MON ONCLE comes to the Star & Shadow Cinema this Thursday.

Jacques Tati’s comedy classic follows the unforgettable Monsieur Hulot as he collides with a world of futuristic gadgets, spotless suburbia and hilariously over-engineered modern living. The result is one of cinema’s funniest and most inventive visual comedies.

THURSDAY 23 JULY • 7.30PM

Doors open at 7pm. Please arrive on time. We don’t show adverts or trailers.

3 WOMEN comes to the Star & Shadow Cinema tomorrow night.

Robert Altman’s haunting masterpiece is one of the most mysterious and hypnotic films ever made. As the identities of two women begin to merge in strange and unsettling ways, reality gradually slips into dream, creating an unforgettable psychological puzzle.

Featuring extraordinary performances from Shelley Duvall, Sissy Spacek and Janice Rule, 3 WOMEN remains a singular work of American cinema that continues to fascinate nearly 50 years after its release.

End our MEXICAN FILM FESTIVAL with one of the greatest films ever to emerge from Mexican cinema.

Screening at 7.30PM, LIKE WATER FOR CHOCOLATE is the celebrated adaptation of Laura Esquivel’s bestselling novel. Blending romance, family drama and magical realism, it follows Tita, a young woman whose extraordinary gift for cooking becomes the only way she can express the love and passion that tradition forbids.

A worldwide sensation on its release, the film won 10 Ariel Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Screenplay, and remains one of the defining classics of Mexican filmmaking.

Join us for the full festival with COCO at 12.30PM and GÜEROS at 4.30PM. Book tickets to two or more films through TicketSource and receive 25% off.
