Parthenope - Sunday 19th October 5pm
13 October 2025
Director Paolo Sorrentino has always been fascinated by beauty and in this weeks film he concentrates totally on the beauty of one woman - Parthenope - whose very appearance seems to have every man obsessed. She herself doesn't like where this power leads her; rather than giving her freedom and enjoyment, her suitors want to own her or bring her sadness.
“An exquisite treatise on cinematic beauty” - Siddhant Adlakha, Variety

6 October 2025
Our first Members' Choice of the season is Dreams; 17 year-old Johanne has a crush on her new teacher Johanna, building into first love and even obsession."A story of hazy memories that’s also a city symphony, Dreams elegantly captures the disorienting rush of first love and the frustrations and anguish that stem from romantic fantasies colliding with reality." - Derek Smith, Slant Magazine

The Other Way Around - Sunday 5th October 5pm
29 September 2025
When Ale and Alex's relationship comes to an end they decide to do things The Other Way Around and thrown a breaking up party.
"Even as they insist that they're perfectly fine about separating, the film is skilfully shot to both put Ale and Alex at odds within the frame and also show them as loving partners...Both take involving internal journeys through the narrative, dealing with their thoughts in their own ways as they speak with the people around them." - Rich Cline, Shadows On The Wall

The Return - Sunday 28th September 5pm
22 September 2025
Most attempts at filming the story of Odysseus have played on the return of a King, but not so for Uberto Pasolini; in The Return he concentrates on the return of a man, a beaten soldier ashamed at the loss of all his men, whilst his Queen has suffered abandonment and humiliation. Odysseus finally gets home penniless and unrecognizable, washed up as a beggar on the shore, whilst Penelope fights off suitors, wishing to marry her for power and wealth.The return of Odysseus to Penelope after twenty years is mirrored ironically by the re-meeting of Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Binoche after 28 years since 'The English Patient'.
"The film shines when it's simply Binoche and Fiennes facing off, especially in scenes where Penelope pretends not to recognize her husband, trying to force him to step forward into his rightful place." - Katie Walsh, Los Angeles Times.
