Film Listings for June 8 -14
Alternative Euro 2012 programming is definitely in evidence this week. We have a clutch of new releases. The new film from the inventor of ‘body horror’, the film version of a hit musical in which Tom Cruise sings and the restoration of a 35-year-old classic.
The Dark Knight Rises looms large on the horizon and the box office is now open at both multiplexes and all three local Everyman cinemas. July 20 is the date for your diary.
I have had a number of queries regarding the Kilburn Film Festival. It runs from June 28-July 8 and will be covered in detail in future listings.
Film of the Week
Cosmopolis (2012, drama, 108 minutes)
After waiting five years for a new David Cronenberg film, we have been rewarded for our patience with two in six months (A Dangerous Method was released back in Jan). The intriguing element here is the inclusion of Robert Pattinson in his first serious role. There is talk of a new working relationship that could mirror the success of Scorsese / DiCaprio. The plot finds Pattinson (playing a billionaire asset manager) in the near future, riding across Manhattan in a stretched limo in order to get a haircut. What follows involves a cast of characters that start to tear his world apart.
Tricycle Cinema
Fri–Thu 18:20, 20:45 (exc Sun when 17:30, 20:00, extra screening Fri at 14:30).
Everyman Hampstead

One-off screenings

The story of two strangers who meet in a bar and want to spend the night together but can’t find a parking place and become 'victims' of their situation.
Met Opera - Wagners Dream (2012, documentary, 115 mins) Wed 18:30 Everyman Hampstead £15 (includes drink).
As an intro to a series of Everyman screenings over the coming weeks from Wagner’s ring cycle, this film documents the Met’s recent attempt at a $16m producton of the four operas.
