Film Listings for Sep 21-27
The final outdoor screening of the summer, new films from Brad Pitt and Oliver Stone and a French new wave double bill at the Tricycle all feature in another busy week.
Film of the Week
Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981, action, 115 mins)
Simply one of the best popcorn films of all time. If you haven’t seen Raiders of the Lost Ark on the big screen then this is the perfect opportunity. Still can’t quite believe it is more than 30 years old.
Swiss Cottage Odeon from Friday – 1 week only (playing approx. 4 times daily).

One-off screenings
The Nomad Cinema presents The Big Lewbowski (1998, comedy, 117 mins)
The Queens Park outdoor screenings have been a big success this summer and this Coen Brothers classic should continue the trend. The Dude is surely one of the best onscreen characters of recent times and with a supporting cast including Julianne Moore and Philip Seymour Hoffman, you are onto a winner. Great subtle Kraftwerk joke as well.
Sat Sep 22 – Queens Park (outdoors) 19:30 (tkts £12:50, £8.50 concessions).
Nouvelle Vague double bill - The Tricycle
Antoine et Colette (1962, dir. François Truffaut, 32 mins).
Paris vu par (1965 dir include Godard, Rohmer, Chabrol, 95 mins).
Very rarely screened French New Wave films exploring the different districts of Paris directed by some of the greats of the movement. Bring your best beret and pensive look.

Belsize Park
Untouchable* (2011, comedy drama, French with subititles, 112 mins)
One of the biggest hits of all time at the French box office (think Avatar and Titanic big). Untouchable (or "Intouchables") tells the story of a quadriplegic aristocrat who hires a young man from the projects to be his caretaker. With the always excellent François Cluzet (Tell No One).

Hampstead
Killing Them Softly* (2012, crime thriller, 97 mins)
Gangster crime thriller from the team that brought you 'The Assassination of Jesse James'. Pitt plays Jackie Cogan, a professional enforcer brought in to investigate a heist that went down during a mob-protected poker game. Support comes from James Gandolfini, Richard Jenkins and Ray Liotta. Tellingly being saved for Oscar season in the US.

Multiplexes
Finchley Road Vue
Savages* (2012, thriller, 131 mins)
The new film from Oliver Stone (JFK, Platoon, Wall Street) brings together a series of episodes with numerous characters, centered around the Southern Californian drug world. Guaranteed to be thought provoking, political and polemic.
Tower Block* (2012, thriller, 90 mins).
Russell Tovey and Sheridan Smith star in a UK film based around the residents of Tower Block 31 who are all witnesses to a murder. A year later, they find themselves being picked off one by one. Looks intriguing and the two lead actors are always worth a watch. Notable for the only UK film this year not to star Noel Clarke.
The House at the End of the Street* (2012, horror, 112 mins)
A mother and daughter move to a new town and find themselves living next door to a house where a young girl murdered her parents. Straight to DVD product that has been given a cinema release off the back of Jennifer Lawrence’s star making turn in The Hunger Games.
Now is Good* (2012, drama, 103 mins)
A girl dying of leukemia compiles a list of things she'd like to do before passing away. Topping the list is her desire to lose her virginity. Looks like a laugh riot.
