Lucy Fenwick Elliott speaks to Pierre Coffin, the director of Illumination's new film Minions & Monsters, as well as the voice of the Minions across the Despicable Me and Minions franchises.

Minions & Monsters introduces us to two new faces from an entirely new tribe of Minions, James and Henry. We meet them and their rambunctious friends in the distant past as they search far and wide for an evil master to serve.

Eventually they reach the 1920s, and wind up crashing a Hollywood film set. Their brief and accidental appearance on camera pays off – and before they know it, the Minions are bona-fide movie stars. But their 15 minutes of fame are soon up (they can't follow the script when all they speak is Minionese!) and they find themselves roaming the streets of Hollywood looking for a new, villainous purpose.  

But James and Henry have a different plan: they have fallen in love with making movies, and want to make one of their own! With the help of a spell book taken from an evil sorcerer they used to work for, James and Henry summon some fearsome monsters to play the villains in their movie...

Lucy Fenwick Elliott talks to director Peter Glanz about his new film, Savage House - in cinemas now.

Set against the backdrop of 18th century England, a massive Pox outbreak, and Jacobite Uprising - this is a timely and darkly satirical story of Sir Chauncey Savage (Richard E. Grant) and Lady Savage’s (Claire Foy) blind pursuit of a better life.

It is not without a tinge of irony that their family name is the Savages, for this is a Savage House indeed. Filled with duels, decadence, and bloodshed, this is a madcap play on class and power.

Lucy Fenwick Elliott talks to director Daniel Roher and actor Leo Woodall about their new film, Tuner. Now showing at Picturehouse Cinemas.

In Tuner, Academy Award-winning director Daniel Roher’s first narrative feature, Leo Woodall stars as a gifted young piano tuner whose heightened sense of hearing draws the attention of criminals, who see his talents as useful for opening safes as for tuning Steinways.

With his once-promising musical career over, he works across New York with his mentor Harry Horowitz (Academy Award-winner Dustin Hoffman), encountering a range of characters, including composition student Ruthie (Havana Rose Liu), with whom he forges an unexpected connection. Niki’s safecracking work threatens his budding romance with Ruthie and pulls him into increasingly dangerous territory.

Sam Clements talks to legendary actor Ian McKellen about his starring role in Steven Soderbergh's The Christophers, in cinemas now.

What is the value of art? Does it reside in personal expression? Cultural longevity? Financial worth? These questions fuel Steven Soderbergh’s gloriously entertaining comedy, THE CHRISTOPHERS. Written by Ed Solomon, featuring an all star cast, including Micheala Coel, Jessica Gunning and James Corden - alongside Ian McKellen.

Julian Sklar (McKellen) was once a star of London’s 1960’s and 70’s pop art explosion, but he hasn’t painted in decades and has been broke for years.

His two estranged children, desperate for an inheritance, hire Lori, an art restorer and former forger (Coel), to pose as a prospective assistant in order to access unfinished canvases Julian has buried deep in storage.

A sharp and remarkable tale of creativity, legacy, and avarice.

Lucy Fenwick Elliott talks to director David Frankel about making his hugely anticpated new film, The Devil Wears Prada 2, in cinemas now.

The iconic – and iconically vicious – Editor-in-Chief of Runway magazine, Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) is watching the publishing world fall apart.

As her retirement nears, she finds herself facing off against Emily Charlton (Emily Blunt), her one-time assistant turned high-powered executive, who's sitting on advertising dollars that Priestly desperately needs.

To bring Runway back to life, her right-hand man Nigel (Stanley Tucci) turns to an unlikely new hire: Miranda's other former assistant, the once-unfashionable Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway). Twenty years after making their iconic turns as Miranda, Andy, Emily and Nigel, Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci return to the fashionable streets of New York City and the sleek offices of Runway Magazine in The Devil Wears Prada 2, the eagerly awaited sequel to the 2006 phenomenon.

That's all.

Hope Hopkinson talks to writer-director Mark Jenkin about his new film, Rose of Nevada, starring George MacKay and Callum Turner.

‘A Cornish modern classic. Eerie, heart-breaking, wonderful.’

— Mark Kermode

When a fishing boat, the Rose of Nevada, lost with all hands 30 years ago, mysteriously reappears in the old harbour of a forgotten Cornish village, for those who remember, it’s surely a sign. The boat must go out to sea again and maybe then the luck of the devastated village will turn. Young father Nick (George MacKay) and enigmatic newcomer Liam (Callum Turner) join captain Murgey (Francis Magee), and they head to sea.

But when they return, satisfied with their haul, something is amiss — they’ve slipped back in time, and the villagers greet them as if they are the original crew.

Rose of Nevada is Cornish filmmaker Mark Jenkin’s hotly anticipated and critically acclaimed follow-up to his BAFTA-award-winning first feature Bait (2019) and Enys Men (2022).

Unique among British feature filmmakers for the analogue way in which he crafts his films, Jenkin once again serves as writer, director, director of photography, editor, sound designer and score composer.

Hope Hopkinson talks to director Francois Ozon, about his new film, The Stranger.

In 1930s Algeria, the apathetic Meursault (Benjamin Voisin) shows total indifference to life. His emotional detachment leads to a murder, followed by a trial that scrutinises both the crime and his character. Based on the monumental work of literature by Albert Camus, Francois Ozon's The Stranger was selected for the oﬃcial competition at the Venice Film Festival and UK-premiered at the London Film Festival.

Lucy Fenwick Elliott speaks to the team behind California Schemin' including director and co-star James McAvoy, as well as the films' stars Samuel Bottomley, Séamus McLean Ross, Rebekah Murrell and Lucy Halliday.

Based on an outrageous true story, CALIFORNIA SCHEMIN’ is a wild ride through ambition, identity, and the high-stakes world of musical make-believe. In the early 2000’s, Dundee rappers Gavin Bain and Billy Boyd were talented, hungry, but dismissed for sounding "too Scottish" to make it in hip hop. So they hatched an audacious plan: fake American identities, re-record their tracks with Californian accents, and hustle their way into the heart of the UK music industry as “Silibil N’ Brains”—childhood friends of D12 and stars-in-the-making. To their shock, the plan works. Record deals, media buzz, and gigs with hip hop legends follow. But as their deception deepens, the pressure mounts and cracks begin to show. How long can you live the dream when it’s built on a lie? With bold humour, raw emotion, and a defiant spirit, CALIFORNIA SCHEMIN’ is a love letter to outsiders, underdogs, and the pursuit of fame—but asks, at what cost.

Lucy Fenwick Elliott talks to director Bart Layton about his new film, Crime 101.

Set against the sun-bleached grit of Los Angeles, Crime 101 weaves the tale of an elusive jewel thief (Chris Hemsworth) whose string of heists along the 101 freeway have mystified police. When he eyes the score of a lifetime, his path crosses that of a disillusioned insurance broker (Halle Berry) who is facing her own crossroads.

Clare Binns talks to filmmaker Ira Sachs about his new film Peter Hujar's Day live on stage at the Duke's at Komedia cinema in Brighton.

Ben Whishaw and Rebecca Hall star in the stunning new film from Ira Sachs, a richly cinematic rendering of the meeting of acclaimed photographer Peter Hujar and writer and artist Linda Rosenkrantz.

Recorded in 1974, Hujar describes the routines and rituals that define an artist's life, capturing a single day's activities in touching and funny detail: from interactions with cultural icons of the day, including Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs and Susan Sontag, to the texture and energy of downtown New York in its heyday.

Both elegant and intimate — and a dazzling showcase for the two performers at its centre — PETER HUJAR’S DAY is both a masterful portrait of a time and place and a captivating film about the way art emerges from the intimate details of everyday life.

Hope Hopkinson talks to filmmaker Jafar Panahi about his Palme d'Or winning film, It Was Just An Accident.

The story begins when Vahid (Vahid Mobasseri), a mechanic in a Tehran garage, is visited by Eghbal (Ebrahim Azizi) whose car has been in an accident. The distinctive squeak of Eghbal’s prosthetic leg makes Vahid suspect the stranger is the sadist who tortured him in prison. Those suspicions are enough for Vahid to take Eghbal captive and dig him a grave in the desert.

What follows is a riveting moral thriller that unflinchingly addresses censorship, authoritarianism and human rights abuses, powered throughout by a relentless momentum and the indelible craft of a master auteur. Yet it is also a film that contrives to be deeply and movingly humane, not least in the way it derives dark humour from its knotty scenario.

Felicity Beckett talks to filmmaker Kevin Smith about his classic movie, Dogma, currently getting the 4K re-release treatment in cinemas.

Twenty-five years ago, Kevin Smith unleashed Dogma, a sharp, irreverent religious satire that sparked conversation, controversy, and cult fandom around the world.

A reluctant abortion clinic worker (Linda Fiorentino) is tasked with stopping them, guided by a heavenly host that includes the last scion of Christ, a muse, a pair of prophets, and the voice of God.With its razor-sharp dialogue, philosophical underpinnings, and genre-blending boldness, Dogma remains as provocative and funny now as it was in 1999, if not more so.

Hope Hopkinson talks to director Athina Rachel Tsangari and actor Herry Melling about their new film, Harvest.

The latest feature from celebrated filmmaker Athina Rachel Tsangari (Chevalier, Attenberg), HARVEST is a spellbinding and thrillingly distinctive period piece like no other. Telling a story steeped in folk horror, and featuring another strikingly memorable performance from Caleb Landry Jones (Nitram), Tsangari presents a study of superstition, the trauma of modernity, and the looming threat of the outsider.

Set over seven hallucinatory days in an undefined era, an idyllic rural Scottish village with no name faces a period of great uncertainty when the community’s traditional way of life is suddenly disrupted by seismic economic turmoil. Townsman-turned-farmer Walter Thirsk (Landry Jones) and local landowner Master Kent (Harry Melling, The Tragedy of Macbeth) are childhood friends who lay witness to a series of unexpected invaders from the outside world, whose arrival brings about irrevocable – and potentially damaging – change.

Adapted from Jim Crace’s Booker Prize-nominated novel and co-starring Rosy McEwen, Arinzé Kene, Thalissa Teixeira, and Frank Dillane, HARVEST is an eerie, atmospheric and deeply immersive cinematic experience, blending beautifully textured storytelling with an exploration of what happens when people decide what a society should be.

Hope Hopkinson talks to director Joseph Kosinski and producer Jerry Bruckheimer about their new film, F1: The Movie.

Dubbed 'the greatest that never was', Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt) was Formula 1’s most promising racer of the 1990s – until an accident on the track nearly ended his career.

Thirty years later, he’s a nomadic racer-for-hire when he’s approached by his former teammate Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem), owner of a struggling Formula 1 team that is on the verge of collapse.

Ruben convinces Sonny to come back to Formula 1 for one last shot at saving the team and being the best in the world.

He’ll drive alongside Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris), the team's hotshot rookie, intent on setting his own pace. But as the engines roar, Sonny’s past catches up with him and he finds that in Formula 1, your teammate is your fiercest competition—and the road to redemption is not something you can travel alone.

Shot during actual Grand Prix weekends as the team competes against the titans of the sport, Top Gun: Maverick's Joseph Kosinski brings the same death-defying, edge-of-the-seat thrills to the world of racing in F1: The Movie.

Lucy Fenwick Elliott speaks to director Dean DeBlois about his new film How To Train Your Dragon.

From three-time Oscar® nominee and Golden Globe winner Dean DeBlois, the creative visionary behind DreamWorks Animation’s acclaimed How to Train Your Dragon trilogy, comes a stunning live-action reimagining of the film that launched the beloved franchise.

On the rugged isle of Berk, where Vikings and dragons have been bitter enemies for generations, Hiccup (Mason Thames; The Black Phone, For All Mankind) stands apart. The inventive yet overlooked son of Chief Stoick the Vast (Gerard Butler, reprising his voice role from the animated franchise), Hiccup defies centuries of tradition when he befriends Toothless, a feared Night Fury dragon. Their unlikely bond reveals the true nature of dragons, challenging the very foundations of Viking society.

With the fierce and ambitious Astrid (BAFTA nominee Nico Parker; Dumbo, The Last of Us) and the village’s quirky blacksmith Gobber (Nick Frost; Snow White and the Huntsman, Shaun of the Dead) by his side, Hiccup confronts a world torn by fear and misunderstanding.

As an ancient threat emerges, endangering both Vikings and dragons, Hiccup’s friendship with Toothless becomes the key to forging a new future. Together, they must navigate the delicate path toward peace, soaring beyond the boundaries of their worlds and redefining what it means to be a hero and a leader.

Felicity Beckett talks to co-director Sam Rice-Edwards about his new film, co-directed with Kevin McDonald, One To One: John & Yoko.

On August 30, 1972, in New York City, John Lennon played his only full-length show after leaving The Beatles, the One to One benefit concert at Madison Square Garden, a rollicking, dazzling performance from him and Yoko Ono.

Macdonald’s riveting documentary takes that legendary musical event and uses it as the starting point to explore eighteen defining months in the lives of John and Yoko. By 1971 the couple was newly arrived in the United States— living in a tiny apartment in Greenwich Village and watching a huge amount of American television.

The film uses a riotous mélange of American TV to conjure the era through what the two would have been seeing on the screen: the Vietnam War, The Price is Right, Nixon, Coca-Cola ads, Cronkite, The Waltons.

As they experience a year of love and transformation in the US, John and Yoko begin to change their approach to protest — ultimately leading to the One to One concert, which was inspired by a Geraldo Rivera exposé they watched on TV.

Filmed in a meticulously faithful reproduction of the NYC apartment the duo shared, ONE TO ONE: JOHN & YOKO offers a bold new take on a seminal time in the lives of two of history’s most influential artists.

Sam Clements and Hope Hopkinson and speak to director Tim Fehlbaum and actors Peter Sarsgaard and John Magaro about their new film September 5.

September 5 unveils the decisive moment that forever changed media coverage and continues to impact live news today.

Set during the 1972 Munich Summer Olympics, the film follows an American Sports broadcasting team that quickly adapted from sports reporting to live coverage of the Israeli athletes taken hostage.

Through this lens, "September 5" provides a fresh perspective on the live broadcast seen globally by an estimated one billion people at the time.

At the heart of the story is Geoff (John Magaro), a young and ambitious producer striving to prove himself to his boss, the legendary TV executive Roone Arledge (Peter Sarsgaard). Together with German interpreter Marianne (Leonie Benesch) and his mentor Marvin Bader (Ben Chaplin), Geoff unexpectedly takes the helm of the live coverage. As narratives shift, time ticks away, and conflicting rumors spread, with the hostages' lives hanging in the balance, Geoff grapples with tough decisions while confronting his own moral compass.

Hope Hopkinson talks to filmmaker Leigh Whannell about his new film, Wolf Man.

From Blumhouse and visionary writer-director Leigh Whannell, the creators of the chilling modern monster tale The Invisible Man, comes a terrifying new lupine nightmare: Wolf Man. Golden Globe nominee Christopher Abbott (Poor Things, It Comes at Night) stars as Blake, a San Francisco husband and father, who inherits his remote childhood home in rural Oregon after his own father vanishes and is presumed dead. With his marriage to his high-powered wife, Charlotte (Emmy winner Julia Garner; Ozark, Inventing Anna), fraying, Blake persuades Charlotte to take a break from the city and visit the property with their young daughter, Ginger (Matlida Firth; Hullraisers, Coma). But as the family approaches the farmhouse in the dead of night, they’re attacked by an unseen animal and, in a desperate escape, barricade themselves inside the home as the creature prowls the perimeter. As the night stretches on, however, Blake begins to behave strangely, transforming into something unrecognizable, and Charlotte will be forced to decide whether the terror within their house is more lethal than the danger without.

Sam Clements talks to filmmakers Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui about thier new film Super/Man: A Christopher Reeve Story, in cinemas now.

The story of Christopher Reeve is an astonishing rise from unknown actor to iconic movie star, and his definitive portrayal of Clark Kent/Superman set the benchmark for the superhero cinematic universes that dominate cinema today.

Reeve portrayed the Man of Steel in four Superman films and played dozens of other roles that displayed his talent and range as an actor, before being injured in a near-fatal horse-riding accident in 1995 that left him paralyzed from the neck down.

After becoming a quadriplegic, he became a charismatic leader and activist in the quest to find a cure for spinal cord injuries, as well as a passionate advocate for disability rights and care - all while continuing his career in cinema in front of and behind the camera and dedicating himself to his beloved family.

From the directors of McQueen, Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui, this film includes never-before-seen intimate home movies and an extraordinary trove of personal archive material, as well as the first extended interviews ever filmed with Reeve’s three children about their father, and interviews with the A-list Hollywood actors who were Reeve’s colleagues and friends.

The film is a moving and vivid cinematic telling of Reeve’s remarkable story.

Felicity Beckett talks to director Pablo D'Ambrosi about his new film Food For Profit.

Food For Profit is the first feature documentary that exposes the links between the meat industry, lobbying, and the corridors of power. A five-year investigation that denounced how Europe is transferring hundreds of billions of taxpayers’ money into the hands of intensive farms, which mistreat animals, pollute the environment, and pose a potential danger for future pandemics. Directors Giulia Innocenzi and Pablo D’Ambrosi, along with their team of investigators, take us on an enlightening but shocking journey across Europe, where they confront farmers, corporations, and politicians.

Travelling across Europe, they infiltrate farms across Europe, exposing the truth behind the perceived excellence of European dairy and meat production whilst also infiltrating high level powers in Brussels and gaining shocking information.

Green Screen is a community-led space to discuss the environmental issues raised in the films we show. Everyone is invited to continue the conversation after the film in the cinema's bar or cafe – enjoy a free tea or filter coffee when you bring a keep cup!

Lucy Fenwick Elliott speaks to Alice Lowe, the writer, director and star of Timestalker, as well as the film's leading men, Nick Frost and Aneurin Barnard.

Timestalker is a bawdy reincarnation rom-com romp that will take you back to the past, and then into the future.

From the creative team behind Prevenge comes a romantic comedy about the eternal humiliation that is the search for love, spanning the most romantic epochs of history right into the future.

Timestalker follows hapless heroine Agnes (Lowe) through time as she repeatedly falls for the wrong guy, dies a grim death, gets reincarnated a century later, before meeting him again and starting the cycle anew. It is one story told over many periods, all with the messy thrills and spills that come with daring to follow your heart. Or maybe your loins...

Agnes’ only hope in avoiding this violent fate is by finally reaching spiritual enlightenment; but how can she ever wise up when she’s destined to be a fool for love? Some lessons are just too hard to learn in one lifetime.

Slowly the mystical land enters her inner world and – one day at a time – Rona finds hope and strength in herself among the heavy gales and the bracingly cold sea.

Lucy Fenwick Elliott speaks to director Ellen Kuras about her new film Lee, cinemas now, starring Kate Winslet.

LEE tells the story of Lee Miller, American photographer.Determined to document the truth of the Nazi regime, and in spite of the odds stacked against female correspondents, Lee captured some of the most important images of World War II, for which she paid an enormous personal price. The film is not a biopic, instead it explores the most significant decade of Lee Miller’s life.

As a middle-aged woman, she refused to be remembered as a model and male artists’ muse. Lee Miller defied the expectations and rules of the time and travelled to Europe to report from the frontline.There, in part as a reaction to her own well-hidden trauma, she used her Rolleiflex camera to give a voice to the voiceless.

What Lee captured on film in Dachau and throughout Europe was shocking and horrific.Her photographs of the war, its victims and its consequences remain among the most significant and historically important of the Second World War.She changed war photography forever, but Lee paid an enormous personal price for what she witnessed and the stories she fought to tell.

Freda Cooper talks to actors Stephen Fry and Lena Dunham about their new film, Treasure, which is in cinemas right now.

TREASURE is an impactful and moving film from writer/director Julia Von Heinz based on the book Too Many Men by Lily Brett. The film is the third in von Heinz’s ‘Aftermath Trilogy’ exploring the legacy of Germany’s Nazi past following 2013’s Hanna’s Journey and And Tomorrow the Entire World, Germany’s 2020 Oscar submission. It stars Lena Dunham (“Girls,” Sharp Stick) and Stephen Fry (V For Vendetta, Wilde).

A father-daughter road trip set in 1990s Poland, TREASURE follows Ruth (Dunham), an American music journalist, and her father, Edek (Fry), a charmingly stubborn Holocaust survivor, on a journey to his homeland. While Ruth is eager to make sense of her family’s past, Edek embarks on the trip with his own agenda. This emotional, funny culture clash of two New Yorkers exploring post-socialist Poland is a powerful example of how reconnecting with family and the past can be an unexpected treasure.

Picturehouse’s Hope Hopkinson talks to director David Leitch and producer Kelly McCormick about their new film, The Fall Guy.

Colt Seavers (Oscar® nominee Ryan Gosling – Barbie, Drive) is a battle-scarred stuntman who, having left the business a year earlier to focus on both his physical and mental health, is drafted back into service when the star of a mega-budget studio movie—being directed by his ex, Jody Moreno (Emily Blunt, Oppenheimer, A Quiet Place)—goes missing. While the film’s ruthless producer (Emmy winner Hannah Waddingham; Ted Lasso), maneuvers to keep the disappearance of star Tom Ryder (Golden Globe winner Aaron Taylor-Johnson; Bullet Train) a secret from the studio and the media, Colt performs the film’s most outrageous stunts while trying (with limited success) to charm his way back into Jody’s good graces. But as the mystery around the missing star deepens, Colt will find himself ensnared in a sinister, criminal plot that will push him to the edge of a fall more dangerous than any stunt.

Felicity Beckett speaks to directors Rachel Ramsay and James Erskine about Copa 71, in cinemas from 8 March.

It is August 1971. Football teams from England, Argentina, Mexico, France, Denmark and Italy are gathering at Mexico City’s sun-drenched Azteca Stadium. The scale of the tournament is monumental: lavish sponsorship, extensive TV coverage, merchandise on every street corner and crowds of over 100,000 hollering fans turn this historic stadium into ‘a cauldron of noise and heat’ match after match. A fawning media treat the players like rock stars. The atmosphere is reminiscent of the greatest moments in international footballing history.

But this is a tournament unlike anything that’s happened before. The players on the pitch are all women. And it’s likely you’ve never even heard of it. This is Copa 71, the unofficial Women’s World Cup. Dismissed by both FIFA and domestic football associations around the world, this event has been entirely written out of history. Until now.

A 1920s English seaside town bears witness to a dark and absurd scandal in this riotous mystery comedy.

When Edith and fellow residents begin to receive wicked letters full of unintentionally hilarious profanities, foulmouthed Rose is charged with the crime. The anonymous letters prompt a national uproar, and a trial ensues. However, as the town's women - led by Police Officer Gladys Moss (Anjana Vasan) - begin to investigate the crime themselves, they suspect that something is amiss, and Rose may not be the culprit after all.

Monk (Jeffrey Wright), a frustrated novelist, is fed up with the establishment profiting from 'Black' entertainment that relies on tired and offensive tropes. To prove his point, Monk uses a pen name to write an outlandish “Black” book of his own, a book that propels him to the heart of hypocrisy and the madness he claims to disdain.

Cord Jefferson's hilarious directorial debut, American Fiction confronts our culture’s obsession with reducing people to outrageous stereotypes.

One night in his near-empty tower block in contemporary London, Adam (Andrew Scott) has a chance encounter with a mysterious neighbor Harry (Paul Mescal), which punctures the rhythm of his everyday life.

Joe is about to be released from a detention centre. Should the judge approve his discharge, he will return to society and an uncertain life on the other side of the security fence. But when a new detainee, William, arrives in his facility, Joe starts to question his desire for freedom.

Featuring stand-out performances from Khalil Gharbia (Peter von Kant) and Julien De Saint Jean (Lie With Me), filmmaker Zeno Graton’s acclaimed first feature THE LOST BOYS is a compelling and sensitively observed portrait of burgeoning masculinity and queer sexuality.

Guest host Michael Urwin talks to director Agniia Galdanova about Queendom, in cinemas now.

Gena, a queer artist from a small town in Russia, dresses in otherworldly costumes made from junk and tape, and protests the government on the streets of Moscow.

Born and raised on the harsh streets of Magadan, a frigid outpost of the Soviet gulag, Gena is only 21.

She stages radical performances in public that become a new form of art and activism.

By doing that, she wants to change people’s perception of beauty and queerness and bring attention to the harassment of the LGBTQ+ community.

The performances - often dark, strange, evocative, and queer at their core - are a manifestation of Gena’s subconscious. But they come at a price.

Felicity Beckett speaks to director Christopher Morris about our latest Green Screen film, A Year In The Field, coming to select Picturehouse Cinemas soon!

From Winter Solstice 2020 to Winter Solstice 2021, a string of unprecedented worldwide climate disasters, met by weak global political resolve, are revealed as fleeting moments under the ever-present, unflinching granite gaze of the Longstone: an ancient monolith that has stood sentinel in a Cornish field for millennia.

Part provocation, part meditation, part invocation, BAFTA-winning documentarian Christopher Morris’ A Year In A Field invites us to slow down as he films for twelve months in the Longstone's field. As the wheel of the year turns, Morris’ 'eco-sophical' polemic unearths a mythic reality buried just below the soil of our consumerist age, suggesting, perhaps, that whilst time may feel like it’s running away at an ever-increasing rate, it’s not too late to pause, reflect, and change.

Mother and daughter Grace and Ama have established a deep bond that’s protected them from outsiders, but as they try to settle in Glasgow, things begin to change.

Ama’s approaching adolescence and growing curiosity set off reminders of a past that Grace has been trying to erase.

The comforting fairytale-like story that Grace has been telling Ama for years is shaken by the memories — their sheltered world begins to erode from the inside.

To give them both a chance to really start living, Grace has to let Ama grow up.

Host Sam Clements speaks to costume designer Jacqueline West and Osage wardrobe consultant Julie O’Keefe about working on the new film by Martin Scorsese, Killers Of The Flower Moon, in cinemas now.

At the turn of the 20th century, oil brought a fortune to the Osage Nation, who became some of the richest people in the world overnight. The wealth of these Native Americans immediately attracted white interlopers, who manipulated, extorted, and stole as much Osage money as they could before resorting to murder.

Based on a true story and told through the improbable romance of Ernest Burkhart (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Mollie Kyle (Lily Gladstone), “Killers of the Flower Moon” is an epic western crime saga, where real love crosses paths with unspeakable betrayal.

Also starring Robert De Niro and Jesse Plemons, “Killers of the Flower Moon” is directed by Academy Award winner Martin Scorsese from a screenplay by Eric Roth and Martin Scorsese, based on David Grann’s best-selling book.

Felicity Beckett speaks to director Dylan Hewitt about his new film, The Nettle Dress, which is playing at Picturehouse Cinemas as part of our Green Screen programme.

Textile artist Allan Brown spends seven years making a dress by hand just from the fibre of locally foraged stinging nettles.

This is ‘hedgerow couture’, the greenest of slow fashion but also his medicine. It’s how Allan survives the passing of his wife, leaving him and their four children bereft, and how he finds a beautiful way to honour her.

Stunningly filmed by award-winning documentary maker Dylan Howitt, The Nettle Dress follows Allan's journey through seasons and years, foraging, spinning, weaving, cutting and sewing the cloth, before finally sharing a healing vision of the dress back in the woods where the nettles were picked, worn by one of his daughters.

A labour of love in the truest sense, The Nettle Dress is a modern-day fairytale and hymn to the healing power of nature and slow craft. It’s one story representing a huge groundswell of people rediscovering the joys of making. Actor Mark Rylance called the film “Exquisite and inspiring, beautiful and helpful for anyone suffering loss or grief”.

Host Flick Beckett speaks to director Alastair Evans about his new film, A Crack In The Mountain, in cinemas from 26 May.

Hang Sơn Đoòng which translates as “mountain river cave”, is located in the Phong Nha-Kẻ Bàng National Park in Quảng Bình Province in Vietnam. The national park is also a UNESCO world heritage site.

First found in 1990 by a local farmer, it wasn’t explored until 2009 when a British expedition team rigged ropes and descended down.

Many people have described Sơn Đoòng as a lost world. It has its own lake, jungle and even a unique weather system.

In 2014 plans were announced to build a cable car into Sơn Đoòng.

With many arguing that this would destroy the cave’s delicate eco-system and the local community divided over the benefits this development would bring, the film follows those caught up in the unfolding events.

The documentary also uses the narrative as a lens through which to investigate related themes such as the challenges of modern day exploration, environmental conservation & sustainability, and the perils of operating as an activist in a country such as Vietnam where freedom of speech is severely curtailed.

Felicity Beckett speaks to director Shekhar Kapur about his new film, What’s Love Got To Do With It?

For documentary filmmaker Zoe (Lily James), swiping right to find Mr Right has only delivered bad dates and funny anecdotes, much to her opinionated mother Cath's (Emma Thompson) dismay.

For her childhood friend and neighbour Kazim (Shazad Latif), the answer is to follow his parents' example and opt for an assisted marriage with a bright and beautiful bride from Pakistan.

As Zoe films his hopeful journey from London to Lahore to marry a stranger, chosen by his parents, she begins to wonder if she might have something to learn from a different approach to finding love.

Sam Clements speaks to actor Bae Doona, star of Hirokazu Kore-eda’s Broker - in cinemas now.

Bae Doona’s answers are translated by Seh Hyun Rho.

On a rainy night in Busan, So-young (Lee ‘IU’ Ji-eun) leaves her baby Woo-sung outside a ‘baby box’, a safe place set up in Korean churches for new mothers to leave unwanted infants. Instead, he’s picked up by Sang-hyun (Parasite’s Song Kang-ho) who runs an unofficial adoption brokerage and plans to find him a new home.

So-young tracks down both Sang-hyun and his business partner Dong-soo (Gang Dong-won) and decides to join their pursuit (alongside a seven-year-old stowaway from a nearby orphanage), but as they search for Woo-sung’s new family, the unlikely group evolves into something of a family themselves – unaware they’re being tailed by two detectives (Bae Doona, Lee Joo-young) who are determined to stop them.

Heartwarming, funny and moving, BROKER is the outstanding new film from Hirokazu Kore-eda, the acclaimed director of Shoplifters.

Felicity Beckett speaks to legendary Belgian directors Jean-Pierre Dardenne and Luc Dardenne about their new film Tori and Lokita, in cinemas now.

This Cannes award-winner by the renowned Dardenne brothers is a moving and typically uncompromising drama about two teenage migrants trying to build a new life.

Tori and Lokita are living in Belgium after surviving a dangerous journey together from West Africa.

Though they have a close relationship, they aren’t related but pretend to be siblings so that Lokita can secure her residence papers.

Desperate to pay the traffickers who smuggled them into Europe and send money to relatives, they supplement their wages from restaurant work by selling drugs. But Tori and Lokita - beautifully played by first-time actors Pablo Schils and Joely Mbundu - are ill-equipped to deal with an uncaring and predatory world, and events soon spin out of their control.

Felicity Beckett talks to director Maria Schrader about her new film She Said, in cinemas now.

This powerful investigative drama - inspired by true events - depicts how two New York Times reporters uncovered the widespread sexual abuse of women by Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein.

Adapted from the book by journalists Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey, She Said charts their months of painstaking research.

They gradually piece together a horrifying trail of systemic misconduct that leads to Weinstein but must overcome a culture of silence and fear, and the non-disclosure agreements that prevent many survivors from speaking out.

Carey Mulligan and Zoe Kazan capture the dedication and commitment of the duo with conviction - they are determined to support each other, and the women whose experiences they have uncovered.

The notable cast also includes Patricia Clarkson and Samantha Morton.

With a nod to the likes of Spotlight and All the President’s Men, this is a gripping account of a pivotal cultural moment that helped to mobilise the #MeToo movement.

Howard and Marshall will also join us in person at the Fulham Road Picturehouse, on 16 November. Tickets here.

They’ll be screening From Dusk Till Dawn, and joining the audience for a Q&A and book signing.

In an on-stage Q&A the pair talk movies and monsters, sharing stories and pictures from behind the scenes of From Dusk Till Dawn, then you'll have the opportunity to buy a copy of Masters of Make-Up Effects – which the authors will be happy to sign.

With a foreword from visionary filmmaker Guillermo del Toro and an afterword by Seth MacFarlane, Masters of Make-up Effects is a revealing celebration of a century of iconic make-up magic: a lively, affectionate and candid oral history of iconic make-up effects, from the artists who create and apply them to the actors who bring them to life

Sam is joined by writer-director Chris Butler from Laika Studios to discuss the 10th anniversary re-release of ParaNorman.

As a co-writer of Coraline and the co-director of Flushed Away respectively, Chris Butler and Sam Fell had just the credentials to create arguably the most innovative 3D animation to date.

Employing a unique hybrid of CGI and stop-motion technology, ParaNorman tells of a town besieged by rudely awakened and rather irate zombies.

The town’s only hope of salvation is Norman, a boy blessed with the ability to understand the zombies’ language (voiced by Kodi Smit-McPhee, in a role that could hardly be more different from his character in The Road).

As he battles with ghosts, witches and moronic adults as well as the living dead, Norman’s supernatural powers are entertainingly stretched to their limits, and the film’s breathtaking pace is further enhanced by stellar voicing from the likes of John Goodman, Elaine Stritch and Casey Affleck.

Host Felicity Beckett speaks to Steve Coogan and Philippa Langley about their new film, The Lost King.

In 2012, having been lost for over 500 years, the remains of King Richard III were discovered beneath a car park in Leicester.

The search had been orchestrated by an amateur historian, Philippa Langley, whose unrelenting research had been met with incomprehension by her friends and family and with scepticism by experts and academics.

The Lost King is the life-affirming true story of a woman who refused to be ignored and who took on the country's most eminent historians, forcing them to think again about one of the most controversial kings in England's history.

Host Felicity Beckett speaks to director Jono McLeod about his new film, My Old School, in cinemas now.

The astonishing true story of Scotland's most notorious imposter. It's 1993 and 16 year old Brandon is the new kid in school. Soon he’s top of the class, acing exams and even taking the lead in the school musical. He’s the model pupil, until he's unmasked...

In 1993, 16 year old Brandon Lee enrolled at Bearsden Academy, a secondary school in a well-to-do suburb of Glasgow, Scotland. What followed over the next two years would become the stuff of legends. Brandon had been privately tutored in Canada while he accompanied his mother, an opera diva, on tour before her tragic death.

The preternaturally bright student surprised teachers by blazing toward his goal of entering medical school, displaying a wealth of knowledge beyond his years. Brandon found friends despite his initial awkwardness.

He took bullied students under his wing, introduced classmates to seminal retro bands, and even starred in the school's production of South Pacific. But then his unbelievable secret was revealed.

Filmmaker Jono McLeod returns to his old school for a nostalgic look at the strange but true story of his former classmate, Brandon Lee. Utilizing playful, period-specific animation, a pitch-perfect soundtrack, the memories of students and teachers, and the talents of Alan Cumming to bring the tale to life, My Old School offers more than one surprise along the way.

But he’s gone now, and Nancy has a plan: she will find adventure with a sex worker named Leo Grande (Daryl McCormack). In an anonymous hotel room Nancy greets Leo. He looks every bit as good as his picture, but what Nancy wasn’t expecting was conversation as well as fornication. Leo has a view on everything, and though he may not always tell the truth, Nancy finds she likes him. And he likes her. With growing sexual confidence, Nancy starts to relax. Over the course of three rendezvous, the power dynamics shift and their well-worn masks begin to slip.

Felicity Beckett talks to the creative team behind a-ha: The Movie.

a-ha’s hit Take On Me is still one of the most played songs of the last millennium. This documentary follows the band over a period of four years, sharing the full story of how three young men followed their impossible dream of making it big.

When Take On Me reached number 1 on Billboard in the US in 1985 that dream came true. Almost 35 years after their breakthrough, a-ha still creates magic on stage with their melancholic and timeless music. They tour the world but drive in separate cars and stay apart backstage.

They only meet on stage, while doing the one thing they love. The film closely portrays the challenging creative and personal dynamics of a group of three strong individuals. This is a story of great music, big ambitions, broken friendship – and maybe forgiveness.

Felicity Beckett speaks to writer Tom Prior and director Peeter Rabane about their new film, Firebird.

A special one-off screening for International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia on 17 May.

A special one-off screening for International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia.

Based on a true story during the Cold War, Firebird is a passionate love story set against the backdrop of an Air Force base in occupied Estonia during late 1970’s Communist rule. Sergey (Tom Prior), a soulful, young soldier who dreams of becoming an actor in Moscow, is counting the days until his military service ends. His life is turned upside down when he locks eyes with Roman (Oleg Zagorodnii), an enigmatic ace fighter pilot newly assigned to his base.

Driven by their undeniable attraction, Sergey and Roman navigate the precarious line between love and friendship at a time when Soviet men in uniform caught having a sexual affair was met with the severest punishment.

As their friendship grows into love, the men risk their freedom and their lives to be together in the face of an all-seeing Communist regime.

Felicity Beckett talks to writer, director and actor Leah Purcell about her new film, The Drover’s Wife: The Legend Of Molly Johnson, in cinemas now.

In 1893, heavily pregnant Molly Johnson (Leah Purcell) and her children struggle to survive the harsh Australian landscape after her husband leaves to drove sheep in the high country. One day, she finds an escaped Indigenous Australian convict (Rob Collins) wounded on her property and an unlikely bond begins to form between them.

Meanwhile, new town lawman Nate Clintoff realises that Molly's husband is missing and sends his constable to investigate. A thrilling tale that explores racism and misogyny under colonial rule, and a labour of love for Purcell, who has also adapted Henry Lawson’s short story into a play and a novel.

Film critic Elena Lazic talks to director Gaspar Noé about his new film Vortex, in cinemas now.

The latest feature from Gaspar Noé is a tender and undeniably powerful exploration of loneliness and love. Having debuted to widespread acclaim at the Cannes Film Festival, it focuses on an elderly couple (played by Françoise Lebrun and Dario Argento) who spend their days in a Paris apartment. Both love and care for each other, but are grappling with the early stages of dementia.

Presented in split-screen, we follow the couple as they go about their daily routines both together and alone. As everyday tasks become more challenging, forgetfulness shifts to something more troubling and their son (Alex Lutz) struggles to care for them as they enter a vortex of mental and physical degeneration. Compelling and moving in equal measure, this is a departure for Noé – but in terms of scope and ambition, it is one of his finest works to date.

This is a documentary that chronicles the life of Julia Child.

Using never-before-seen archival footage, personal photos, first-person narratives, and cutting-edge, mouth-watering food cinematography, the film traces Julia Child’s surprising path, from her struggles to create and publish the revolutionary Mastering the Art of French Cooking (1961) which has sold more than 2.5 million copies to date, to her empowering story of a woman who found fame in her 50s, and her calling as an unlikely television sensation.

There’s only one problem: he’s never played a round in his life.

Based on a remarkable true story, The Phantom Of The Open is the laugh-out-loud, effortlessly charming story of an underdog’s piece of British sporting history.

Special episode hosted by Felicity Beckett to celebrate the release of The Duke, in cinemas now. Felicity is first joined by actor Jim Broadbent and then followed by the writers of the film, Richard Bean and Clive Coleman.

In 1961, Kempton Bunton, a 60-year old taxi driver, stole Goya’s portrait of the Duke of Wellington from the National Gallery in London. It was the first (and remains the only) theft in the Gallery’s history. Kempton sent ransom notes saying that he would return the painting on condition that the government invested more in care for the elderly - he had long campaigned for pensioners to receive free television. What happened next became the stuff of legend.

Only 50 years later did the full story emerge - Kempton had spun a web of lies. The only truth was that he was a good man, determined to change the world and save his marriage - how and why he used the Duke to achieve that is a wonderfully uplifting tale.

Film critic Amon Warmann interviews Pedro Almodóvar about his new film, Parallel Mothers, in cinemas now.

Special thanks to Anna Bogutskaya for translating during the interview.

When two mothers, Janis (Penelope Cruz, Pain and Glory and Murder on the Orient Express) and Ana (Milena Smit), give birth on the same day, a close link develops between the two of them. Janis, middle-aged, doesn’t regret it and is exultant. The other, Ana, an adolescent, is scared, repentant and traumatised. Janis tries to encourage her while they move through the hospital corridors. The few words they exchange in those hours becomes the foundation of a complex relationship that will change their lives.

A favourite subject of director Pedro Almodovar (Pain and Glory, Volver), the imperfect mothers of Parallel Mothers form a diverse and authentic family in our modern times.

Felicity Beckett talks to director Sonita Gale about her new film, Hostile.

Hostile is a feature-length documentary focusing on the UK’s complicated relationship with its migrant communities. Told through the stories of four participants from Black and Asian backgrounds, the film focuses on the impact of the evolving ‘hostile environment’ policies that target migrants. The film explores how the lives of international students, members of the Windrush generation, and ‘Highly-Skilled Migrants’ have been affected. What does it mean to be British? What does it feel like to be told you don’t belong? With Brexit, the Points Based Immigration System and the Borders and Nationality Bill taking effect, the film asks: once the ‘hostile environment’ has targeted all migrants, who will it extend to next? This film seeks to hear these voices and inspire viewers to take action to create long-term change.

Felicity Beckett talks to director Kenneth Branagh about his new film, Belfast.

Adapted from memories of growing up in 1960s Ireland, Kenneth Branagh’s heartwarming, crowd-pleasing Belfast follows young Buddy (Jude Hill) and his loving family (Judi Dench, Ciarán Hinds, and more) who find themselves living in a world suddenly turned upside down. But despite the family’s struggles, joy, laughter, music and the formative magic of the movies remain.

Felicity Beckett talks to Andrea Arnold, on Zoom, about her new film Cow.

Director Andrea Arnold (American Honey, Fish Tank) steps into the realm of documentary with Cow, a portrait of life on a dairy farm – and one cow whose journey she follows for several years. Luma’s day-to-day is captured almost from her perspective, following her through the calving process, the rearing of animals, intensive milking sessions, an all-too-brief grazing period and, eventually, the inevitable, dreaded end – all captured by Arnold’s deeply empathetic, unwavering gaze.

Felicity Beckett talks to director Will Sharpe about his new film, The Electrical Life of Louis Wain.

After his father's death, Louis Wain (Benedict Cumberbatch, The Imitation Game) is left alone to look after his five sisters and his mother.

Three things set him on a more colourful path: he’s offered a job as an illustrator by a prestigious magazine editor, he meets and falls in love with his sisters’ new governess (Claire Foy), and the pair of them adopt a stray cat they name Peter, whose presence inspires him to take a new and extraordinary artistic turn.

Film critic Hanna Flint talks to legendary director Paul Thomas Anderson about his new film, Licorice Pizza. In UK cinemas now!

California’s San Fernando Valley, 1973. Gary Valentine (Cooper Hoffman) is a precocious high schooler and child star who meets - and is immediately besotted with - Alana (Alana Haim), a twenty-something photographer’s assistant trying desperately to find herself.

The two of them form an unlikely bond, and soon begin running around the Valley together taking part in Gary’s many haphazard schemes.

In rural Iceland, a childless couple - with one half played with a quiet intensity by Noomi Rapace (The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo) - exist quietly on their patch of farmland, isolated from the world and from each other.

But Jesse brings with him a new perspective and, as the unlikely pair travel from state to state, effectively turns the emotional tables on Johnny.

Inside Picturehouse host Felicity Beckett sits down with director Pablo Larraín to talk about his new film, Spencer. In cinemas now.

Christmas has arrived at the Queen’s Sandringham Estate – not far from the childhood home of Princess Diana (Kristen Stewart), whose arrival at the estate for the season’s festivities is met with trepidation from all sides. Rumours of infidelity and divorce are flying, but a few days of peace is settled on, for the sake of both public decorum and the fractured family’s young sons. Diana knows the role she has to play – but will she succumb to its pressures?

From Pablo Larraín, director of Jackie, Spencer imagines three days in the beguiling, tragic life of one of the most famous women in the world.

Sam Clements talks to writer-director Edgar Wright about his new film, Last Night In Soho starting Anya Taylor Joy and Thomasin McKenzie.

Eloise (Thomasin McKenzie, Jojo Rabbit) is a young woman in modern London, passionate about fashion design but feeling out of touch with her lifestyle. One night, a mysterious force somehow transports back in time to 1966, where she finds her idol-slash-muse – a blonde, beguiling pop singer named Sandy (Anya Taylor Joy, The Queen’s Gambit).

Captivated by the sights and sounds of her new life, including encountering the roguish Jack (Matt Smith), Eloise is lured in, but slowly begins to realise that the past is not what it appears to be – with chilling consequences. From director Edgar Wright (Baby Driver, Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World), Last Night In Soho is a mysterious psychological horror filled with stylishly suspenseful secrets

Felicity Beckett is joined by actor Lyna Khoudri for this special mini podcast, to talk about her work with Wes Anderson in The French Dispatch. The film is in cinemas now.

A star-studded anthology from the colourfully coordinated mind of Wes Anderson, The French Dispatch sets its scene in the fictional French city of Ennui-sur-Blasé, where the expat editorial staff of The Liberty, Kansas Evening Sun (Elizabeth Moss, Jason Schwartzman, Tilda Swinton and more) compile stories of European intrigue for their readers back home, led by their dedicated, eccentric editor (Bill Murray). One is the tale of a malevolent bearded convict (Benicio del Toro) whose surprising talent for portraiture captures the wandering eye of the art community. Another is a portrait of a student revolutionary (Timothée Chalamet) and the journalist (Frances McDormand) assigned to him; the third, a gangster odyssey involving a mishap-filled kidnapping performed by a low-level crook (Edward Norton).

Fresh out the box, Ron’s malfunctioning – but when Ron defends Barney from playground bullies with his mischievous mishaps, Barney decides that keeping Ron around despite his faults might be exactly what he needs.

Director Shawn Levy (Night at the Museum, Real Steel) stops by to talk about his latest film, Free Guy. Playing at Picturehouse cinemas this August.

Guy (Ryan Reynolds) is an ordinary guy in an extraordinary world: he’s an NPC (non-playable character) in Free City, an expansive and brutal open world video game, only he doesn’t know it. His days are spent working as a bank teller, standing by and letting the game’s heroes do their jobs, until one day something changes. Outside of the game, a pair of programmers (Killing Eve’s Jodie Comer and Stranger Things' Joe Keery) insert a new code that allows Guy to gain a deeper awareness of his surroundings – and before he knows it, he joins forces with the programmers’ in-game counterparts to save his video game home before it gets deleted forever.

Best-selling author Jojo Moyes stops by to talk about the film adaptation of her novel, The Last Letter From Your Lover.

Adapted from Jojo Moyes’ best-selling novel, THE LAST LETTER FROM YOUR LOVER is a passionate, dual-narrative love story set in the French Riviera and London during the 1960s and present day. It tells the tale of elegant Jennifer Stirling (Shailene Woodley) and how her life becomes inextricably interwoven with that of Ellie Haworth (Felicity Jones) in life-changing events which connect them across almost half a century.

Jennifer lives a luxurious life with her wealthy and powerful husband Laurence (Joe Alwyn). When an unfortunate event wipes her memory, she struggles to find her identity until she stumbles upon wistful love letters hidden in her home. The passionate notes unravel a star-crossed love affair she had with foreign correspondent Anthony O’Hare (Callum Turner) and ultimately lead her to discover her true self. Jennifer’s story becomes intertwined with that of Ellie, a whip-smart journalist in contemporary London, who discovers and becomes enthralled by these love letters from a bygone era. As she begins to piece them together with the help of archivist Rory (Nabhaan Rizwan), she sets off on a journey that will entangle the two women’s lives forever.

Set in a suburban fantasy world where dragons are house pets and unicorns are common pests, Pixar’s Onward follows two teenage elf brothers on a quest to spend one last day with their father.

Neither Ian nor Barley Lightfoot (Tom Holland and Chris Pratt) are old enough to remember their dad, who died when they were very young, but the unexpected gift of a wizard’s staff gives them the chance to revive his spirit for 24 hours. After their first attempt at sorcery goes wrong and only resurrects a pair of sentient trousers, Ian and Barley go an adventure across fairy-tale suburbia to complete the spell and fulfil their wish of meeting the father they never knew.

Corporate environmental defence attorney Rob Bilott (Mark Ruffalo) has just made partner at his prestigious Cincinnati law firm, in large part due to his work defending Big Chem companies. Soon he’s contacted by two West Virginia farmers who believe that the local DuPont plant is dumping toxic waste which is destroying their fields and killing their cattle. Hoping to learn the truth, Bilott, with help from his supervising partner in the firm, Tom Terp (Tim Robbins), files a complaint that marks the beginning of an epic 15-year fight – one that will not only test his relationship with his wife, Sarah (Anne Hathaway) but also his reputation, his health and his livelihood.

Sam Clements talks to actor George Mackay (1917, Pride) about his new film True History Of The Kelly Gang. In cinemas now.

Based on Peter Carey’s Booker Prize-winning novel, Justin Kurzel’s True History Of The Kelly Gang shatters the mythology surrounding Ned Kelly to reveal the essence behind the life of the notorious icon.

Hero to some, outlaw to others, Kelly throws a long shadow over a specific period of Australian history. Spanning his life from his younger years to the time leading up to his death, the film explores the story behind this legendary figure.

Nurtured by the notorious bushranger Harry Power (Russell Crowe) and fuelled by the unfair arrest of his mother (Essie Davis), Kelly (George MacKay, 1917) recruits a wild bunch of warriors to plot a campaign of anarchy and rebellion that will grip the entire country. Youth and tragedy collide in the Kelly Gang, and at the beating heart of this tale is the fractured and powerful love story between a mother and son.

Sam Clements talks to Emily Beecham about her role in the new film by director Jessica Hausner, Little Joe.

Little Joe follows Alice (Emily Beecham), a single mother and dedicated senior plant breeder at a corporation engaged in developing new species. She has engineered a special crimson flower, remarkable not only for its beauty but also for its therapeutic value: if kept at the ideal temperature, fed properly and spoken to regularly, this plant makes its owner happy. Against company policy, Alice takes one home as a gift for her teenage son, Joe. They christen it ‘Little Joe’. But as their plant grows, so too does Alice’s suspicion that her new creation may not be as harmless as its nickname suggests.

Sam Clements talks to director Michael Winterbottom about his new film, Greed.

Steve Coogan stars in a gleefully grotesque satire about the filthy rich.

Set in the glamorous and celebrity-filled world of luxury fashion, Greed is a fictional story about the rise and fall of a British retail mogul, as seen through the eyes of his biographer (David Mitchell). To save his reputation after a damaging public inquiry, self-made billionaire Sir Richard McCreadie (Coogan) decides to throw a spectacular 60th birthday party on the Greek island of Mykonos. But as the guests arrive in the build-up to the bash, McCreadie’s empire begins to fall apart.

Felicity Beckett talks to director Cathy Yan about her new film, Birds of Prey: And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn.

Scene-stealer Margot Robbie stars as DC Comics’ Harley Quinn in an all-female superhero adventure. Since the events of Suicide Squad, Batman has disappeared, leaving Gotham City unprotected from crime, and Harley has left the Joker. When a young girl comes across a diamond belonging to crime lord Black Mask (Ewan McGregor), Harley joins forces with Black Canary, Huntress and Renee Montoya to help protect her. Always dangerously unpredictable, can Harley’s mildly psychotic imagination and her vigilante colleagues win the day?

Sam Clements is joined by cinema programmers Carol McKay and Codie Entwistle to discuss the results of the BAFTAs and Bong Joon-Ho's new film, Parasite. In cinemas now.

A glorious success and box-office hit for Korean auteur Bong Joon-ho (Snowpiercer, Okja) and already the most successful Palme d'Or winner ever, Parasite is a politically charged cinematic wonder. Described by Bong himself as "a comedy without clowns and a tragedy without villains", the film moves quickly from one tone to another, mixing pathos and satire with thrills and drama. A vertical story of class struggle – punctuated by staircase scenes going from mouldy basements to top floors, from darkness to breezy spaces designed by star architects – Parasite observes and dissects with surgical precision the life of two families of different social backgrounds.

Ki-taek (Song Kang-ho) is a good-for-nothing, unemployed family man, patriarch of a family of grifters – his wife Chung-sook (Chang Hyae-jin), his clever twenty-something daughter Ki-jung (Park So-dam), and his son Ki-woo (Choi Woo-shik) – who live in an overcrowded, sordid basement. The Parks, on the other hand, live in a fabulous house with their teenage daughter Da-hye and terribly spoiled son Da-song, who has suffered a childhood trauma that occasionally causes him seizures and strange behaviour. When, due to an unexpected stroke of luck, Ki-woo is hired by the Parks to be the private English tutor of Da-hye, the destinies of the two families cross. Their explosive meeting exposes the merciless evils of class inequalities, culminating in a powerful and utterly original outcome.

Sam Clements talks to director Robert Eggers about his new film, The Lighthouse. In cinemas now.

Acclaimed filmmaker Robert Eggers (The Witch) returns with a hypnotic and hallucinatory tale of two lighthouse keepers clinging onto their sanity on a mysterious New England island in the 1890s. Ephraim Winslow (Robert Pattinson) and Tom Wake (Willem Dafoe) are beginning a four-week stretch of duty at the lighthouse. The two men veer wildly between enmity, comradeship, father-son intimacy and hatred. But they are keeping secrets from one another and, on this wind-lashed, uttermost spot, the tension mounts. Visually stunning, stark and unforgiving.

★★★★★ “A swirling descent into madness that takes the breath away… you can almost taste the salt on your lips.” – Time Out

Sarah Cook talks to director Trey Edward Shults about his new film Waves.

The latest film from Trey Edward Shults (Krisha, It Comes At Night) is a heartrending story about the universal capacity for compassion and growth even in the darkest of times. Set against the vibrant landscape of South Florida and featuring an astonishing ensemble of award-winning actors and breakouts alike, Waves traces the emotional journey of a suburban African-American family – led by a well-intentioned but domineering father – as they navigate love, forgiveness and coming together in the aftermath of a loss.

Sarah Cook talks to Dean-Charles Chapman, co-star of Sam Mendes's new film 1917.

Sam Mendes’ visceral and immersive vision of the First World War battlefields.

In a race against time, they must cross enemy territory and deliver a message that will stop hundreds of soldiers – Blake’s own brother among them – from walking into a deadly trap.

In cinemas now.

Sam Clements talks to director Paul Feig about his new movie, Last Christmas.

Scripted around the songs of George Michael, this boy-meets-girl meet-cute tale is set to become a perennial favourite for the holiday season. Kate (Emilia Clarke, GAME OF THRONES) is down on her luck. She mopes around London, one bad hair day after another. After a spell in hospital, she’s had to move back in with her mother (Emma Thompson), and from day to day, she’s plagued by the jangly bells on her shoes – an irritating reminder that she’s working as an elf in a year-round Christmas shop. When soup kitchen volunteer Tom (Henry Golding, CRAZY RICH ASIANS) walks into her life and starts to see a way through Kate’s mishaps, it all seems too good to be true. As London transforms into the most wonderful time of the year, nothing should work for these two. But sometimes, you gotta let the snow fall where it may, you gotta listen to your heart … and you gotta have faith.

Sarah Cook talks to director Bill Condon about his new film, The Good Liar.

Legendary actors Helen Mirren and Ian McKellen star together on screen for the first time in this smart and suspenseful thriller directed by Bill Condon (Mr Holmes, Gods And Monsters). Career con artist Roy Courtnay can hardly believe his luck when he meets well-to-do widow Betty McLeish online.

Felicity Beckett talks to celebrated screenwriter Paul Laverty about his new film, Sorry We Missed You, directed by Ken Loach, in cinemas now.

Set in Newcastle, Ken Loach’s new tale of predicament is about a family struggling to get on the housing ladder. In the Loach tradition, it’s fierce, open and angry: a film about the real human cost of our economic development.

Ricky is a labourer, proud of never having been on the dole, and his wife, Abby, is a contract nurse and carer. Despite working longer and harder, they realise they will never have independence or their own home. As their debts increase and as Abby faces exploitative pressures at work, even for a strong, loving family, life is becoming toxic. So, when the app revolution offers Ricky a golden opportunity, it’s now or never.

Aspiring singer-songwriter Jack Malik (Himesh Patel) is struggling with his career. He’s just a man with big dreams and a guitar, loved and supported by his childhood best friend, Ellie (Lily James); and he’s far from famous. Until one day, during a mysterious global blackout, a car hits him and he comes round to find that nobody remembers The Beatles – apart from him! Feeling obliged to bring the legendary melodies of the Fab Four back to life, and with a little help from his steely American agent (Kate McKinnon), Jack rises to global stardom faster than you can say, ‘I believe in yesterday.’ But he may have taken on more than he can handle.

Sam Clements talks to Toy Story 4 producers Mark Nielsen and Jonas Rivera about Pixar Animation Studio's latest animated adventure.

It’s back – the jewel in Pixar’s crown and the story that changed cinema forever. The adventures of Woody, Buzz and the gang continue in another rollercoaster of a movie, which promises to pull on the heartstrings and tickle the funny bones of kids and grown-ups alike.

Woody (Tom Hanks) has always been confident about his place in the world, and that his priority is taking care of his kid, whether that’s Andy or Bonnie. So when Bonnie’s prized but reluctant new toy, a disposable spork called Forky (Tony Hale), runs away during a family vacation, Woody and friends begin a quest to bring him back where he belongs. On their ensuing road-trip adventure alongside new faces and old friends, the charismatic pull-string cowboy learns just how big the world can be for a toy.

John-Paul Pierrot makes his podcast debut, interviewing Academy Award-winning director Asif Kapadia about his new film, Diego Maradona.

Having never won a major tournament, ailing football giant SSC Napoli had criminally underachieved. Their fanatical support was unequalled in both passion and size. None were more feared, but they longed for success.

On 5 July 1984, Diego Maradona arrived in Naples for a world-record fee, and for seven years all hell broke loose. It was a perfect match: the world’s most celebrated footballer, blessed on the field but cursed off it, and the most dysfunctional city in Europe.

The charismatic Argentine quickly led the club to their first-ever title. In the sprawling chaos of Naples, where the devil would have needed bodyguards, Maradona became bigger than God himself. But there was a price: Diego could do as he pleased while performing miracles on the pitch, but when the magic faded he became almost a prisoner of the city.

Made by the award-winning team behind SENNA and AMY, using over 500 hours of never-before-seen footage from Maradona’s personal archive, this is the wild and unforgettable story of God-given talent, glory, despair and betrayal, of corruption and ultimately redemption.

Beanie Feldstein and Kaitlyn Dever join Flick to talk about their new film Booksmart, directed by Olivia Wilde.

Hedonism before high school ends is the subject of actress Olivia Wilde’s joyous directorial debut, a fresh and modern coming-of-age comedy with superb turns from Feldstein (Lady Bird) and Dever.

As the mystery of what happened onboard the ship is unraveled, father and daughter must rely on each other to survive as they hurtle toward the oblivion of a black hole.

Sarah Cook talks to director Steve Sullivan about his new film Being Frank: The Chris Sievey Story. Playing at Picturehouse Cinemas now.

A tender, funny and balanced documentary about maverick Manchester comedian Frank Sidebottom, and the life and art of his hidden creator, the wayward genius Chris Sievey.

Frank Sidebottom, remembered fondly as the man with the papier-mâché head, was the court jester of the Manchester music and comedy scene for over 25 years, but only a privileged few knew the man inside.

Calling on extensive archive material from Chris’s personal collection, including home movies, notebooks, art and music, and valuable insights from his family, friends and colleagues, Being Frank tells a twisted tale of split personalities: a suburban superhero with a fanatical desire to preserve the myth he created, who would eventually have to battle against being consumed by his alter ego.

Sarah Cook talks to Winston Duke, the co-star of Jordan Peele's new film Us.

After the roaring success of 2017’s Get Out, Jordan Peele hits us with another provocative helping of horror. US chronicles a family’s trip away to an idyllic beach house in Santa Cruz, California. Lupita Nyong’o plays mother Adelaide, who knew the seaside venue as a child, and Winston Duke plays her husband, Gabe. As night draws in, four mysterious people appear, holding hands in the driveway of their lodging. They’re not just any intruders, but are grotesque and menacing doppelgängers of the family themselves. Tranquillity gives way panic and fear, and the family break descends into nightmarish uncertainty. Who are these creatures? Where did they come from? What do they want?

Sam Clements and Noa Meshorer talk to Lucas Hedges about his new film Ben Is Back, in cinemas now.

Maiden tells the inspirational story of how Tracy Edwards, a 24-year-old cook on charter boats, became the skipper of the first ever all-female crew to enter the Whitbread Round the World Race in 1989.

Tracy’s dream met opposition on all sides: her male competitors thought an all-women crew would never make it; the chauvinistic yachting press took bets on her failure; potential sponsors rejected her, fearing they would die at sea and generate bad publicity. But Tracy refused to give up: she re-mortgaged her home and bought a second-hand boat, putting everything on the line to ensure the team made it to the start line. With the support of her remarkable crew, she went on to shock the sport and prove that women are the equal of men.

Sam Clements talks to directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck about their new film, Captain Marvel.

She soon finds herself risking her career and family to nurture his talent.

Sam talks to director Susanna White about her new film Woman Walks Ahead, playing Picturehouse Cinemas' Discover Tuesday slot on 26 February.

Based on true events, Woman Walks Ahead tells the story of Catherine Weldon (Jessica Chastain), a widowed artist from New York who, in the 1880s, traveled alone to North Dakota to paint a portrait of Chief Sitting Bull (Michael Greyeyes). Her arrival at Standing Rock is met with open hostility by a US Army officer (Sam Rockwell), who has stationed troops around the Lakota reservation to undermine Native American claims to the land. As Catherine and Sitting Bull grow closer, and as their friendship—and his life—are threatened by government forces, Catherine must stand up and fight for what is most important to her.

Sam Clements and Sarah Cook talk to director Mimi Leder and co-star Armie Hammer about their new film, On The Basis Of Sex.

The true story of the pioneering lawyer Ruth Bader Ginsburg (Felicity Jones), her struggles for equal rights in law and what she had to overcome in order to become a female US Supreme Court Justice – the second-ever woman in such a position.

The film focuses on the first sex discrimination case that Ruth Ginsburg took on, in the early 1970s, when she represented Charles Moritz (Chris Mulkey), a Colorado man looking after his elderly mother who was denied a tax benefit routinely given to women caring for family members. From that moment, Ruth was on a quest to banish sex discrimination in law. This film is about that legal crusade but is also about the woman at home with her children, and a portrait of Ruth’s extraordinary marriage to Marty Ginsburg (Armie Hammer). On the Basis Of Sex tells the story of a fascinating woman, with compelling insights into the arguments of our time.

Corrina Antrobus talks to writer-director Nadine Labaki about her awards-winning new film, Capernaum.

In a courtroom, a young boy named Zain (Zain Al Rafeea) stands before a judge. He asks to sue his own parents for giving him life. The circumstances that have brought him to this point take us on a journey through his poverty-stricken upbringing in Beirut where he lives with his family.

Forced to live by his wits in order to survive, Zain’s life reaches a turning point when his parents make an unforgivable deal that will see his younger sister married off. Left distraught by this terrible act, Zain takes to the road. While looking for work at a fairground, he befriends a young woman who is working illegally as a cleaner and helps to look after her adorable one-year-old baby, Jonas. Zain and Jonas form a touching bond but things get much more complicated when circumstances force Zain to make choices that will have huge ramifications.

Capernaum is a tribute to the resilience of the human spirit – a battle cry for the forgotten, the unwanted and the lost that offers hope in the most unexpected of places.

Sarah Cook talks to director Matthew Heinoman about his new film A Private War.

Please note there was an issue with the sound during the recording. We're sorry for the inconvenience, we've restored it as best we can.

A Private War tells the extraordinary and incredibly moving story of one of the most celebrated war correspondents of all time, Marie Colvin. In a world where journalism is under attack, Colvin (played by an outstanding Rosamund Pike) is an utterly fearless and rebellious spirit, driven to the frontlines of conflicts across the globe to give voice to the voiceless, while testing the limits between bravery and bravado. Her mission to show the true cost of war leads her – along with renowned war photographer Paul Conroy (Jamie Dornan) – to embark on the most dangerous assignment of their lives in the besieged Syrian city of Homs.

Felicity Beckett talks to Kenneth Branagh about his new film All Is True.

Not content to stop at his legendary Shakespeare roles and acclaimed productions of the bard’s plays, Kenneth Branagh now directs a film about the playwright’s last years, in which he stars as the man himself.

The year is 1613. Shakespeare is acknowledged as the greatest writer of the age. Disaster strikes when his renowned Globe Theatre burns to the ground, and a devastated Shakespeare returns to Stratford to face a troubled past and a neglected family. Haunted by the death of his only son Hamnet, he struggles to mend the broken relationships with his wife and daughters. In so doing, he is ruthlessly forced to examine his own failings as husband and father. His very personal search for the truth uncovers secrets and lies within a family at war.

Featuring turns from British acting legends Judi Dench and Ian McKellen, All Is True is a beguiling mix of fact and fiction about England’s greatest poet.

Sam talks to writer-director Barry Jenkins about his Oscar and BAFTA nominated new film, If Beale Street Could Talk.

Adapted from James Baldwin’s powerful novel by Moonlight director Barry Jenkins, If Beale Street Could Talk is a lyrical celebration of love, both familial and romantic, told through the prism of a young African-American couple’s struggle for justice in 1970s Harlem. At the centre of the story is Tish, a newly engaged woman who races against the clock to prove her lover’s innocence while carrying their first-born child to term.

Jenkins’ elegant third feature sings with soulful performances from a largely unknown cast, and paints a wonderful portrait of New York against a backdrop of social change and injustice. It’s a dreamy, sometimes heartbreaking tale of love against impossible odds, and a timely reminder that compassion can be a force of nature.

In cinemas now.

Sam talks to writer-director Robert Rodriguez about his new film Alita: Battle Angel.

When Alita (Salazar) awakens with no memory of who she is in a future world she doesn’t recognise, she’s taken in by Ido (Waltz), a compassionate doctor who realises that somewhere in this abandoned cyborg shell is the heart and soul of a young woman with an extraordinary past.

As Alita learns to navigate her new life and the treacherous streets of Iron City, Ido tries to shield her from her mysterious history while her street-smart new friend Hugo (Johnson) offers instead to help trigger her memories. But it’s only when the deadly and corrupt forces that run the city come after Alita that she discovers a clue to her past – she has unique fighting abilities that those in power will stop at nothing to control.

Sam talks to writer-director Wash Westmoreland about his new film Colette, in cinemas now.

A radiant Keira Knightley (Atonement, Anna Karenina) gives a career-best performance in this exhilarating, entertaining and timely film about the life of groundbreaking French novelist Colette, best known for Gigi.

In Belle Époque France, Colette’s marriage to Henry ‘Willy’ Gauthier-Villars (Dominic West) thrusts her from a simple country life in Burgundy to the creative demi-monde of Paris. A notorious libertine, fourteen years older than his naive country-girl wife, Willy encourages Colette to write (at times locking her in a room until she produces more). Publishing the results under his own name, he basks in the glory bestowed upon the hugely popular ‘Claudine’ stories, actually penned by his wife.

Theirs is a complex marriage, depicted with intelligence and subtlety, as are Colette’s relationships with women – including American-in-Paris Georgie Raoul-Duval (Eleanor Tomlinson) and cross-dressing noblewoman Mathilde de Morny, or Missy (Denise Gough), with whom Colette shared Paris’ first documented same-sex kiss on stage.

The themes of ownership, power, publicity and creativity are brought deliciously to life by Keira Knightley and Dominic West in this sparky, thoroughly-modern period piece. Knightley plays Colette as a sharp, unflinching heroine, struggling against the strictures of the age but never succumbing to them.

When Lee is no longer able to get published because she has fallen out of step with current tastes, she turns her art form to deception, abetted by her loyal friend Jack (Richard E. Grant).

Sarah Cook talks to director Jon S. Baird about his new film Stan & Ollie. Sarah then speaks to Shirley Henderson and Nina Adriana about their roles as Lucille Hardy and Ida Kitaeva Laurel in the movie.

Steve Coogan and John C. Reilly are brilliant as legendary movie icons Laurel and Hardy in Stan & Ollie, the charming and touching story of what would become the triumphant swansong of Hollywood’s greatest comedy double act.

Eager to reignite their film careers, they embark on a gruelling variety hall tour of Britain and Ireland. With the support of their wives Lucille (Shirley Henderson) and Ida (Nina Arianda) – a formidable double act in their own right – the duo reaffirm their love of performing, and for each other, as they secure their place in the hearts of the adoring public.

Stan & Ollie opens on 11 January.

Corrina Antrobus talks to directors Julie Cohen and Betsy West about their new film RBG.

At the age of 84, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has developed a breathtaking legal legacy while becoming an unexpected pop culture icon. But without a definitive Ginsburg biography, the unique personal journey of this diminutive, quiet warrior's rise to the nation's highest court has been largely unknown, even to some of her biggest fans – until now. RBG is a revelatory documentary exploring Ginsburg 's exceptional life and career from Betsy West and Julie Cohen, and co-produced by Storyville Films and CNN Films.

Sarah Cook talks to director Robert Zemeckis about his new film, Welcome To Marwen.

The miraculous true story of one broken man’s fight as he discovers how artistic imagination can restore the human spirit. When a devastating attack shatters Mark Hogancamp (Carell) and wipes away all memories, no one expected recovery. Putting together pieces from his old and new life, Mark meticulously creates a wondrous town where he can heal and be heroic.

As he builds an astonishing art installation—a testament to the most powerful women he knows—through his fantasy world, he draws strength to triumph in the real one. In a bold, wondrous and timely film from this revolutionary pioneer of contemporary cinema, Welcome to Marwen shows that when your only weapon is your imagination…you’ll find courage in the most unexpected place.

The epic drama is produced by Oscar®-winning producer Steve Starkey (Forrest Gump, Flight), Jack Rapke (Cast Away, Flight), and Cherylanne Martin (The Pacific, Flight) of Zemeckis’ Universal-based ImageMovers banner produce alongside the director. It is executive produced by Jacqueline Levine, as well as Jeff Malmberg, who directed the riveting 2010 documentary that inspired the film.

Welcome To Marwen is in cinemas now.

Sarah Cook talks to actor Mark Gatiss about his role in Yorgos Lanthimos's new movie, The Favourite.

The latest from Greek auteur Yorgos Lanthimos (Dogtooth, The Lobster and The Killing of a Sacred Deer) is a delightfully witty and physical comedy. It’s the early 18th Century, England are fighting the French and Olivia Colman’s Queen Anne in poor health. Vying for the Queen’s affections are her devoted friend, Lady Sarah (Rachel Weisz), and Lady Sarah’s cousin, Abigail (Emma Stone). Newly arrived at the palace and aware the Queen is charmed by her personality, the wily Abigial sees a chance to restore the social status that has been battered by her father’s ruinous wagers.

What follows is a riotous game of one-up-womanship, directed with a fierce, pacy intelligence by Lanthimos and superbly complemented by Robbie Ryan’s cinematography, Sandy Powell’s costume designs and Fiona Crombie’s spectacular sets. At the centre of this wickedly amusing tale are the three powerhouse performances from Weisz, Stone and, especially, Colman, who won the Best Actress at the Venice Film Festival for her uproarious portrayal of Queen Anne.

The Favourite is in cinemas now.

Sam talks to director Rob Marshall about his new film Mary Poppins Returns, in cinemas from 21 December.

Nearly three decades after her first visit to London, the enigmatic Mary Poppins (Emily Blunt) soars back into the capital to look after the Banks children in their time of need.

The now grown-up Jane (Emily Mortimer) and Michael Banks (Ben Whishaw) are living in the same house on Cherry Tree Lane, along with Michael’s three children and their housekeeper Ellen (Walters).

The family are in danger of losing their home, and Michael is struggling after a personal loss, but the practically perfect nanny returns just in time to rekindle the fun and wonder missing from their lives – with a little help from street lamplighter Jack (Lin-Manuel Miranda) and her eccentric cousin Topsy (Meryl Streep).

Boasting wonderful songs, classic 2D animation and cameos from some familiar faces, this is a delightful reunion for all to enjoy, whether you grew up with the magic or are discovering it for the first time.
