Amelie

This event has passed

One of the most popular French films of the past 25 years, Amelie is a delightfully whimsical confection from the ever-inventive Jean-Pierre Jeunet. Jeunet began his career in animation and his live action films (which include Delicatessen and A Very Long Engagement) have a similar degree of freedom of movement and surrealistic caprice. Audrey Tautou stars in the title role, as a young Parisienne who resolves to make the world (or at least, her corner of it) a happier place…

This film will also play as part of the Film Studies: Creating Colour series.

The Fall (4K Restoration)

Dir. Tarsem Singh
119 min

Shot over four years across 24 countries, cowritten by a six year old girl, and entirely self-financed by commercials director Tarsem, The Fall is such a mind- (and eye) boggling movie it's hard to believe it actually exists. Yet here it is!

The Manchurian Candidate

Dir. Jonathan Demme
130 min

Jonathan Demme's superbly orchestrated take on Richard Condon's 1959 paranoia novel feels weirdly prescient in its anxieties around global corporate brainwashing, war profiteering, assassination and election fixing.

Winter Kills

Dir. William Richert
97 min

An inspired black comic adaptation of the ultimate conspiracy theory, based on a novel by Richard (Manchurian Candidate) Condon. It's a lunatic riff on the Kennedy assassination(s), with Jeff Bridges finding who really killed his brother, the President. Screening in 35mm print.
