OCTOBER THURSDAY 4 Dunkirk (12) | 2017 | 1h 46m | 11:00 AM DIRECTED BY | Christopher Nolan STARRING | Fionn Whitehead, Barry Keoghan, Mark Rylance May/June 1940. 400,000 British and French soldiers are holed up in the French port town of Dunkirk. The only way out is via sea, and the Germans have air superiority, bombing the British soldiers and ships without much opposition. The situation looks dire and, in desperation, Britain sends civilian boats in addition to its hard-pressed navy to try to evacuate the beleaguered forces. This is that story, seen through the eyes of a soldier amongst those trapped forces, two RAF fighter pilots and a group of civilians on their boat, part of the evacuation fleet.

Death of Stalin

DIRECTED BY | Armando Iannucci
STARRING | Jason Isaacs, Rupert Friend, Tom Brooke
In early-1953 Moscow, under the Great Terror’s heavy cloak
of state paranoia, the ever-watchful Soviet leader, Joseph
Stalin, collapses unexpectedly of a brain haemorrhage.
Inevitably, when his body is discovered in the following
morning, a frenetic surge of raw panic spreads like a virus
in the senior members of the Council of Ministers, as they
scramble to maintain order, weed out the competition, and,
ultimately, take power. But in the middle of a gut-wrenching
roller-coaster of incessant plotting, tireless machinations,
and frail allegiances, absolutely no one is safe; not even the
feared chief of the secret police, Lavrenti Beria. In the end,
who will prevail after the death of Stalin?

Plus Q&A with the director, David Nicholas Wilkinson.
When David Nicholas Wilkinson started working on the film
in 2016, many people advised him to make a ‘Soft Brexit’
film, not a ‘Stop Brexit’ one. By the time he finished shooting
his last scenes as late as May 2018 however, the ‘Stop Brexit’
message did not seem quite so fanciful. There was just one
Q&A WITH THE
rule on the film: everyone involved in the production had to
have voted Remain.

Matthew Bourne’s interpretation of the classic fairy tale,

dashing young RAF pilot, together just long enough to fall
in love before being parted by the horrors of the Blitz.
With Lez Brotherston’s sumptuous costumes and sets,
which won an Olivier Award for his original designs, and
lighting by Olivier Award-winning Neil Austin, Cinderella
will be performed in surround sound, designed by
Paul Groothuis, with video and projection design by
Duncan McLean and featuring a specially commissioned
recording played by a 60 piece orchestra. Matthew Bourne’s
vivid storytelling has never been more heart-stopping
and touching, and will take the audience into the heart of
Prokofiev’s magnificent score, and the sights and sounds of
war-torn London.
