C'mon C'mon - Sunday 6th March 5pm

 

Our rescheduled screening of C'mon C'mon takes place this Sunday. Joaquin Phoenix plays Johnny who hits the road across the States with his nephew Jesse who he is looking after while his sister Viv is away.

"C'mon C'mon is a great big bear hug wrapped in celluloid. Mike Mills, is a master of intimate, unforced emotion and the kind of simple wisdom that always sounds best when it’s coming from the minds of children. They come out with the kind of gold that screenwriters would spend many a sleepless night trying to chase after" - Clarisse Loughrey, Independent

The Tragedy of Macbeth - Sunday 27th February 4:45pm

A slightly earlier start this week at 4:45pm to make room for live broadcast of The Strange Case Of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde at 7pm.

The Tragedy Of Macbeth is Joel Coen's first film on his own without his brother and it is a bold one; stripping away all the Coen Brothers normal detail – even shooting in black and white.

"zeroing in on the essential details of Shakespeare's tale of how a hunger for power can curdle into madness and death... his adaptation cuts the play down to a lean 105 minutes of Macbeth plotting, killing, and unravelling as he faces his ultimate downfall, trying to cling to the prophecies that propelled him to power. The sparseness of the script matches the modesty of the staging." - David Sims, The Atlantic

Memoria - Sunday 20th February 5:00 PM

 

Memoria split our reviewers and will probably not be to everyone's taste, but it felt too big to ignore: Voted as fourth best film of the year by Sight and Sound, and winner of the Jury Prize at Cannes, we decided you had to be given the chance to see it.

Don't expect a plot, but do expect a magical experience, lead by the queen of the unexpected, Tilda Swinton. She plays Jessica who hears a strange booming noise which leads her throughout the film... but to where?

"Designed and deserving to be seen big and loud, Memoria is a hypnotic, unquantifiable, occasionally inpenetrable sonic odyssey from a unique cinematic voice" – Jake Cunningham, Empire Magazine

A Hero - Sunday 13th February 5pm

A Hero is the latest from one of Keswick's favourite directors since we showed Oscar-winning 'A Separation' in 2012. Could this be another Oscar for Asghar? Several reviewers think so.

"Like all Farhadi's work, 'A Hero' operates as a calmly agonizing procedural, where one evasion or deception naturally squirms into the form of another, and another..." - Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune
