The Consequences of Love
Directed by Paolo Sorrentino, this is a slow-burning psychological drama about Titta Di Girolamo, a middle-aged man living a monotonous and isolated existence in a Swiss hotel. His routine begins to unravel when he becomes drawn to Sofia, the hotel barmaid, sparking a quiet yet transformative desire for intimacy. As his secrets come to light — including his ties to the Mafia — his life descends into danger.
"superbly stylish and offbeat movie....the film's sheer elegance and angular poise, together with an hallucinatory sound design, stunned audiences when it was premiered in Cannes" (Guardian review).
"hugely rewarding arthouse gem that is both thrilling and polished" (Audience review)

The Penguin Lessons
A 2024 comedy-drama film directed by Peter Cattaneo, starring Steve Coogan and Jonathan Pryce. Based on a true story: in the 1970s writer and teacher Tom Mitchell rescued an oil-covered penguin and smuggled it across the border to his school class in Argentina. The film explores the impact the penguin had on him and his students during a turbulent time in Argentine political history. The film scores an outstanding 4.8 in viewers' reviews. Steve Coogan is, in every sense. outclassed by the (real) penguin.
"a quirky true-story heart warmer, in which an adorable penguin is apparently supposed to redeem not merely the human hero’s personal heartbreak but maybe even the agony of Argentina during the 70s junta" (Guardian review).
"This is a really sweet little movie telling a story about people struggling to deal with a range of adverse situations. Pathos & comedy nicely mixed, albeit sometimes a shade too sweet" (Audience review).
Cert 12A. Film will be shown with subtitles.
