New releases and Restorations
Pillion (18)
Screening daily (closed Mondays)
Harry Lighton’s bold, funny and unexpectedly tender debut, reinvents the queer love story, with brilliant turns from Harry Melling and Alexander Skarsgård.
"A truly provocative anti-romance that’s funny, honest, strangely touching." - The Film Stage
"That is beautifully achieved in this accomplished debut -- pretty much the film Fifty Shades failed to be." - New Statesman
"It’s knotty stuff for a first film but Lighton finds a delicate balance between disturbing, funny, sweet and sad." - The Times
It Was Just an Accident (12A)
Screening daily (closed Mondays)
Jafar Panahi’s critically acclaimed and deserving Palme d’Or winner is a muscular thriller and an engaging morality tale for our times.
"Panahi melds the personal and political in the most subtle and searing of ways." - Sight & Sound
“It’s another very impressive serio-comic film from one of the most distinctive and courageous figures in world cinema.” – Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
“It is just so intelligent; so blisteringly powerful; so light of touch. It is also one of those rare movies that manages to mix an unlikely trinity of shaggy-dog comedy, revenge thriller and seriously heavy political s--t.” – London Evening Standard
The Doors – When You're Strange (18)
Sat 19.30
With rare footage shot from their formation to Jim Morrison’s death, this GRAMMY Award-winning film follows the band through their career, providing insight into the revolutionary impact of their music.
