CINEMAJAN - FEB 2015

warwickartscentre.co.uk box office 024 7652 4524

HELLOA great privilege of seeing films before the critics is that you can view without prejudice, and have the joy of being rocked back on your heels by something rich and strange, special or unexpected. A number of such films have caught me off guard this season.

Whiplash is a beautifully economical tale of drive and ambition set in the world of big band jazz but having more in common with a sports movie. Its cast is lesser known, its director unknown but the on-screen alchemy and directorial zip is exhilarating.

Eddie Redmayne has built a solid reputation as a promising young actor but nothing prepared me for the phenomenal physical performance he delivers as Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything, a feast of wit and wisdom with a superb ensemble cast.

The future is under scrutiny this season, with Christopher Nolan’s majestic Interstellar kicking off the New Year, followed by a new print of one of its greatest influences, Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. Alex Garland’s (28 Days Later) first film as director, Ex Machina, explores the interface between man and machine with Alicia Vikander (cf Testament of Youth) and the equally ubiquitous Domhnall Gleeson.

For those with more exotic tastes, the front runner for Best Foreign Language Oscar, Leviathan scythes into contemporary Russian life, Wong Kar Wai’s exquisite and graceful martial arts mentor movie The Grandmaster celebrates Chinese New Year and we welcome the return of Louis Malle’s intensely moving tale of France under occupation, Au Revoir Les Enfants.

Enjoy!

Interstellar 12a

Fri 2 – Mon 5 JanDir: Christopher NolanUS / UK 2014 166minsCast: Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain

It’s the near future, and dwindling resources have turned Earth into a giant dustbowl as scientists look to outer space to save the human race. After being selected by NASA for the team tasked with finding a new hospitable planet, former astronaut turned farmer Cooper (McConaughey) leaves behind daughter Murph to join a team of scientists to the farthest reaches of the universe.

Christopher Nolan’s ambitious sci-fi epic combines awe-inspiring visuals with a scientific and emotional intellect worthy of Stanley Kubrick.

As each character and each relationship is tested, it becomes clear that no one is immune to this enormous social change. A witty and wise look at a very modern issue.

Throughout the 4000 mile journey, the crew must not only survive the elements and omnipresent sharks, but also the raft’s weakening structure.

Andrey Zvyagintsev (The Return) brings us a damning portrait of the abuses of power in the current Kremlin administration, thinly veiled as a reworking of the great trial of Job in provincial Russia.

Surprisingly subversive, Leviathan is Russia’s official entry for next year’s foreign language film Oscar. Excellently reviewed by all except those whom it criticizes, Leviathan has already won Best Screenplay at Cannes.

Jacques Tati’s follow up to Mon Oncle was (at the time) the most expensive film in French history and sees M. Hulot in an ultra-modern Paris filled with tourists.

Another chance to see the Mike Leigh’s celebrated film of the latter years of the life of British artist JMW Turner. It has already garnered accolades and a Cannes Film Festival Best Actor award for Timothy Spall in the title role.

Spall fully embodies his role as the cantankerous artist, with a grunting, gruffly emotional performance as a man who is at once the talk of the artistic world, but also set apart – a man who sees the world differently.

Across the globe and in particular over the last five years his brand of socialism has struck a chord with people of all ages and social backgrounds.

For the first time ever through intimate, quasi confessional interviews and his personal, photographic and film archive, Will & Testament reveals a very human face behind the political mask.

Brave New WorldsSat 24 Jan 11am – 3.30pm

A number of science fiction movies have envisioned communities of the future, both as places ominous and appealing, dystopian and utopian.Drawing together aspects of film history and cultural history, writer James Clarke’s talk will consider some of the most iconic science fiction films, referring to both live action and animated films.

This film talk will also feature a screening of Alfonso Cuarón’s modern sci-fi classic Children of Men, starring Clive Owen, Julianne Moore and Chiwetel Ejiofor.

Mad as Hell - 1970s American CinemaSat 14 Feb 11am – 3.30pm

Often referred to as the second golden age of American cinema, the 1970s saw the emergence of a new breed of filmmaker, tackling subjects the collapsing studios would never have dared broach in their heyday.

With new films like Foxcatcher, A Most Violent Year and Inherent Vice clearly owing a debt to the films of this period, Ian Haydn Smith will look back at the classics, the blockbusters, the lost gems and misadventures of this period, before a screening of Robert Altman’s 1973 masterpiece The Long Goodbye.

French Rom-ComsSat 7 Mar 11am – 3.30pm

Romantic comedy à l’américaine has exploded as a genre in France, and boosted by the global success of Amélie, has produced further export successes as Priceless and Heartbreaker.

This Film Talk will provide an introduction to the ways in which the phenomenon provides a barometer of the changing social norms in France, taking in ideas about coupling culture and gender roles, as well as examining the subtext that is Franco-American relations.

There will be a complete screening of the Audrey Tautou romantic comedy, Priceless.

A wonderfully frenzied exploration of art, ego and fame, the film features astonishing cinematography and a superb supporting cast.

When writer and pacifist Vera Britain published her memoirs from the period 1914-1918, they immediately became a bestseller, and are still considered one of the greatest war memoirs ever written. Testament of Youth is an epic coming of age tale, as the young Vera struggles against the constraints of the accepted roles for women, while at the same time raging against the injustice of a war that will take friends, family and lovers away from her. Alicia Vikander (A Royal Affair, Anna Karenina) is luminescent as woman whose voice would define a generation.

Wed 18 Feb 6.10pmDir: Wong Kar Wai Hong Kong/China 2013 130mins subtitled Cast: Tony Leung, Zhang Ziyi, Cung Le, Qingxiang Wang

In the Mood for Love and 2046 director Wong Kar Wai’s new film looks at the later years of the kung fu master and Bruce Lee’s teacher, Ip Man. Set against a turbulent 1930s China, the film follows the martial arts legend caught in the battle between two fighting styles and opposing ideologies brought about by the Japanese invasion.

With stunningly shot and choreographed fight sequences and beautifully restrained performances from Tony Leung (Hero) and Zhang Ziyi (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon), The Grandmaster is an unusually atmospheric and philosophic take on the martial arts genre.

Three young boys live and work in the favelas in Rio, sorting through trash on the local rubbish dump. When a wallet is unearthed, the boys are delighted and share the cash between them. But they soon realise there is something far more important in the wallet when a corrupt police inspector turns up, desperate to find it.

In 1970, drug-fuelled Los Angeles detective Larry ‘Doc’ Sportello investigates the disappearance of a former girlfriend.

Adapted from Thomas Pynchon’s novel by writer-director Paul Thomas Anderson (Magnolia, There Will Be Blood, The Master), this American crime-comedy is a wild ride through a landscape of far-out scenarios and brain-melting characters, with a game supporting cast and a typically leftfield performance from Joaquin Phoenix in the central role.
