Monday 28 May at 2pm and 7.30 pm THE ARTIST (PG)
France 2011. 100 mins. Director: Michael Hazanavicius.
Starring: Jean Dujardin, Bérénice Bejo, John Goodman, James Cromwell.
Hollywood 1927. Matinee idol George Valentin faces career crisis as talking pictures look set to supersede silent films. To make matters worse, the girl he helped make into a star is about to become the movie icon of her generation. A charming tribute to the magic of cinema, shot in black and white and almost without dialogue. A deserving winner at this year’s Oscar and BAFTA awards.
Film of the year and a joy forever.
Christopher Tookey in The Daily Mail.
This award winning film has been a huge hit with audiences all over the world. We anticipate exceptional demand for tickets in Bungay and will be screening an additional matinee show. Tickets will be available in advance from The Fisher Theatre Box Office. Usual BFC prices. Pre-booking is advised.
Monday 25 June at 7.30 pm INCENDIES (15)
Canada/France 2010. 131 minutes. Director: Denis Villeneuve.
Starring: Lubna Azabal. In French/Arabic with English subtitles.
Canadian twins attempt to unravel their mother’s mysterious past in the Middle East. Combines twists and suspense with political insight. Nominated for both BAFTA and Oscar awards, this is an elegiac, stirring film about conflict, family and the impossibility of knowing everything about those you love.
Mystery thriller that grabs you hard and won't let go.
Peter Travers in Rolling Stone.
Sunday 15 July at 7.30 pm PATIENCE (AFTER SEBALD) (12A)
UK 2012. 86 minutes. Director: Grant Gee.
Film essay inspired by THE RINGS OF SATURN by W.G Sebald (1944 2001). The Norwich-based German-born, writer’s book takes as its starting point a walk around Suffolk, but develops into a discussion of geography, history, culture and time. With contributions from contemporary artists and writers.
In keeping with the spirit of Sebald's writing: teasing, elegant and perhaps inevitably unresolved: an invitation as opposed to a destination.
Xan Brooks in The Guardian.
W.G. Sebald (1944-2001), one of the 20th century's greatest literary figures, wrote evocatively of memory and exile, destruction and decay; his legion of fierce admirers compare him to Virginia Woolf, Proust, and Rousseau. A. O. Scott writes in The New York Times: "PATIENCE (AFTER SEBALD) is, to some degree, a survey of the work of the German writer W.G. Sebald, who spent most of his career in England and whose books, blending fiction, memoir, philosophy and travel writing, defy easy classification. The film, assembling critics and colleagues to reflect on Sebald's 1998 book, The Rings of Saturn, is both an essay in interpretation and an attempt to replicate the writer's distinctive, elusive sensibility in a visual medium. The film tries to be both descriptive and immersive, explaining its subject even as it reproduces aspects of his style." The film includes commentary by writers and artists, including Robert McFarlane, Rick Moody, Adam Phillips, Tacita Dean and Chris Petit.
Monday 30 July at 7.30 pm THE DEEP BLUE SEA (12A)
UK/USA 2011. 98 minutes. Director: Terence Davies.
Starring: Rachel Weisz, Tom Hiddleston, Simon Russell Beale .
Blitz-torn London in the early 50s. Disillusioned by her marriage to a successful older man, Hester discovers desire in the arms of a dashing ex-RAF pilot. Atmospheric adaptation of Rattigan’s play about a woman abandoning convention for love.
The Deep Blue Sea is a melancholy film without a doubt, but with great sweetness and delicacy.
Peter Bradshaw in The Guardian.
Monday 27 August at 7.30 ROMANTICS ANONYMOUS (12A)
France/Belgium 2011. 78 mins. Director: Jean-Pierre Améris.
Starring: Benoit Poelvoorde. In French with English subtitles.
Delectable French comedy. Jean-René, the boss of a chocolate factory, recruits Angélique, a talented chocolate maker. They share a passion for chocolate but are kept apart by their chronic shyness. An eccentric love story with a bitter-sweet note .
An original that recalls the whimsy and charm of previous Gallic hits Amélie and Chocolat.
Doris Toumarkine in Film Journal International.
