Pressure

★★★★ "Genuine gripping tension... Scott is on mesmeric form...it's engrossing": The Times

In the tense 72 hours before D-Day, the fate of the Allied invasion hangs on one notoriously unpredictable force: the British weather. Brendan Fraser stars as General Dwight D. Eisenhower, faced with the decision of whether to launch the largest seaborne invasion in history, while military meteorologist Captain James Stagg must convince him that his forecast can be trusted. With time running out and thousands of lives at stake, the pressure becomes almost unbearable. Adapted from David Haig’s acclaimed stage play, Pressure transforms a remarkable true story into a gripping wartime thriller about uncertainty, responsibility and the momentous consequences of a single decision.

Wicker

In a small medieval farming town with rigid social hierarchy and patriarchal culture, a reclusive fisherwoman is ostracized due to her persistent fish smell and rejection of institutionalized marriage. When the japes at her spinster status intensify, she sarcastically commissions for herself a husband made out of wicker. The master weaver brings the Wicker Husband to life, where his utility and dedication to his wife creates a romance so pure it causes absolute chaos amongst the villagers of the closed-minded town.

De Gaulle: Liberte

1943 - Charles de Gaulle is no longer the isolated general who refused to surrender, but the battle for France is far from won. While Free French forces fight across North Africa and Jean Moulin struggles to unite the Resistance at home, de Gaulle faces another formidable challenge: securing France’s political future against an American leadership that remains deeply suspicious of him. Simon Abkarian returns in the concluding part of Antonin Baudry’s sweeping wartime epic, alongside Simon Russell Beale as Winston Churchill and Campbell Scott as Franklin D. Roosevelt. From desert battles and clandestine resistance to D-Day and the liberation of Paris, Liberté brings the struggle for France dramatically home. ★★★★★ "Unforgettable... thrilling... both extraordinary films": The Sunday Times

“A fun and spirited comedy set in the behind-the-scenes chaos of a theatre show.” -  Cineuropa


At the legendary Comédie-Française in Paris, there is one sacred rule: the show must go on. But with just three hours until the opening night of an ambitious new production of Macbeth, almost everything that could go wrong is doing precisely that. The leading man is stranded on a train, equipment is failing, tempers are fraying and theatrical egos are running riot. For producer Nina, keeping the whole enterprise from collapsing becomes a performance in itself.


Featuring real members of the celebrated theatre company, this award-winning French farce is a gloriously irreverent backstage romp, affectionately skewering the pretensions and peculiarities of the theatrical world.

A reclusive man sentenced to community service, he finds himself reluctantly directing an amateur production of A Christmas Carol at a retirement home.

Directed by Jack Spring, this charming British comedy promises festive mischief, unlikely friendships and a reminder that Christmas can bring out the best in even the most reluctant participants.
