Written by: Kenneth Branagh, after William Shakespeare
Cinematography: Alex Thomson 
Music: Patrick Doyle 
Cast: Kenneth Branagh, Julie Christie, Kate Winslet, Judi Dench, Gérard Depardieu, John Gielgud, Jack Lemmon, Robin Williams... 

The only unabridged cinematic adaptation of Hamlet. Kenneth Branagh’s version is famous for being the only integral version of the play, running just over four hours. Branagh makes bold directorial choices, putting his unique stamp on the adaptation, a lavishly produced spectacle set in the 19th century but retaining the original Elizabethan English. 

Branagh’s version is faithful to the original play, published in 1623, but uses modern narrative techniques, numerous flashbacks, to variegate the narrative and depict scenes that are only described in Shakespeare but not performed, such as Hamlet's childhood friendship with Yorick, or scenes that the play only alludes to, such as Hamlet's sexual relationship with Ophelia. 

Hamlet premiered at the 1996 Cannes Film Festival and went on to win four Academy Award nominations. It will be screened in two parts with an intermission.

Written by: James Mangold, Jay Cocks, based on Elijah Wald’s Dylan Goes Electric! 
Cinematography: Phedon Papamichael 
Cast: Timothée Chalamet, Elle Fanning, Edward Norton, Monica Barbaro, Scoot McNairy 
Distribution: Blitz

Mangold’s biopic follows Minnesota musician Bob Dylan's meteoric rise as a folk singer, from the early 1960s when he arrived in New York to visit the ailing Woody Guthrie, to concert halls and the top of the charts – culminating in his groundbreaking electric rock and roll performance at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965. 
Dedicated to the formative years of the "voice of a generation", with lead actor Timothée Chalamet performing Dylan’s songs himself, the musical drama focuses on the era-defining star’s early complicated romantic relationships with Sylvie Russo and Joan Baez, as well as his relationship with his fans and the press, which he made a point of avoiding.

Berlin, 1942. The inconspicuous, kind and compassionate Hilde with no interest in politics to speak of, gradually finds her place in the resistance group which will come to be known as the "Red Orchestra".

When the Gestapo arrest members of the group in the autumn, the pregnant Hilde is among their number. In prison, she develops unexpected strength, giving birth to her son and keeping the memory of her beloved husband alive.

A thrilling biography of the Russian writer Eduard Limonov, known for his turbulent private life, astonishing political transmutations and migrations between the Soviet Union, Europe and the USA.

Eduard Limonov (1943-2020) switched between many identities in his lifetime: A poet, exile, political leader, a revolutionary militant, a thug, an underground writer, a butler to a millionaire in Manhattan. But also a lover of beautiful women, a political agitator and a novelist who wrote of his own greatness. Limonov lived many lives, although much of what he said about himself has been contested as questionable self-mythologising - which only adds to his mystique. Eduard Limonov's life story is a journey through Russia (where he founded the National Bolshevik Party), America and Europe. It is based on Emmanuel Carr?re's 2011 book Limonov, a novelized biography of the Russian dissident.

While considered low-brow entertainment and looked down upon for its exaggeration, some see reality TV as their chance at a better life.
Liane, 19 years old, daring and fiery, lives with her mother and little sister under the dusty sun of Fréjus in the South of France. Obsessed with beauty and the need to become "someone", she sees reality TV as her opportunity to be loved. Fate smiles upon her when she auditions for a reality TV show called Miracle Island. When she tells the woman who auditions her that she wants viewers to see "the real me," we wonder what that would be. So much of her - the prongs of her fake fingernails, her mouth swollen with acid, her unlikely abundance of hair, her grotesquely inflated breasts - is so proudly unreal that a real self is hard to pinpoint.

One of the world's most secretive and ancient events - electing a new Pope - as seen through the eyes of a Cardinal trying to preserve his faith and avoid becoming ensnarled in a web of intrigues that has cast a shadow over Vatican.
When the Pope unexpectedly dies, Cardinals from all over the world rush to the Vatican, where they immediately sequester themselves. Digital devices are stashed, doors are locked, and windows are shuttered as they prepare for the election of a new leader. Cardinal Lawrence oversees the proceedings, assuming that the contest will come down to a battle between the reactionary, openly racist Cardinal Tedesco and the liberal progressive Cardinal Bellini. And matters soon turn complicated as rumours circulate, secrets emerge, and acts of sabotage are undertaken. Lawrence finds himself at the centre of a conspiracy and discovers a secret that could shake the very foundation of The Church.
