Or call the Box Office: 01691 238167 An immaculate, entirely female-driven drama, the debut feature of Paraguayan filmmaker Marcelo Martinessi screened in Competition for the Golden Bear at the 2018 Berlinale, where it won the Alfred Bauer Silver Bear and received unanimous acclaim. Chela and Chiquita, both descended from wealthy families in Asunción, Paraguay, have been together for over 30 years. But recently their financial situation has worsened and they begin selling off their inherited possessions. But when their debts lead to Chiquita being imprisoned on fraud charges, Chela is forced to face a new reality. Driving for the first time in years, she begins to provide a local taxi service to a group of elderly wealthy ladies. As Chela settles into her new life, she encounters the much younger Angy, forging a fresh and invigorating new connection. Chela finally begins to break out of her shell and engage with the world, embarking on her own personal, intimate revolution. "The Heiresses is a tickling, near-perfect tragicomedy from Paraguay. The nuances are so fine you could slip them between adjacent atoms." ***** Financial Times "Martinessi shrewdly combines subtlety, melancholy, satirical observation and candour about sex." **** The Guardian Director: Marcelo Martinessi Paraguay/Uruguay/Germany 2018 Cast: Ana Brun, Ana Ivanova, Margarita Irun Run time: 98 mins English subtitles | |  | The Seagull (12A) Friday 5th October 7:30pm

Or call the Box Office: 01691 238167 One of America's greatest character actors gets a superb valedictory leading role in a funny and touching portrait of a 90-year-old loner staring down mortality. The titles declare, 'Harry Dean Stanton IS Lucky'. And with the opening scenes, as this aged ex-cowboy determinedly goes about his daily business in a small desert town – smoking, yoga, TV game shows, more smoking – it's instantly clear how tailored the role is to Stanton's creased, fiercely unsentimental charms. When an unexpected fall jolts Lucky from his comfort zone, actor-turned-debut-director John Carroll Lynch (Fargo, Zodiac) stealthily widens his scope to present a gentle, wise and ultimately graceful reflection on loss and acceptance. There are wonderful supporting turns from David Lynch and Stanton's Alien cohort Tom Skerritt, but it's Harry Dean who really shines here, giving his greatest lead performance since 1984's Paris, Texas. Lucky us. Leigh Singer - BFI "beautiful film and a wonderful final masterclass in living a character from the great Harry Dean Stanton. Also a note-perfect supporting performance from David Lynch. Anyone that loved Wim Wenders' Paris, Texas, Lynch's Straight Story or Alexander Payne's Nebraska will love Lucky. I wish you all the best with it" [Robert Mitchell, Variety] "Lucky packs a really sensitive, understated, emotional wallop with its own unique built-in Lifetime Achievement Award for Harry Dean Stanton." *** The Observer "No one who cares about movies and those rare actors who can elevate them into something unforgettable would dream of missing this scrappy, loving tribute to a virtuoso. Lucky may not believe in God. But what kind of fool doesn't believe in Harry Dean Stanton?" **** Rolling Stone Director: John Carroll Lynch Cast: Harry Dean Stanton, David Lynch, Ron Livingston Run time: 88 mins | |  | The Children Act (12A)

Or call the Box Office: 01691 238167 Adapted by Ian McEwan from his own novel, theatre and film director Richard Eyre's (Iris, Notes on a Scandal) stately, moving drama following an eminent High Court judge for whom professional and personal crises collide as she approaches a critical ruling. Even as her marriage to Jack (Stanley Tucci) founders, widely admired judge Fiona Maye (Emma Thompson) has a life-changing decision to make at work, namely: should she force Adam (Fionn Whitehead), a 17-year-old with leukaemia, to have the blood transfusion that will save his life against his parents', and perhaps his, beliefs? To the court's surprise, Judge Maye decides to see Adam in hospital before delivering her verdict. But this unorthodox move will have profound ramifications both professionally and personally, as her visit stirs new emotions in the boy and long-buried memories in her. Immaculately directed, meticulously calibrated, Eyre's restrained and nuanced drama is in many ways reminiscent of 2017's painful deliberations over the Charlie Gard case, giving it an additional contemporary relevance and weight. It's also immeasurably aided by a stylish, intelligent and emotionally literate performance from Thompson, who hasn't enjoyed a role this rich in some time and excels in her articulation of Fiona's troubled emotional world and moral disquiet. "A heartbreaking lament for loves lost and lives unrealised, a restrained, nuanced movie about nuance and restraint." Sight and Sound "The Children Act is a masterpiece from beginning to end and it should not be missed." ***** Film Threat Director: Richard Eyre UK 2017 Cast: Emma Thompson, Stanley Tucci, Fionn Whitehead Run time: 105 mins | |  | Royal Opera House Live: Mayerling (12A) Monday 15th October 7:15pm Tickets: £15.00 Adult/£10.00 under 16's

A Ballet In three acts: Mayerling is a classic of the Royal Ballet repertory, with its emotional depth, haunting imagery, and one of the most demanding roles ever created for a male dancer. Kenneth MacMillan choreographed a complex work around the psychologically tormented heir to the Habsburg Empire, Crown Prince Rudolf. From the ballet's start, the glamour of the Austro-Hungarian court is contrasted with undercurrents of sexual and political intrigue that drive the story to its violent climax in a double suicide. The large cast allows for impressive ensembles in addition to the ballet's many solos of distinctive character and pas de deux of disturbing eroticism. This ballet, bursting with intensity, madness and passion, proves that sometimes the truth is more scandalous than fiction.

Or call the Box Office: 01691 238167 Screening as part of Shropshire's World War One Film Festival During the First World War, men faced questions about themselves never asked before on such a scale when the most enormously destructive conflict the world had ever seen felled tens of thousands every week. Some men broke, and found themselves in asylums. This is a film about some of these men, and some of those who treated them. It deals with a change in the conception of the world so vast that it needed a whole new language to deal with it. Set in Craiglockhart Army Hospital, 1917. Soldiers returning from battle are treated by disillusioned psychiatrist Dr William Rivers, a man beset by his own ethical doubts. Two of the soldiers meeting there are Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen, two of England's most important WWI poets. This deeply moving story is based on the best-selling novel by Pat Barker. "Mackinnon's film is a worthy, often engrossing tale, delicately acted and beautifully shot. The sheer horror of trench warfare haven't been captured this vividly and emotionally since Kubrick's Paths Of Glory." **** Bob McCabe - Empire. 1997 Uk/Canada Run time: 114 min Dir: Gillies Mackonnon Cast includes: Jonathan Pryce, James Wilby, Johnny Lee Miller For further information on the festival follow this link: http://www.shropshireremembers.org.uk/shropshires-first-world-war-film-festival/ | |  | The Beaches of Agnes (18) Thursday 18th October 7:30pm

On the eve of her 80th birthday, Agnès Varda takes us on a stroll to the beaches and shores that provided the settings for key moments in her life. With wit and honesty, Varda addresses her early life in Belgium, her family's exile during the Second World War, her beginnings as an artist, her relationship with Jacques Demy, her feminism and her thoughts on ageing. An authentic, tender and moving autobiography in which shines the filmmaker's refreshing and constant curiosity.

Life begins to change in a quietly dramatic fashion when Agnes receives a jigsaw puzzle as a birthday gift and experiences the heady thrill of not just doing something she enjoys, but being very, very, good at it. "It's not fair to oversell "Puzzle." It's a modest, tender movie in which not much happens, aside from a woman transforming in small but seismic ways. For fans of Macdonald who have long awaited the movie she owns from start to finish, it's nothing less than a simple, humane and tenderhearted triumph." **** The Washington Post Director: Marc Turtletaub Cast: Kelly Macdonald, David Denman, Irrfan Khan, Austin Abrams, Liv Hewson Run time: 1 hour 43 mins | |  | BlackKkKlansman (15) Saturday 20th October 7:30pm

It's the early 1970s, a time of great social upheaval as the struggle for civil rights rages on. Ron Stallworth (John David Washington) becomes the first African-American detective on the Colorado Springs Police Department, but his arrival is greeted with skepticism and open hostility by the department's rank and file. Undaunted, Stallworth resolves to make a name for himself and a difference in his community. He bravely sets out on a dangerous mission: infiltrate and expose the Ku Klux Klan. Posing as a racist extremist, Stallworth contacts the group and soon finds himself invited into its inner circle. He even cultivates a relationship with the Klan's Grand Wizard, David Duke (Topher Grace), who praises Ron's commitment to the advancement of White America. With the undercover investigation growing ever more complex, Stallworth's colleague, Flip Zimmerman (Adam Driver), poses as Ron in face-to-face meetings with members of the hate group, gaining insider's knowledge of a deadly plot. Together, Stallworth and Zimmerman team up to take down the organization whose real aim is to sanitize its violent rhetoric to appeal to the mainstream. Spike Lee's hugely enjoyable and politically timely film uses this unbelievable case to lift a lid on racism in America, both past and present. It's frequently hilarious, particularly in highlighting the idiocy of the Klan, but never misses a moment to comment on racial inequality.

Roy and Monte Rutledge have very different personalities. Monte is a freewheeling womanizer, even with his brother's girlfriend Helen. He also proves to have a yellow streak when it comes to his Night Patrol duties. Roy is made of strong moral fibre and attempts to keep his brother in line. Both volunteer for an extremely risky two man bombing mission for different reasons. Monte wants to lose his cowardly reputation and Roy seeks to protect his brother. Their assignment to knock out a strategic German munitions facility is a booming success, but with a squadron of fighters bearing down on them afterwards, escape seems unlikely. Controversy during the Hell's Angels production contributed to the film's notoriety, including the accidental deaths of several pilots. Hell's Angels was one of the highest-grossing films of the early sound era and was widely reported as being one of the most expensive films ever made. Dir: Howard Hughes, James Whale.

Book online:https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/date/550010 Or call the Box Office: 01691 238167 Pawel Pawlikowski, director of the Oscar-winning Ida, returns with the exquisite Cold War. A tumultuous love story between two people of different backgrounds and temperaments – who despite their overwhelming passion for each other, are fatefully mismatched – it won him Best Director at Cannes in May and has received ecstatic reviews. Loosely inspired by Pawlikowski's parents (to whom the film is also dedicated) it's set against the oppressive background of the Cold War and across Poland, Berlin, Yugoslavia and Paris; following singer Zula (an effortlessly magnetic and beguiling performance by Joanna Kulig) and pianist Wiktor (Tomasz Kot) from their initial meeting at an audition over the course of the ensuing 15 years. Endlessly drawn to each other, they are unable to co-exist but their inability to move on from one another is cyclical, stuck on a painful and exhausting loop. The film's very structure – particularly through use of narrative ellipses – serves to compound and solidify their unbreakable bond as Zula rises to fame, as they perform across Eastern Europe (the film includes some brilliantly choreographed musical set-pieces) and realise that they must find a way to slip past the Iron Curtain, and soon. It's a moving, searching and highly personal film from Pawlikowski, who grew up in exile from Poland's Communist rule and lived in the UK and Paris until the period in which he made Ida, which saw him move back to Poland and change cinematic focus entirely. It feels in many ways as though he is building further upon the artistic success of that film, with silvery monochrome cinematography by Ida cinematographer Łukasz Żal, and a continued commitment to explore both the dark heart of Poland and how its 20th century political wounds and unrest echoed through the emotional lives of its subjects. A triumph.

When his boss calls an emergency meeting, Christopher Robin's (Ewan McGregor) is put under pressure to cancel his family holiday with his wife, Evelyn (Hayley Atwell), and their young daughter. His boss gives him some harsh words when he tells him "I thought you'd do anything for this company." Christopher must decide whether to abandon his holiday plans and risk disappointing his family, or let down his boss by skipping the meeting. He decides to go on a walk through the Hundred Acre Woods to clear his head but ends up lost after wandering much further than he normally would. At a loss at what to do, Christopher sits down on a bench to contemplate his thoughts – but not for long. To his relief, cuddly old friend from the past, Winnie the Pooh (Jim Cummings) turns up out of the blue to his rescue. Pooh helps him to restore balance between his working life and family by making him realise he must reconnect with childhood friends and memories to rediscover the joys of life. From the studio that brought us Beauty and the Beast, Christopher Robin is a modern take on the beloved childhood classic, Winnie the Pooh, and brings together a stronghold of talent including Ewan McGregor and Hayley Atwell.
