Programme for 2017 and January 2018
Saturday 7 October 2017
Lion (2016 Australia | USA | UK) cert PG, 115 mins, genre: Biography | Drama
Director: Garth Davis, Stars: Dev Patel, Nicole Kidman, Rooney Mara
Lion is a real-life odyssey about an adopted child, Saroo, adapted from Saroo Brierley’s memoir A Long Way Home. We meet 5 year old Saroo (played by Sunny Pawar making his screen debut) in 1986 as the well-loved son of a warm, caring but poverty-stricken family in the Hindi state of Madhya Pradesh. By sheer accident while out scavenging with his older brother he is whisked away hundreds of miles by train to the teeming, alien city of Calcutta where he barely survives as a street urchin until picked up and sent to an orphanage. Soon, he is selected to be adopted by the Brierley family in Tasmania where he grows up in a loving prosperous home. The film then moves to the adult Saroo some 20 years later (played by Dev Patel), when he becomes increasingly driven by memories of his lost family and begins to search for them. Lion received many BAFTA awards.

My Cousin Rachel (2017 UK | USA) cert 12A, 106 mins, genre: Drama | Mystery | Romance
Director: Roger Michell, Stars: Sam Claflin, Rachel Weisz, Holliday Grainger
Our period drama is set in 1850s Cornwall, a perfect Poldarkesque setting for Daphne du Maurier’s classic tale of lust and paranoia. A young Englishman, Philip Ashley (Sam Clafflin) plots revenge on his mysterious, beautiful cousin Rachel (played coincidentally by Rachel Weisz), believing that she murdered his beloved guardian Ambrose after their marriage. (Ambrose died suddenly from a brain tumour but not before Philip received deranged letters from him, implying he was being poisoned.) But Philip’s feelings change dramatically when he meets Rachel and falls under the beguiling spell of her charms. Is she the wicked guilty woman he first believes her to be or is she entirely innocent of intrigue and murder and just trying to survive in a man’s world stacked against her? There is always her little suitcase full of mysterious potions from which she concocts strange herbal teas… to keep you in suspense…..

Nativity! (2009 UK) cert U 105 mins, genre: Comedy | Family
Director: Debbie Isitt, Stars: Martin Freeman and Ashley Jensen
Primary school teacher Paul Maddens is charged with producing the school's nativity play. Competing against the posh rival school for the honour of best reviewed show in town, the stakes are raised when Paul idly boasts that his ex-girlfriend Jennifer, a Hollywood Producer, is coming to see his show with a view to turning it into a film. The only trouble is - they haven't spoken in years. With eccentric assistant Mr Poppy fuelling his 'little white lie', Maddens suddenly finds himself a local celebrity and at the centre of quarrelling parents and over-excited children desperate in their bid for fame and fortune. Maddens' only hope is to get back in touch with Jennifer and lure Hollywood to town so that everybody's Christmas wishes come true.

Dunkirk (2017 Netherlands | UK | France | USA) cert 12A, 106 mins; genre: Drama | History | War
Director: Christopher Nolan, Stars: Tom Hardy, Mark Rylance, Kenneth Branagh
A direct and brilliantly portrayed film by Christopher Nolan of the evacuation of the Allied troops trapped on the Pas de Calais beaches in May-June 1940. Big star cast with among others: Mark Rylance as Mr Dawson, owner of the “Moonstone” a small family cruiser; Kenneth Branagh as Commander Bolton, senior naval officer; Tom Hardy as Spitfire pilot Farrier and newcomer Fionn Whitehead playing (touchingly) teen soldier Tommy. Scenes were shot “as much as possible for real”. The Dunkirk evacuation has been called the greatest “victory snatched from the jaws of defeat” in British history that perhaps determined the final outcome of the war. This film gives the audience the perspective of a few individuals out of many thousands at the sharp end: the men on the beach, the Spitfire pilots and the civilians in their small boats; simply, cinema at its best.
