On Falling - Sunday 16th November 5pm


On Falling is our next members' choice - Aurora is a 'picker', pushing a trolley through the warehouse finding items chosen online by people she will never meet, keeping to a pace set by the machine in her hand. She is paid just enough to live on - when her mobile phone need repairing, this is a disaster as she is forced to go without other essentials.
"Carreira’s is the kind of small, still-waters debut that nonetheless confidently sets out its maker’s store for future work -- a clarion call for a new generation of social-realist cinema." - Guy Lodge, Variety

Dying - Sunday 9th November 5pm

We thought we may need to sell Dying as a film worth your while watching - why should you invest three hours of your life watching a miserable film about dying? Well the critics agree that "this is a film that justifies every second" and "has your undivided attention throughout the vividly composed, brilliantly acted chapters of its three-hour runtime. A miracle."
"Matthias Glasner’s Dying might sound like an ordeal, but this rich, novelistic and mordantly funny Berlin film festival prize winner wears its themes and running time lightly.” - Wendy Ide, Observer

Cloud - Sunday 2nd November 5pm


Kiyoshi Kurosawa had several award-winning films early this century, including the horror movie 'Pulse', where he portrayed the internet as the home of evil spirits. He is back now with Cloud, a film portraying the internet as dangerous, but this time it is human danger; is the main character who is an immoral 'reseller' of anything and everything for huge profits the baddy, or the people he sells to who decide enough is enough…? A story of our time, then.

"This riveting and highly unusual shoot-em-up finds Kurosawa returning to his roots." - David Ehrlich, IndieWire

Parthenope - Sunday 19th October 5pm

Director Paolo Sorrentino has always been fascinated by beauty and in this weeks film he concentrates totally on the beauty of one woman - Parthenope - whose very appearance seems to have every man obsessed. She herself doesn't like where this power leads her; rather than giving her freedom and enjoyment, her suitors want to own her or bring her sadness.

“An exquisite treatise on cinematic beauty” - Siddhant Adlakha, Variety
