ALL IS TRUE (12A) – 2018 UK 101 mins

Director: Kenneth Branagh

By 1613, William Shakespeare was acknowledged as England’s foremost dramatist, yet the fiery destruction of his Globe Theatre and death of his son Hamnet led him to retreat to Stratford on Avon. Attempting to rebuild his relationship with his daughters and wife, his failings as a husband and father were laid bare… “Fiercely intelligent and poignant” (The Times), All Is True blends comedy and drama in Ben Elton’s script that fills in one of the greatest gaps in the life of the great playwright.

The programme will include our current BRIT School Showcase film Peace And Quiet (U) directed by George Hadley.

Dunkirk (2017 UK/Netherlands/France/USA) 106 mins, Cert. 12A

Director: Christopher Nolan           
Stars: Fionn Whitehead, Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, Kenneth Branagh

In May 1940 German forces rapidly advanced deep into northern France, trapping Allied troops on the beaches of Dunkirk.

 

 

 

An heroic evacuation mission, using every serviceable naval and civilian vessel that could be found, was mounted to rescue 330,000 French, British, Belgian and Dutch soldiers.

 

 

 

This meticulous yet thrilling recreation by Nolan (Memento, Inception, Interstellar and the Dark Knight trilogy) puts a group of soldiers awaiting evacuation in the centre of a vast canvas, with a striking blend of youth and experience amongst his all-British cast.

 

Here is a link to the Review in The Guardian 

The review does not have a link to a Trailer, but does include an extended interview with Nolan on the making of the film.  Meanwhile, the ‘official main’ Trailer can be seen below [fvplayer src=”https://youtu.be/T7O7BtBnsG4″]

Mindhorn (2016 UK) Cert. 15

Director: Sean Foley
Stars: Julian Barratt, Essie Davis, Andrea Riseborough, Kenneth Branagh

This web-page is a work in progress.  Content will be added in the next few days

In this lovingly crafted homage to 80s TV crime serials, Barratt (The Mighty Boosh) plays a washed-up actor struggling to rebuild his career since his hit show ‘Mindhorn’ was cancelled.

The detective who can ‘see truth’ is called back into action when an obsessed murderer demands an audience with the vintage TV character.

This crime thriller comedy had preview audiences roaring with laughter, and is sure to become a quotable cult classic with its handmade retro design and host of British talents popping up at every turn.

 

Here is a link to a Review from The Guardian which also includes a link to an interview with Barratt.
