Stahl season

Bright Star (12A)

There are films, usually simple films, which engage with a depth and power that is disproportionate to their bones. This film, based on the last creative years of Keats’ life, is one such. Jane Campion captures the fragile yet deep relationship that developed between him and Fanny Brawn, his neighbour’s daughter. … [more]

A Serious Man (15)

1960s west coast America. A film infused with the ratty and humorous portrayal of Jewish lives spinning apart. It’s a portrayal drawn from the Coen brothers’ own adolescence. It is a look at suffering – in the words of the Jefferson Airplane soundtrack – of ‘when the truth is found to be lies and all hope within you dies’ … what then? … [more]

Avatar (12A)

As the camera sweeps over Pandora, the lush and green world of the Na’vi, Jake (played by Sam Worthington) wakes up in a hospital to find that his brother, who had been prepared for a secret mission to Pandora, has died.

A comedy about memory and desire. And among the middle-aged! Streep and Baldwin seem to have had a great relationship both out of and in bed. … [more]

Nowhere Boy (15)

John Lennon’s childhood...... A spirited teenager, curious, sharp and funny, growing up in the shattered city of Liverpool. Two extraordinary sisters tussle for his love – … [more]

Vier Minuten (15)

In a German prison Jenny, a teenage girl, incarcerated for murder and filled with both hatreds and a great talent for the piano, is befriended by an aged pianist. Having discovered the girl’s terrible secret and her dreams, she decides to piano competition. … [more]
