Director: Saul Dibb
Stars: Paul Bettany, Sam Claflin, Asa Butterfield, Toby Jones
In March 1918, an army company take their posting on a front-line trench, knowing that a German attack is imminent. With supplies as low as the men’s morale, this is no place for new recruit Raleigh (Butterfield), who has requested a placement with Stanhope (Claflin), his sister’s fiancé, now much changed through war stresses and alcohol. Director Dibb (The Duchess) captures the dread-inducing claustrophobia of the trenches in this outstanding adaptation of RC Sherriff’s 1928 play.

Director: Matteo Garrone
Stars: Salma Hayek, Vincent Cassel, Toby Jones, John C. Reilly
Based on three fairy tales by Giambattista Basile, this “fantastically mad, rigorously imagined and visually tremendous” film is certainly not one for children.
In one tale, a king and queen (Reilly and Hayek) must kill a monster to solve the problem of childlessness.
Meanwhile, another sex-mad monarch (Cassel) is tricked by an aged crone, with nightmarish results.
And Toby Jones’ king becomes obsessed with a giant flea and so jeopardises the marriage chances of his daughter.
“A carnival of black-comic bad taste” (The Guardian).
