Director James Mangold (‘Walk the Line’, ‘Ford v Ferrari’) takes on the enigmatic life of Bob Dylan in a fresh, unconventional biopic. Starring Timothée Chalamet as the iconic folk singer, the film explores Dylan’s transformative journey through fame, identity and reinvention during the 1960s.

Following Dylan’s rise from a Greenwich Village poet to a global music icon, we see the chaos, ambition and uncertainty of a young artist challenging himself and his audience. Chalamet embodies Dylan’s charisma and intensity, while scenes with real-life performances and legendary figures - from Joan Baez to Johnny Cash - anchor the story in music history. Mangold’s direction blends period detail with a restless energy, making this an intimate, raw look at an artist in constant evolution.

Based on the Pulitzer Prize winning novel by Colson Whitehead, ‘Nickel Boys’ chronicles the powerful friendship between two young African American men navigating the harrowing trials of reform school together in Florida.

Elwood Curtis's (Ethan Herisse) college dream shatters alongside a two-lane Florida highway. Bearing the brunt of an innocent misstep, he's sentenced to the netherworld of Nickel Academy, a brutal reformatory sunk deep in the Jim Crow South. He encounters another ward, the seen-it-all Turner (Brandon Wilson). The two teens strike up an alliance: Turner dispensing fundamental tips for survival, Elwood, clinging to his optimistic worldview. Backdropped by the burgeoning Civil Rights Movement, Elwood and Turner’s existence appear worlds away from Rev. Martin Luther King's burnished oratory. Despite Nickel's brutality, Elwood strives to hold onto his humanity, awakening a new vision for Turner. The cinematography and production design are exceptional. This is a survivor’s coming of age story: tough, disillusioned, brilliant!

Pigen Med Nålen

A fictionalised true crime hypnotic thriller based on a real Danish case from 1921, shot in high-contrast expressionist monochrome, and nominated for the 2024 Cannes Palme d’Or.

Copenhagen 1919: Young factory worker Karoline (Vic Carmen Sonne) is struggling to survive in post WWI Copenhagen, when she finds herself unemployed, abandoned and pregnant. She meets Dagmar (Trine Dyrholm), a charismatic woman running an underground adoption agency, helping mothers to find foster homes for their unwanted children. With nowhere else to turn, Karoline takes on the role of a wet-nurse. A strong connection is formed between the two women, but Karoline's world shatters when she stumbles upon the shocking truth behind her work. Scandi noir gets a 1910s twist in this darkly gripping, unsettling tale about a woman struggling to find love and a sense of morality. Denmark’s submission to the 2025 Foreign Film Oscar category is harrowing in places, but seriously impressive. (Subtitles)

Michael Gracey (‘The Greatest Showman’) returns with a deeply personal and visually striking biopic chronicling the life of pop icon Robbie Williams.

Based on the true story of the meteoric rise, dramatic fall and remarkable resurgence of British pop superstar Robbie Williams, one of the great entertainers of modern time. The film is uniquely told from Robbie's perspective, incorporating surreal musical sequences (one medley on London’s Regent Street is jaw-dropping) and candid reflections, while capturing his signature wit and indomitable spirit. It follows his journey from childhood, to being the youngest member of chart-topping boyband Take That, through to his unparalleled achievements as a record-breaking solo artist - all the while confronting the challenges that stratospheric fame and success can bring. This wildly ambitious musical biopic also features Steve Pemberton and Alison Steadman.

For our second Film Club (18-25’s) screening of the season, we present this unquestionable cinema classic from the master Alfred Hitchcock.

Phoenix secretary Marion Crane (Janet Leigh), on the run after stealing $40,000 from her employer in order to run away with her boyfriend, Sam Loomis (John Gavin), is overcome by exhaustion during a heavy rainstorm. Traveling on the back roads to avoid the police, she stops for the night at the ramshackle Bates Motel and meets the polite but highly strung proprietor Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins), a young man with an interest in taxidermy and a difficult relationship with his mother. Featuring Bernard Herrmann’s greatest score, this is a film that is always worth another viewing, especially on the big screen. As New York’s Village Voice reported on the film’s 1960 release, “Hitchcock is the most daring avant-garde filmmaker in America today. All discerning filmgoers are advised to see ‘Psycho’ no less than three times (first for ‘the sheer terror of the experience’, again for the ‘macabre comedy’, and finally for the movie's ‘hidden meanings’."
