Andrew Haigh / UK 2024 / 105 min / Cert 12A
This film won 7 awards at the British Independent Film Awards including best film, director and screenplay. Adam (Andrew Scott) is a screen writer living a lonely life in a London tower block. He starts to develop a hesitant relationship with Harry (Paul Mescal) another resident of the block. Adam becomes increasingly preoccupied with his early memories and is drawn back to his childhood suburban home where his parents (Claire Foy and Jamie Bell) still appear to be living just as they were 30 years before. The four leads provide tremendous performance in this stylish film. One 5 Star review describes it as ‘an enormously satisfying and affecting experience.’(The Guardian)
Justine Triet / France 2023 / 151m / Cert 15 / Subtitles Sandra Huller stars in this Palme d’Or-winning courtroom thriller directed by Justine Triet. Daniel, a partially sighted 11-year-old, finds his French father dead in the snow outside the family’s isolated chalet where they live with Sandra, a successful German writer and his mother. An inquest into the death can’t rule out foul play, indicting Sandra with Daniel as a key witness. The prosecution concentrates on Sandra’s chosen priorities over her career and the apparent deep-seated unhappiness in their marriage that might make her capable of murder. The film examines the expected role of the wife within marriage and the status of a female migrant in France.
Hirokazu Kore-eda / Japan 2023 / 126 min / Cert 12A / Subtitles
Starting with distressed single mother Saori marching into her son’s school, to berate the staff for what she understands to be bullying and physical abuse, Kore-eda’s follow-up to his award-winning films Broker and Shoplifters delicately brings us to view events from three different perspectives: mother’s, teacher’s and child’s – three differing ‘truths’ that are gradually unravelled and reconsidered, all the while reflected in a beautiful accompanying musical score. ‘One of the best movies my eyes have ever seen. Beautiful, engaging, mind-blowing and inspiring. How it’s filmed, the suspense, everything at first doesn’t make sense just to make the perfect sense at the end. I loved it with every fibre of me’ (Yasmine Idali)
James Hawes / UK 2024 / 110 min / Cert 12A
Many will be familiar with the story of Nicholas Winton who rescued 669 children from the Nazis via the ambitious Kindertransport, with the help of his firebrand mother (Helena Bonham-Carter) and a group of dedicated volunteers. The story does not end there. 50 Years later Winton (Antony Hopkins) is still haunted by the fates of those he was not able to save. An unexpected event helps him to approach making peace with the guilt and grief of his past. ‘With an all-star cast One Life is a powerful reminder of the value of individual acts in defence of human rights’ (ICO).
