Sunday's film is director Noora Niasara's first feature film. Set in Australia it tells the tale of a young Iranian mother and her six-year-old daughter living in an Australian women's shelter during the two weeks of the Iranian New Year (Nowruz).

The critics consensus on Rotten Tomatoes describes the film as:
'An understated yet impactful story of female empowerment'.

Hope you can make it.

This month's film is unusual; a Chinese neo-noir crime drama. Kevin Maher in The Times (UK), and quoted on the Rotten Tomatoes website wrote:

"It’s an often surreal, disquieting film, beautifully shot in shadow and rain, and with an unwavering, historically accurate commitment to cigarette smoking (almost nonstop, and even in between mouthfuls of noodles)."

7.45pm at the Broadway Cinema on Sunday, hope you can make it.

This Sunday's FilmClub screening is a rare opportunity to see James Dean on the big screen. We're showing the 1955 Hollywood classic 'East of Eden' directed by Elia Kazan and starring, along with Dean, Julie Harris and Raymond Massey.

Hope to see you there.

We have two screenings in March, the first on Sunday 1 March, the second on Sunday 15 March.

Our first film comes from Japan. 'Evil Does Not Exist' was directed by Ryusuke Hamaguchi and is set in a rural community outside Tokyo.

The Critics' Consensus on Rotten Tomatoes reads:

"Evil Does Not Exist stands on the battle lines between modern civilization and the natural world, offering a perspective that's as quietly measured as it is entrancing".

Hope you can make it.

Our next FilmClub screening is on Sunday evening when we will be showing 'Bird' (2024) directed by the award winning British Director, Andrea Arnold. The film is set in Arnold's native north Kent and stars Barry Keoghan, Franz Rogowski and new comer Nykiya Adams.

On Rotten Tomatoes the critics' consensus states:
"Director Andrea Arnold strikes a coming-of-age chord through Nykiya Adam's moving performance, marrying fantasy and reality to the dizzying end"

Sounds good to me!

*Happy New Year to all you cineastes*

Our first screening of 2026 is on Sunday 4 January when we will be showing "How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies". From Thailand, it's a bitter sweet comedy drama about legacy and inheritance. Liked by critics and the public alike it's one not to miss.

Our December film comes from Zambia. 'On Becoming a Guinea Fowl' received universal praise when it was released in 2024. As John Serba, quoted on Rotten Tomatoes, wrote:

"On Becoming a Guinea Fowl is a powerful drama with a distinctively strong and original voice and vision."

Our second screening in November is on Sunday 16th when we will be showing the 2024 Italian film 'Vermiglio'. The critics consensus on Rotten Tomatoes reads as follow:

"Painterly and patient, Vermiglio carefully observes its provincial milieu to such absorbing effect that audiences will feel like they've become a part of the community".

Hope to see you there.

FilmClub screening on 2 November is our first classic of the season. 'Tokyo Story' directed by Jasujiro Ozu and released in 1953 is a tale of complex family relationships. We follow an elderly couple as they make the long journey from their home to visit their adult children living in Tokyo. Seen by many as a cinematic masterpiece, this is a rare opportunity to see the film on the big screen.

FilmClub's October screening 'The Room Next Door' is the first English language film directed by the award winning Spanish auteur Pedro Almodovar ('Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown', 'All About My Mother', 'Talk to Her'). It stars two of today's great screen actors; Tilda Swinton and Julianne Moore. Barry Levitt of the Daily Beast in a review of the film is quoted on Rotten Tomatoes as saying:
"A gorgeous film about the unbreakable bonds of friendship. It’s slower and more contemplative than what we’ve come to expect from Pedro Almodóvar, yet this bold new avenue feels like a perfect fit".
