In the seedy underbelly of 18th century Paris, money is king. Nothing is sacred - even love itself can be bought for the right price. A native of this hedonistic underworld, Manon is caught between twin desires when she falls in love with the student Des Grieux. Steadfast and devoted, he offers the possibility of an honourable life. Yet, the riches promised by the world of Parisian society remain tempting....

Manon's inner turmoil and struggle for survival lie at the devastating heart of Kenneth MacMillan's 1974 adaptation of Abbe Prevost's novel. In this signature work of the Royal Ballet, MacMillan's nuanced understanding of human psychology makes for an unflinching look into the moral degradation of Manon's Paris, while all its decadence and decay are brought to life through Jules Massenet's score and Nicholas Georgiadi's design.

A routine morning run becomes a desperate race across London when high-powered prosecutor Maia Marten receives a terrifying phone call: her young son has been kidnapped. His captor has hacked her phone, is watching her every move and gives her just one hour to reach a protected witness in a major criminal trial. If she refuses to follow his increasingly dangerous instructions, her son will die. Gal Gadot stars alongside Damian Lewis in Kevin Macdonald’s breathless action thriller, filmed on the streets of London and unfolding against the clock as Maia is forced to run, improvise and decide just how far she will go to save her child.

One phone call. One kidnapped child. One hour to cross London. Gal Gadot is a prosecutor forced to obey a mysterious caller’s increasingly dangerous commands in Kevin Macdonald’s race-against-the-clock thriller. With Damian Lewis at the other end of the phone, every second, and every step, counts. "A brisk, entertaining thriller": IMDb

Before Madness went one step beyond, they were seven North London mates trying to get a band together. Playing themselves on the streets and in the pubs where it all began, the Nutty Boys recreate the rows, rehearsals and lucky breaks behind their rise in this newly restored, gloriously unpolished pop time capsule. ★★★★ "Unexpectedly revealing, vividly atmospheric, often funny and alarming, docufictional comedy": The Guardian

Before the hits, the videos and the baggy trousers came rehearsals, rows, line-up changes and the struggle to get noticed. Made in 1981, Madness: Take It or Leave It sees Suggs and the rest of the band playing themselves as they recreate their journey from a group of Camden mates to the brink of pop stardom. Shot in the streets, pubs and clubs where it all happened, Dave Robinson’s unconventional mix of mockumentary, comedy and kitchen-sink realism captures both the chaos of forming a band and a vanished North London. Newly restored in 4K, it’s a funny, scruffy and wonderfully distinctive British pop time capsule.
