Sunday 3rd November Summer in February (15) From the 1995 novel by Jonathan Smith and based on true events, the fi lm focuses on the wild and Bohemian Lamorna Group, part of the Newlyn School of artists which fl ourished at the beginning of the 20th century. The incendiary, anti Modernist Munnings (Dominic Cooper) by now regarded as one of Britain’s most sought after artists, is at the centre of a complex love triangle involving aspiring artist Florence Carter-Wood (Emily Browning) and Gilbert Evans, the land agent of the Lamorna Valley Estate. This intimate story is played out against the picturesque beauty of the Cornish coast, in the time leading up to the First World War.
Friday 8th November Zero Dark Thirty (15) A gripping, suspenseful and brilliantly crafted fi lm with scenes of torture and violence in the fi rst twenty minutes, this fi lm tells how the hunt for Osama Bin Laden preoccupied the world and two presidential administrations for more than a decade. It took a small, brilliant team of CIA operatives to eventually track him down, their mission shrouded in secrecy. Many of the signifi cant parts of the intelligence operation are brought to the screen for the fi rst time in this gripping fi lm by Oscar winning creative duo Kathryn Bigelow and Mark Boal. This account of bin Laden’s pursuit and capture, vividly portrayed yet faithful to the facts, takes the viewer inside the hubs of power and to the front lines of this historic mission, culminating in the special operations assault on the mysterious suburban Pakistani compound.
Sunday 17th November We Steal Secrets: The Story of Wikileaks (15) As fascinating as it is provocative, ‘We Steal Secrets’ attempts to untangle one of the greatest controversies of our time. Director Alex Gibney examines the rise and rumours of Wikileaks, its Australian beginnings and its internet activist editor Julian Assange. The documentary reveals Private Bradley Manning as the original whistle-blowing hero, and the power of the worldwide web to hold governments accountable.
Sunday 24th November Before Midnight (15) Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Celine (Julie Delpy) fi rst met in their twenties in ‘Before Sunrise’ (1995), reunited in their thirties in ‘Before Sunset’ (2004). Now, nine years later, they face the past, present and future; family, romance and love. Although this is the third so far in what may turn out to be a trilogy the fi lm stands well alone. Co-written by the director and principal stars, it examines the responsibilities and emotions of middleage. Witty, acerbic, emotional and with razor sharp dialogue.
Sunday 15th December Star Trek Into Darkness (12A) When the crew of the Enterprise is called back home, they fi nd an unstoppable force of terror from within their own organisation has detonated the fl eet and everything it stands for, leaving our world in a state of crisis. With a personal score to settle, Captain Kirk leads a manhunt to a war-zone world to capture a one-man weapon of mass destruction. As our heroes are propelled into an epic chess game of life and death, love will be challenged, friendships will be torn apart, and sacrifi ces must be made for the only family Kirk has left: his crew.
