In Polish with English subtitles
Anna, a young novitiate nun in
1960s Poland, is on the verge of
taking her vows when she
discovers a dark family secret dating back to the years of the Nazi
occupation. The revelation triggers a heart-wrenching journey into
the secrets of her repressed past, evoking the haunting legacy of
the Holocaust and the realities of post-war Communism.
“Pawlikowski’s film tells us a powerful, poignant story with fine,
intelligent performances from Kulwsza and Trzebuchowska.”
- The Guardian

THE WIND RISES (PG-13) Dir. Hayao Miyazaki - 2013
Japan - 2hr 6min
Starring: Peter Mullan, Emily Blunt,
John Krasinski
‘The Wind Rises’ is one of
Miyazaki’s most beautiful films -
a partly fictionalised biopic of a
Japanese aircraft Designer. This breathtakingly stunning animation
has been crafted with hand-drawn attention to detail - a rich treat
for the eyes and soul alike. Inspired by (and a tribute to) the life of
second world war Zero fighter plane designer Jiro Horikoshi, and the
writings of Tatsuo Hori.
“A work of immense mystery and strangeness, loaded with
unforgettable images, spectacular sweeps of colour and
nested, hidden meanings.” - Salon.com

Based on the bestselling 2009 debut novel by Jonas Jonasson, the
wildly whimsical narrative follows the misadventures of dynamite

from an old people’s on his 100th birthday.
“It’s a silly romp, but the loopy novelty of it is very
entertaining.” - Daily Telegraph

LEVIATHAN (15) Dir. Andrey Zvyagintsev - 2014
Russia - 2hr 20min
Starring: Elena Lyadova, Vladimir
Vdovichenkov, Aleksey Serebryakov

The latest drama from Andrey
Zvyagintsev, is a sober and
compelling tragic drama of corruption and intimidation in
contemporary Russia. The story begins on the Barents Sea as we
learn Kolia is facing the prospect his business, home and land
being taken from him. After his appeal is denied he must resort to
more aggressive tactics in hopes of keeping his land.

BOYHOOD (15)
Dir. Richard Linklater - 2014
USA - 2hr 45min
Starring: Ellar Coltrane, Ethan Hawke,
Patricia Arquette, Lorelei Linklater
Filmed over 12 years with the
same cast, Richard Linklater's
‘Boyhood’ is a groundbreaking
story of growing up. The film
charts the rocky terrain of childhood like no other film has before,
with snapshots of adolescence from road trips and family dinners
to birthdays and graduations and all the moments in between.
This is both a nostalgic time capsule of the recent past and an ode
to growing up and parenting.
“Boyhood is not just a genuine epic, not just beautiful and
moving, it looks like a classic already.” - This is London
