2024 | Dir James Mangold | 140m | USA
Stars: Timothée Chalamet, Edward Norton, Elle Fanning

Based on Elijah Ward’s 2015 book Dylan Goes Electric!, A Complete Unknown offers a captivating insight into Bob Dylan’s rise to fame, starting with his 1961 arrival in New York. James Mangold vividly depicts an extraordinary era, including key contemporaries Woody Guthrie, Joan Baez and Johnny Cash. As the American folk revival peaked, we discover why Dylan’s desire to ‘go electric’ at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival was so contentious. With outstanding performances from Timothée Chalamet as Bob Dylan and Edward Norton as his mentor Pete Seeger, this is “one of the most convincing interpretations of a musician ever” (Radio Times). Nominated for eight Academy Awards.

The Beguiled (2017 USA) 93 mins, Cert. 15

Screenings at 2.30 & 7.30

Director: Sofia Coppola
Stars: Colin Farrell, Nicole Kidman, Kirsten Dunst, Elle Fanning

Virginia.

1864.

The Civil War rages.

Teachers Martha (Kidman) and Edwina (Dunst) shelter their boarding school girls from the Civil War.

 

 

But when they take in a wounded enemy soldier (Farrell), providing refuge and tending to his wounds an air of sexual tension builds and dangerous rivalries ensue after an unexpected turn of events.

 

 

With her distinctive slow burning style, Coppola (Lost In Translation) adapts Thomas Cullinan’s 1966 novel into a darkly entertaining drama brimming with wonderfully nuanced performances.

 

Plus BRIT School Showcase film London.wav (2016, 3 mins), directed by Samuel Marino.  This montage of London images, precisely synchronised to music, launches a new partnership involving the School’s Film & Media Production department.
A different film will be shown at selected screenings each month.
 

 

Here is a link to the Review by The Guardian , which places the 2017 film alongside the 1966 novel and the 1971 Don Siegel / Clint Eastwood take on the tale.
