Film Listings for May 25 - May 31
Another great week for cinema across north-west London. Some great special screenings and one of the most eagerly awaited US independent films of the year.
Film of the Week
Woody Allen - A Documentary
(2012, 113 mins).
Tricycle Cinema. Thu May 31 20:45 £10.50
One-off preview screening in partnership with UK Jewish Film. A documentary on the writer, actor and director that trails him on his movie sets and follows him back to Brooklyn as he visits his childhood haunts. I understand it glosses over his personal life in favour of focusing on the films, but if you’re a fan, this looks unmissable. Directed by Robert Weide (Curb your Enthusiasm).
