Film Listings for Sep 14-20
This week not only sees the return of Woody Allen to the local cinemas but also of the Hampstead Film Society with its Autumn season.
Film of the Week
French Cancan (1954, French musical, 102 mins)
Hampstead Film Society – Hampstead Town Hall - Tue 18 19:00 £7
The Autumn season of the Hampstead Film Society gets off to a flyer with this Jean Renoir film from 1954. It focuses on the world of the Moulin Rouge, but is light years away from Baz Luhrmanns’ vision. Recommended.
The full Autumn season for the Hampstead Film Society can be found here .

With the excellent François Cluzet (Tell No One). Released across London on Sep 21.

To Rome With Love* (2012, comedy, 100 mins)
Annual Woody Allen film and the first since 2005’s Scoop to feature the man himself. The plot revolves around the lives of visitors and residents of Rome and the romances, adventures and predicaments they get into. I’m a huge fan but it’s fair to say that reviews have been mixed.

To Rome with Love*
Hope Springs* (2012, comedy, 100 mins)
Premium Rush* (2012, action thriller, 91 mins)
In Manhattan, a bike messenger picks up an envelope that attracts the interest of a dirty cop, who pursues the cyclist throughout the city. With Joseph Gordon Levitt (The Dark Knight Rises, 500 Days of Summer) and the very underrated Michael Shannon (Boardwalk Empire, Take Shelter).
Paranorman (2D& 3D, 2012, cartoon, 100 mins, daytime screenings only)
Very well reviewed animated film from the people who made ‘Coraline’. A misunderstood boy takes on ghosts, zombies and grown-ups to save his town from a centuries-old curse.
The Sweeney* (Xtreme + std, 2012, action, 100 mins)
Starring Ray Winstone and Ben Drew (aka Plan B) and directed by Nick Love (The Football Factory, The Business). There are no prizes for guessing what to expect with this one. Danny Dyer is still waiting for the phone to ring.
Barfi (2012, Bollywood, tbc mins)
Set in the 1970s in a corner of India, Barfi is the story of three young people who learn that love can neither be defined nor contained by society's norms of normal and abnormal. Part of a new commitment to Bollywood cinema from the Vue cinema chain.
