Tom Cruise as you've never seen him before...

In this hotly anticipated new feature from Alejandro González Iñárritu, Tom Cruise takes on one of his most challenging roles yet. Unrecognisable as Digger Rockwell, the most powerful man in the world, he races against time to save humanity from a catastrophic disaster - one he inadvertently created himself.

Sixty years ago, Andrei Tarkovsky said that truthfulness was his guiding principle and, in our post-truth times, his vision acquires a new sense of urgency. His ‘slow cinema’ is an antidote to our accelerated lifestyles, while his dreamlike cinematography makes for melancholy escapism.

Discover this master of cinema and one of the world's most influential filmmakers, in this fascinating talk with Dr Stavroula Varella-Barker on Saturday 10 October.

✨ Special offer: Enjoy two Tarkovsky films and the talk for just £25 ✨

Upcoming films by Tarkovsky:
🎬 Nostalghia - 12 October
🎬 Andrei Roublev - 18 October
🎬 The Sacrifice - 25 and 29 October
