PERSONAL SHOPPER (15) BOOK TICKETS

From an opening sequence in a haunted house with an intricately constructed soundtrack to a cat-and mouse game on a trip from Paris to London and back set entirely to text messaging, PERSONAL SHOPPER brings the psychological and supernatural thriller into the digital age. The captivating and enigmatic Kristen Stewart is the medium, in more ways than one, for a sophisticated genre exploration from the ever original and Cannes Film Festival Best Director winner Olivier Assayas.
She’s the personal shopper for a high-powered German model/designer and jet-setter who demands an endless supply of clothes and accessories be procured and delivered to her. But she also has the psychic ability to communicate with the spirit world, and her twin brother has just died, leaving her bereft and longing for messages from the other side.
A tense and eerie tale unfolds, but one told with a surprisingly playful sense of humour that makes it a delight to watch.
“Kristen Stewart is excellent in Olivier Assayas’s magnificently unconventional Paris-set ghost story.”

THE SALESMAN (12A) BOOK TICKETS

The Cannes and Academy Award winning new film from the director of A SEPARATION is an acutely observed, ingeniously crafted and beautifully acted exploration of questions of morality and retribution. When their apartment literally starts falling apart, actor couple Rana and Emad must find a new place to stay.
Consumed by work on a theatre production of Arthur Miller’s Death Of A Salesman, they take up the offer from a fellow actor of an empty apartment. But the former occupant has left more than just furniture behind and this legacy proves highly dangerous for Rana and a threat to her marriage. With two brilliant performances at its thrilling heart, THE SALESMAN is a multi-layered triumph that is as provocative as it is gripping.

Abel Gance’s heroic depiction of the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte is an undisputed cinema landmark.  Cool under pressure, Bonaparte overcomes fierce rivals, the deadly Terror and political machinations to seal his imperial destiny. Monumental and visionary, the story’s chapters play out in exhilarating fashion.
Featuring an equally mammoth score composed and conducted by Carl Davis, this definitive digital restoration, the culmination of an unprecedented 50 year restoration project led by filmmaker and historian Kevin Brownlow, presents this silent masterpiece in all its grandiose glory.
