) and Jonny Lee Miller (Trainspotting, Mansfield Park) alternating roles as Victor Frankenstein and his creation.

The production was a sell-out hit at the National Theatre in 2011, and the broadcast has since become an international sensation, experienced by almost half a million people in cinemas around the world.

Childlike in his innocence but grotesque in form, Frankenstein’s bewildered Creature is cast out into a hostile universe by his horror-struck maker. Meeting with cruelty wherever he goes, the friendless Creature, increasingly desperate and vengeful, determines to track down his creator and strike a terrifying deal.

Urgent concerns of scientific responsibility, parental neglect, cognitive development and the nature of good and evil are embedded within this thrilling and deeply disturbing classic gothic tale.

****'A thrill. The most viscerally exciting and stunning show in town.' Daily Telegraph
