Four Mothers (15)

Four Mothers

In this delightful ‘dramedy’, struggling novelist finds himself taking care of three eccentric older women - and his own mother - over the course of one chaotic weekend in Dublin.


Edward, a novelist saddled with caring for his elderly mother, finally finds himself on the brink of literary success. With pressure to go on a US book tour mounting, the last thing Edward needs is his friends jetting off to Spain for an impromptu Pride holiday, leaving their mothers on his doorstep! Over a chaotic weekend, he has to juggle his burgeoning career with the care of four eccentric, combative, and wildly different ladies. By the time the credits roll, you will realise while the son might be in the centre of the film, it is the enigmatic mothers driving this heartwarming and witty caper.

War Paint: Women at War (PG)

War Paint: Women at War

A documentary which shines a light on the trailblazing role of women war artists, on the front lines round the world, championing the female perspective on conflict through art and asking: when it's life or death, what do women see that men don't?


Traditionally a male domain (think Eric Ravilious), war art by women has been largely unrecognized. Until now. Culture breaks the taboo, crosses borders - tells the truth to power. Artists featured include Dame Rachel Whiteread, Zhanna Kadyrova, Maggi Hambling, Assil Diab, Dame Laura Knight, Marcelle Hanselaar, Cornelia Parker, Maya Lin, Shirin Neshat and Lee Miller. An entirely female cast of contributors makes this film a unique undertaking - telling vital truths in turbulent times. This is the third instalment in Kinmonth's trilogy of films about how artists depict war, following the acclaimed ‘Eric Ravilious - Drawn to War’ (2022) and ‘War Art with Eddie Redmayne’ (2015).

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (12A)

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

In this 1980’s cult classic, a cocky high schooler is determined to enjoy an epic day skipping school around his favourite Chicago sites, enlisting his best friend and girlfriend to join him on the adventure.


Ferris Bueller (Matthew Broderick) has an uncanny skill at cutting classes and getting away with it. Intending to make one last stand before graduation, Ferris calls in sick, "borrows" a Ferrari, and embarks on a one-day adventure through the streets of Chicago. On Ferris' trail is not only his school principal Rooney (Jeffrey Jones), but also his infuriated sister (Jennifer Grey), both determined to catch him in the act. John Hughes (‘The Breakfast Club’, National Lampoon’s Vacation’ films and ‘Home Alone’ to name but a few) delivers some unforgettable scenes that have become part of social culture – the Chicago Parade scene where Ferris sings ‘Twist and Shout’ being a standout. Take advantage of this very rare opportunity to see the film on the big screen.

Two to One (PG)

Two to One

After the fall of the Berlin Wall, a communist family discovers a bunker full of money soon to be worthless. With the help of their neighbours, they embark on a race against time to enter the capitalist world in style.


In 1990 East Germans were given exactly six days after their currency was replaced by the West German Mark to exchange any ‘old’ coins and banknotes. As our East German heroes outsmart formidable opponents, the heist takes an unexpected turn when money officially unrecognized in the GDR circulates. Sandra Huller (‘Anatomy of a Fall’, ‘Zone of Interest’) takes the central role in this sentimental heist comedy, whose title was taken from the unfavourable exchange rate that was imposed on ‘Ostmark’ swaps. Look out for the amazing locations, surviving examples of socialist modern architecture, public art and stylishly hip interiors that act as backdrops to this sunny power-to-the-people crowd-pleaser.

A Real Pain (15)

A Real Pain

In the lead up to Holocaust Memorial Day (27 Jan), we present this story of mismatched cousins who reunite for a tour through Poland to honour their beloved grandmother.


David Kaplan (Jesse Eisenberg) is a married Manhattan tech worker with a young son, who decides to bid the family goodbye and take a week-long road trip to Poland with his screwup cousin Benji (an off-the-charts great Kieran Culkin), whose default mode happens to be, obnoxious. Their beloved, recently deceased grandmother yearned for them to see her native Poland and understand how she grew up in a nurturing Jewish culture and escaped a Nazi death camp. The adventure takes a turn when the odd-couple's old tensions resurface against the backdrop of their family history. This is a film that manages to be ruefully perceptive and laugh-out-loud funny, often at the same time: and that’s not easy.

Sister Midnight

A genre-bending comedy about a frustrated and misanthropic newlywed who discovers certain feral impulses that land her in unlikely situations.


A newly arranged marriage sees an oddball couple shoved together in a small Mumbai shack with paper-thin walls. They are alone, awkward and together. Cranky Uma does her best to cope with the heat, her complete lack of domestic skills, nosy neighbours and her bumbling spouse until one night she discovers strange new feral cravings. Radhika Apte is sensational in the lead role, a gifted physical comedian who puts the dead into deadpan and loads every gesture with an aggressive, almost demented slap-stick infused humour. “It's very, very sharp, very funny, and very surprising.” – Mark Kermode.

Creativity and Constraint (15)

Creativity and Constraint

Women Artists and Architects in Film


With two of the latest films about women artists screening this month, this talk, illustrated with a range of clips, will consider why this subject has been proving so popular with filmmakers.


This talk, from Professor Maggie Andrews of the cinema education team, explores cinema’s portrayal of women artists and architects, groups increasingly celebrated in films of recent years. Biopics, such as ‘Frida’ (2002) rescue women from obscurity, but do so by focusing on the complexity of these women’s personal lives, rather than their artistic significance. Alternatively, fictional dramas, including ‘Nightbitch’ (2024), suggest women’s creativity may ultimately be fuelled by the constraints of motherhood, marriage and men.

The Most Precious of Cargoes (12A)

The Most Precious of Cargoes

La Plus Précieuse des Marchandises


An unflinching but elegant Holocaust fable about a lumberjack's wife who finds an abandoned baby girl, adapted from Jean-Claude Grumberg’s 2019 novella of the same name.


Once upon a time there was a poor lumberjack and his wife who lived in a deep Polish forest. The poor woman moaned that she had no children. Day and night, trains passed through the woods. One day, as the woman was watching a train that she thought was a cargo train, a package was thrown out and fell into the snow… The film has an exquisite aesthetic, and director Hazanavicius pushes beyond the forest, into the train itself and in through the gates of the concentration camp, juxtaposing the beautiful visuals with the ugliness of mankind.

The Sinking of the Lisbon Maru (PG)

The Sinking of the Lisbon Maru

An enthralling Chinese documentary about the torpedoing of a Japanese freighter carrying 1,816 British PoWs in the second world war, excavating the emotional wreckage on all sides.


Just hours after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese began their takeover of Hong Kong, at that time under English custody. Many British soldiers were captured and, as prisoners of war, packed in ships to Japanese labour camps. One such ship was the Lisbon Maru. The film reveals the long-buried truth of the 1942 sinking where 828 Allied prisoners died. Over seven years, filmmaker Fang Li's search for the wreckage and interviews with families uncovered the heartbreaking stories of Allied prisoners, Japanese brutality and heroic Chinese fishermen.

Bernstein Triple Ballet (PG)

Bernstein Triple Ballet

New McGregor / The Age of Anxiety / New Wheeldon

ROH Ballet


This programme includes two world premieres by Resident Choreographer Wayne McGregor and Artistic Associate Christopher Wheeldon, marking each artist’s first foray into Bernstein, including a dance version of the Chichester Psalms.


Leonard Bernstein was one of the first classical composers in America to achieve both popular and critical acclaim. He was eclectic in his sources – drawing on jazz and modernism, the traditions of Jewish music and the Broadway musical – and many of Bernstein’s scores are remarkably well suited to dance. He was particularly associated with Jerome Robbins, their credits together including ‘Fancy Free’ and ‘West Side Story’. To celebrate the centenary year of the composer’s birth, The Royal Ballet united all three of its associate choreographers to celebrate the dynamic range and danceability of Bernstein’s music. At the heart of the programme is the first revival of Artist in Residence Liam Scarlett’s ‘The Age of Anxiety’, created in 2014 to Bernstein’s soul-searching Second Symphony. Both symphony and ballet are inspired by W.H. Auden’s masterful modernist poem, itself written in response to the atmosphere of disillusionment and uncertainty that followed the end of World War II.

180m inc 2 intervals



We are delighted to be able to screen this incredibly rare programme to complement Chichester Cathedral’s 950th Anniversary celebrations and the accompanying visit of the Bernstein family.

Kuraudo


A young man who resells goods online finds himself at the centre of a series of mysterious events that put his life at risk.


By tracing the fallout of an online scalper, Yushii (Masaki Suda), who gets his comeuppance from the people he’s ripped off, this modern thriller parable subverts the safety people feel when enacting cruelty from behind the screen. Yushii scams unsuspecting buyers with fake goods to make a profit, but the scammers’ schemes quickly produce a growing list of vengeful enemies… with grudges that must be settled. This riveting and highly unusual thriller is a sophisticated send-up of social commerce culture, with a second half resembling a Tarantino production. (Subtitles)

The Friend

When a solitary writer adopts and bonds with a Great Dane that belonged to a late friend, she begins to come to terms with her past and her own creative inner life.


Writer and teacher Iris (Naomi Watts) finds her comfortable, solitary New York life thrown into disarray after her closest friend and mentor (Bill Murray) dies suddenly and bequeaths her his beloved 70-kilogram Great Dane. The regal yet intractable beast, named Apollo, immediately creates practical problems for Iris, from furniture destruction to eviction notices, as well as more existential ones, his looming presence constantly reminding her of her friend's problematic choices in both life and death. Yet as Iris finds herself unexpectedly bonding with the animal, she begins to come to terms with her past, her lost friend, and her own creative inner life. Content expanded. Based on the award-winning 2018 novel, you will find a sweetness in the film that is rare in cinema today… and you may find yourself wanting to adopt a Great Dane.

April (15)

April

A fascinating, all-consuming film about a doctor in Georgia who faces serious accusations after a newborn's death.


Nina (Ia Sukhitashvili) works in a small provincial town hospital as an obstetrician-gynaecologist. Single and in abstinence from personal relationships, she is unconditionally devoted to her Hippocratic oath. When a newborn dies within seconds of being delivered under her supervision, she is accused of wrongdoings. She is well known for supplying under-the-counter contraceptive pills and carrying out unofficial, illegal abortions in outlying villages, and the grieving father – furiously and disapprovingly aware of her reputation – is now demanding an inquiry into her alleged malpractice.

Under investigation, every detail of Nina's personal and professional life is scrutinized, and despite the risks, she remains devoted to her duty as a doctor. “This is a formidable, defiantly esoteric work. It demands considerable investment from the audience, but does repay it.” – Screen International. (Subtitles)

Parthenope (15)

Parthenope

After garnering acclaim with ‘The Great Beauty’ and ‘The Hand of God’, Paolo Sorrentino, known for his stunning visuals and meditative storytelling, dives once more into themes of memory and regret, painting a story as visually stunning as it is emotionally raw.


The film’s title character, Parthenope (Celeste Dalla Porta), is a stunning young woman named after a mythological siren inextricably linked with the city of Naples, where she lounges through idle summers and on the nearby island of Capri. There, five years later, she encounters the writer John Cheever (Gary Oldman), an author she’d been reading and quoting for years. Sorentino’s last film, 2021’s ‘The Hand of God’, was a love letter to his hometown of Naples with lots of autobiographical elements, and this one removes the personal story but retains the sense that it’s a tribute to the place. ‘Parthenope’ is both a tribute to Naples and a lushly poetic reflection on the creative process, carried by unforgettable performances and a mesmerizing score. Sorrentino, as ever, delivers unforgettable, immersive and ravishing cinema. (Subtitles)

A visceral, boots-on-the-ground story of modern warfare, told like never before: in real time and based on the memory of the people who lived it.

Iris et les Hommes


A fun comedy about a woman who has everything: a wonderful husband, two perfect daughters, a successful business - but no sex life.


Iris (Laure Calamy) has a busy life with a loving husband and two daughters living in a beautiful Parisian apartment. She is a successful, if somewhat eccentric, dentist. But, and it’s a big BUT, Iris has not had sex with her husband for a long time. The spark has gone. A mother at parent-teacher night overhears Iris complaining on the phone about the lack of sex and quietly suggests she take on a lover. So “pourqoi pas?”, Iris begins to delve into the world of dating apps for married people and after an awkward start, embraces this advice with gusto. This is cheeky, joyous and a feel-good summer delight of a film which includes an all-singing all-dancing French version of ‘It’s Raining Men’ where Calamy shines bright. (Subtitles)

Anora (Mikey Madison) is a New York escort and table dancer. One night, her club manager announces that a high roller is in the house, asking for a dancer who can speak Russian. Ani, who is from an Uzbek background, volunteers. The man is the sweet-faced but otherwise appalling and entitled son of an oligarch, and he quickly takes her back to his luxurious apartment and proposes a Vegas marriage. When Vanya’s less-than-delighted father hears the news, he sends some goons round to sort out the situation with his boneheaded son. Scene-stealing leading lady Madison is surely destined for stardom thanks to her role in this high-energy panic comedy that offers a more realistic take than ‘Pretty Woman’.

Julie Keeps Quiet

Julie Zwijgt


Julie is a star player at an elite tennis academy. When her coach falls under investigation and is suddenly suspended, all of the club's players are encouraged to speak up. But Julie decides to keep quiet.


Julie (Tessa van den Broeck) dedicates her life to tennis, her sport, her training and her career. When her coach is suspended, rumours start spreading and voices, other than Julie’s, are heard. Belgian director, Leonardo Van Dijl, follows her each step of the way, always keeping the right distance. “I wanted Julie to inspire. There's a uniquely emancipatory, rebellious energy in Julie's decision not to speak, as it compels the film to respect her pace and not bow to external pressures”, Van Dijl noted. Sometimes silence is louder than words. Cast includes Ruth Becquart, Koen De Bouw, Claire Bodson and Laurent Caron. ‘A tense, absorbing film of silences and absences, of difficult terrain skirted around, of subjects avoided’ - The Guardian.

Things become even more complicated when her old flame Lucien (Pedro Pascal) shows up, and as drinks flow and secrets spill, ambition and identity clash in a sharp, unhinged look at a world obsessed with youth and fame.

I’m Still Here (15)

I’m Still Here

Ainda Estou Aqui


A mother is forced to reinvent herself when her family's life is shattered by an act of arbitrary violence during the tightening grip of a military dictatorship in Brazil.


Rio de Janeiro, 1970. The Paiva family lives in a rented house near the beach which is always full of friends. They are comfortable rather than rich, but they enjoy a different kind of wealth: an intellectual freedom and curiosity that feels increasingly precious as the Brazilian military dictatorship flexes its muscle on the streets outside. One day, men with guns come to take the father, Rubens (Selton Mello), in for questioning. In his absence, his wife Eunice (Fernanda Torres) must find a way to protect her five children and reinvent herself. Walter Salles’ (‘The Motorcycle Diaries’) superb factually-based film – he was a real-life friend of the Paiva family as a teenager – is an engrossing, affecting tribute to a formidable woman and her family. Nominated for best foreign film at the Baftas and Oscars. (Subtitles)

Michelangelo: Love and Death

Exhibition on Screen


The spectacular sculptures and paintings of Michelangelo seem so familiar to us, but what do we really know about this Renaissance giant?


Michelangelo’s genius is evident in everything he touched. Beautiful and diverse works such as the towering statue of David, the moving Pietà in the Papal Basilica of St. Peter and his tour-de-force, the Sistine Chapel ceiling, still leave us breathless today. Spanning his 88 years, we take a cinematic journey through the print and drawing rooms of Europe through the great chapels and museums of Florence, Rome and the Vatican to seek out a deeper understanding of this legendary figure’s tempestuous life, his relationship with his contemporaries and his incredible legacy. Through expert commentary, stunning visuals and Michelangelo’s own words, this film takes a fresh look at a master artist whose life and genius are celebrated in every mark he made. Returning to cinemas in 2025 to celebrate the 550th anniversary of this iconic artist’s birth.

It was at the (Mussolini-era) Venice Film Festival in 1938 that Riefenstahl scooped the top prize for ‘Olympia’, her sublime, suspect paean to the Berlin Olympics. Her career peaked, after which it plunged dramatically. Veiel’s film shows how it happened, and how she tried and failed to salvage her reputation, juxtaposing her self-portrayal with evidence suggesting awareness of the regime's atrocities. This is a captivating insight into the private estate of the filmmaker, who became world-famous with her Nazi propaganda film ‘Triumph of the Will’. (Some subtitles)

The Salt Path (12A)

The Salt Path

A husband-and-wife rediscover nature’s beauty and a renewed sense of vitality in this heartstring-pulling adaptation of a true-life tale.


Fifty-somethings Ray Winn and her husband Moth (Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs) receive a bad health diagnosis and court-ordered to vacate the only home they’ve known as a family due to insurmountable circumstances. They decide to walk the South-West Coast Path – the longest (630 miles) uninterrupted footpath in England – from Minehead to Poole along the Devon, Cornwall and Dorset coast armed only with a tent, limited supplies, very few clothes and the travelogue that inspired this trek. Helene Louvart’s excellent cinematography is a real highlight with filming locations including Padstow, Clovelly, Ilfracombe and some of the most beautiful rugged coast in the country, but do see if you can spot the scenes filmed at our very own West Wittering. This portrait of loss, humanity and rebirth is adapted from Raynor Winn’s personal memoir, with Anderson and Isaacs’ intimately textured performances standing out.

This is a joyful comedy of errors about a chosen family navigating cultural identity, queerness and family expectations. Frustrated with his commitment-phobic boyfriend Chris and running out of time, Min (Han Gi-Chan) makes a proposal: a green-card marriage with their friend Angela (Kelly Marie Tran) in exchange for her partner Lee's expensive IVF. Elopement plans are upended, however, when Min's grandmother surprises them with an extravagant Korean wedding banquet. Lily Gladstone (‘Killers of the Flower moon’) co-stars in this poignant and heartfelt reminder that being part of a family means learning to both accept and forgive.

Disability on Film


A talk which reflects on the history of disability on screen, illustrated by a range of powerful clips.


The relationship between disability and cinema is longstanding and, in this talk, Théo Rogier of the Cinema Education Team, draws on film scholarship and lived experience as a wheelchair user to explore how disability is represented on screen. Beginning with ‘Freaks’ (1932) and concluding with ‘Untouchable’ (2011), a celebrated portrait of friendship and care across class and ability, this talk invites audiences to reconsider disability, not as marginal but as central to film’s cultural legacy.

In the Mood for Love (PG)

In the Mood for Love

Fa Yeung Nin Wah


Two neighbours form a strong platonic bond after both suspect extramarital activities of their spouses. 25 years on from its release, we can safely say that this film has achieved cult-status as one of the most beautiful films on the big screen – don’t miss this rare opportunity.


In 1962, journalist Chow Mo-wan (Tony Leung Chiu Wai) and his wife move into a Hong Kong apartment, but Chow's spouse is often away on business. Before long, the lonely Chow makes the acquaintance of the alluring Su Li-zhen (Maggie Cheung Man-yuk), whose own significant other also seems preoccupied with work. As the two friends realize their respective partners are cheating on them, they begin to fall for one another; however, neither wants to stoop to the level of the unfaithful spouses. Without doubt one of the most breathtakingly gorgeous films of this century to date, dizzy with a romantic spirit that has been missing from the cinema since the 1940’s. This beautifully tailored, low key (but always dramatic) story is subtly erotic, and effortlessly cool. (Subtitles)
