A Little Life

A Little Life
  • 2023
  • UK
  • 3h 40min
  • 18
  • Directed by: Ivo van Hove
  • Cast: James Norton, Luke Thompson, Omari Douglas, Zach Wyatt, Elliot Cowan, Zubin Varla, Nathalie Armin, Emilio Doorgasingh

James Norton (Happy Valley, Grantchester) stars in the theatrical event as visionary director Ivo van Hove (A View from the Bridge) stages the English language premiere of A Little Life. Filmed live at the Savoy Theatre, London, during its West End run, this record-breaking and ‘beautifully acted’ production of the million-copy bestseller by Hanya Yanagihara comes to the big screen for a limited time only.

The critically acclaimed five-star play also stars Luke Thompson (Bridgerton), Omari Douglas (It’s A Sin), Zach Wyatt (The Witcher), Elliot Cowan (The Crown), Zubin Varla (Tammy Faye), Nathalie Armin (Force Majeure) and Emilio Doorgasingh (Best of Enemies).

A Little Life follows four college friends in New York City: aspiring actor Willem, successful architect Malcolm, struggling artist JB, and prodigious lawyer Jude. As ambition, addiction, and pride threaten to pull the group apart, they always find themselves bound by their love for Jude and the mysteries of his past. But when those secrets come to light, they finally learn that to know Jude St Francis is to understand the limitless potential of love in the face of life.

The Nettle Dress

The Nettle Dress
  • 2023
  • UK
  • 1h 8min
  • 12A
  • Directed by: Dylan Howitt
  • Cast: Allan Brown

Textile artist Allan Brown spent seven years making a dress by hand just from the fibre of locally foraged stinging nettles. This is ‘hedgerow couture’, the greenest of slow fashion, but also his medicine. It’s how Allan survives the passing of his wife, leaving him and their four children bereft, and how he finds a beautiful way to honour her. Stunningly filmed by award-winning documentary maker Dylan Howitt, The Nettle Dress follows Allan's journey through seasons and years, foraging, spinning, weaving, cutting and sewing the cloth, before finally sharing a healing vision of the dress back in the woods where the nettles were picked, worn by one of his daughters.

The film will be followed by a recorded Q&A with Allan Brown and director Dylan Howitt.

Past Lives

Past Lives
  • 2023
  • US / South Korea
  • 1h 45min
  • 12A
  • Directed by: Celine Song
  • Cast: Greta Lee, Teo Yoo, John Magaro, Moon Seung-ah

A budding childhood romance between Nora and Hae Sung, classmates at a primary school in Seoul, ends abruptly when Nora’s family emigrates to Canada. Twelve years later, Nora - now a playwriting student in New York - notices that Hae Sung’s been searching social media for her. They reconnect online and even imagine a reunion. But another dozen years pass before they finally meet during his visit to New York. Although their lives have changed dramatically, they remain bound by a wistful connection.

An aching, deeply romantic debut feature from playwright Celine Song, Past Lives is a love story told across three moments in time. Song’s artful aesthetic and profound character writing, and the spellbinding performances she draws from Greta Lee, Teo Yoo and John Magaro (whose fates intertwine) explore love, identity, and ‘In Yun’, a Korean notion of fate stemming from two people’s connection in a past life.

Stop Making Sense

Stop Making Sense
  • 1984
  • US
  • 1h 28min
  • PG
  • Directed by: Jonathan Demme
  • Written by: Talking Heads, Jonathan Demme

There's plenty of quality in 'Stop Making Sense', the film of Talking Heads' 1984 stage show: the songs, the band's original musicians enjoying themselves tremendously and Demme, who has a radar-like eye for the little smiles and exchanges between band members. But the element of 'Stop Making Sense' that arrests the attention from beginning to end and makes this film unforgettable is the scintillating, mesmeric David Byrne.
