Our last film of the season is a real gem. 'All We Imagine as Light' came top in Sight and Sound magazine's 50 best films of 2024. Peter Bradshaw in the Guardian gave it 5 stars and in his review wrote:
"It is both dreamlike and like waking up from a dream. This is a glorious film."
And Rotten Tomatoes' critics consensus said:
"Capturing the here and now of modern India with the spontaneity of a candid photograph, All We Imagine as Light is a lustrous achievement......."
We hope you're able to join us at the screening on Sunday night.

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.

28/01/2026

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 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:

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.
