The programme for the 68th season opens at the Corn Exchange on Wednesday, 16th September. Full details of the final line-up of selected titles are available in the brochure and on this website and membership is now available on-line.
The programme of eighteen new releases includes a winner and nominations at this year’s Oscars as well as successes on the international film festival circuit. The season opens with The President’s Cake, a touching story set in the 1990s Iraq, a winner at the Cannes Film Festival. The programme continues with a wide range of recent world cinema titles including the first Norwegian film to win an Oscar, Sentimental Value, another Oscar nomination, It Was Just an Accident, a dark comedy subtly attacking the Iranian regime and Rebuilding, an engaging story of today’s American West, featuring the British actor, Josh O’Connor. Other titles include A Private Life with Jodie Foster giving a great performance in a French mystery caper, The Christophers with Ian McKellen in his element as a crotchety artist in a ‘witty comedy of art and avarice’, and No Other Choice, an hilarious and entertaining satire from award-winning South Korean director, Park Chan-wook.
The season opens in the New Year with The Life of Chuck a brilliant adaptation of a Stephen King’s life -affirming novella. Another title that is likely to be of interest, following the box-office success of Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, will be The Return with Ralph Fiennes as Odysseus and Juliette Binoche as Penelope.
