Dear Blogger

Kenneth Branagh's latest film, a passion project about a neglected period in the final years of William Shakespeare, comes with an original screenplay by Ben Elton. In 1613 Shakespeare is acknowledged as the greatest writer of his age. But when his renowned Globe Theatre burns to the ground, devastated, Shakespeare returns to Stratford where he must face a troubled past and a neglected family. Haunted by the death of his only son Hamnet, he struggles to mend the broken relationships with his wife and daughters. His very personal search for the truth uncovers secrets and lies within a family at war.
"It dodges the pitfalls of luvviedom and period camp to produce a fiercely intelligent and poignant drama about family, grief and the tyranny of genius" Kevin Maher, The Times
Starring: Judy Dench, Kenneth Branagh, Ian McKellen

Our closing film for this year's WOW Wales One World Film Festival is the beautiful 'Too Late to Die Young'.
Liberated by the end of the Pinochet dictatorship, a group of families set up an isolated community under the Andes, where they hope to build a new world away form the excesses of urban living. The adults debate the future, struggle with their water supply and worry about the risk of wildfires, whilst their teenage children find themselves messily adapting to their new found freedoms whilst falling in love, driving trucks and forming bands. Woozily evoking a gorgeous Chilean summer, Sotomayor's sensuous semi-autobiographical coming of age tale hums with humanity and spirit.
Director: Dominga Sotomayor

Cold Pursuit (15)
Friday 5th April 7:30pm
Saturday 6th April 7:30pm
Monday 8th April 7:30pm
Welcome to Kehoe, it's -10 degrees and counting at this glitzy ski resort in the Rocky Mountains. The local police aren't used to much action until the son of unassuming town snowplough driver, Nels Coxman (Liam Neeson), is murdered at the order of Viking (Tom Bateman), a flamboyant drug lord.
Fuelled by rage and armed with heavy machinery, Nels sets out to dismantle the cartel one man at a time, but his understanding of murder comes mainly from what he read in a crime novel. As the bodies pile up, his actions ignite a turf war between Viking and his long-standing rival White Bull (Tom Jackson), a soulful Native-American mafia boss, that will quickly escalate and turn the small town's bright white slopes blood-red.
Hans Petter Moland (Department Q: A Conspiracy of Faith) is in the director's seat, remaking his own film previously titled In Order of Disappearance.
"By pumping up the darkly comedic undertones, augmenting the frigid chill of the original, Moland's terrific, riveting picture distinguishes itself from other rote remakes." Variety
Cast: Liam Neeson; Laura Dern; Emmy Rossum; Tom Bateman; John Doman

ROYAL SHAKESPEARE COMPANY LIVE FROM STRATFORD-UPON-AVON
Come into the forest; dare to change your state of mind.
Rosalind is banished, wrestling with her heart and her head. With her cousin by her side, she journeys to a world of exile where barriers are broken down and all can discover their deeper selves. Director Kimberley Sykes (Dido, Queen of Carthage) directs a riotous, exhilarating version of Shakespeare's romantic comedy.
'INVENTIVE, PLAYFUL, CAPTIVATING...A BONKERS TRIP TO THE FOREST OF ARDEN' - DAILY TELEGRAPH
Run time: 3 hours (TBC)
A Private War (15)
Marie Colvin (played here with impressive conviction by Rosamund Pike) was a tireless correspondent, travelling to some of the most dangerous conflicts in the world – from Sri Lanka to Syria to Iraq – risking her life to reveal the truth about unjust regimes and humanitarian crimes. The trauma of her experiences alienates her from her personal relationships, including Jamie Dornan's war photographer and Stanley Tucci's would-be partner.
The first feature from documentary director Matthew Heineman (Cartel Land), A Private War avoids biopic cliches and instead asks troubling deeper questions about Colvin's motivations. Told with the genuine savagery and chaos of modern warfare, it is a testament to the pursuit of the truth at all costs.
Director: Matthew Heineman
Cast: ROSAMUND PIKE, JAMIE DORNAN, TOM HOLLANDER, STANLEY TUCCI
Can You Ever Forgive Me (15)
Friday 20th April 7:30pm
Saturday 21st April 7:30pm
Book online: https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/event/309431
When a biography writer gets fired from her day job, she accidently falls into a new career that involves forging celebrity letters for a living. But the consequences are significant, putting her freedom, friendship, and integrity to the test. A biographical drama starring Melissa McCarthy, Richard E. Grant, and Dolly Wells.
Read the full synopsis
Once a successful author, Lee Israel (Melissa McCarthy) has written biographies for Hollywood's elite, including Katharine Hepburn, Tallulah Bankhead, and Estee Lauder. But times are tough and her books aren't flying off the shelves like they used to.
When her publisher fires her and tells her nobody is going to pay for her work, it couldn't come at a worse time. She's fallen behind on the rent, her ex-girlfriend is ignoring her calls, and her cat is sick.
When she stumbles on a letter written by silver screen star Fanny Brice, she embellishes it with her own writing and sells it on in a desperate plea to try and pay the bills. It gives her bank balance and ego a much-needed boost, and she realises how lucrative this newfound money-making ploy could be…
Lee recruits her friend Jack (Richard E. Grant) into her scheme, determined to turn it into a fully-fledged career. But what starts off at as a bit of joke quickly spirals into one of the biggest literary frauds of all time, testing her friendship, her freedom, and her integrity.
Can You Ever Forgive Me is based on a true story and the memoir by Lee Israel. The film is directed by Marielle Heller, famed for her impressive debut of The Diary of a Teenage Girl and stars Melissa McCarthy (The Heat), Richard E Grant (Gosford Park), and Dolly Wells (Bridget Jones's Diary).
"McCarthy is very good at showing how Lee's unpleasant bad temper and rudeness were not simply part of her psychological makeup: they were symptoms of existential panic." ***** The Guardian
Director: Marielle Heller
Cast:Melissa McCarthy, Richard E. Grant
Ruth time: 1 hour 46 mins
The Kid Who Would Be King (PG)
The Kid Who Would Be King recalls classic all-ages adventures -- and repurposes a timeless legend -- for a thoroughly enjoyable new addition to the family movie canon.

He soon unites his friends and enemies, and they become knights who join forces with the legendary wizard Merlin. Together, they must save mankind from the wicked enchantress Morgana and her army of supernatural warriors.
"This movie is sentimental in all the right places, and impossible to dislike." Guardian ***
Dir: Joe Cornish

Run Time: 120mins
Dumbo (PG)
Saturday 27th April 7:30pm
Or call the Box Office: 01691 238167I
From Disney and visionary director Tim Burton, the all-new grand live-action adventure 'Dumbo' expands on the beloved classic story where differences are celebrated, family is cherished and dreams take flight. Circus owner Max Medici (Danny DeVito) enlists former star Holt Farrier (Colin Farrell) and his children Milly (Nico Parker) and Joe (Finley Hobbins) to care for a newborn elephant whose oversized ears make him a laughingstock in an already struggling circus. But when they discover that Dumbo can fly, the circus makes an incredible comeback, attracting persuasive entrepreneur V.A. Vandevere (Michael Keaton), who recruits the peculiar pachyderm for his newest, larger-than-life entertainment venture, Dreamland. Dumbo soars to new heights alongside a charming and spectacular aerial artist, Colette Marchant (Eva Green), until Holt learns that beneath its shiny veneer, Dreamland is full of dark secrets.
Director: Tim Burton
Cast: Danny DeVito, Colin Farrell, Nico Parker, Finley Hobbins, Michael Keaton, Eva Green
Tigers (PG)
Monday 29th April 7:30pm
From Oscar-winning director, Danis Tanovic (NO MAN'S LAND) and Andy Paterson (GIRL WITH A PEARL EARRING, THE RAILWAY MAN) comes a true story, 12 years in the making. A Pakistani salesman, employed by Nestle, one of the world's largest corporations, learns that his promotion of baby formula to doctors is causing babies to die. He risks everything to make it stop, taking on the industry with the help of Cambridge-based Baby Milk Action.
A BBC Films/UK Film Council version of the film was halted weeks before production; with defamation laws operating as 'guilty until proven innocent' the huge potential costs of defending a true story in court meant that a transnational company could prevent a true story being told simply by virtue of its deep pockets. A few years later Indian producers Prashita Chaudhary and Guneet Monga finally made the film possible.
With a breakthrough performance from Bollywood favourite Emraan Hashmi and a cast including Danny Huston, Geetanjali Thapa, Khalid Abdalla, Maryam d'Abo and Satyadeep Misra, TIGERS was shot in the Indian Punjab and London. It premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and in Official Competition at San Sebastian.

Cast: Sam Reid, Emraan Hashmi, Adil Hussain, Khalid Abdalla, Maryam d'Abo, Heino Ferch, Geetanjali Thapa, Danny Huston
Run time: 94 mins
Royal Opera House Live;
Faust (12A)
There are many versions of the story of Faust, who trades his soul with the Devil for youth and power, but Gounod's opera remains one of the most constantly enthralling. Michael Fabiano stars as Faust, with Diana Damrau as his beloved Marguerite and Erwin Schrott as the diabolical Méphistophélès. Virtuoso leading roles, a large chorus, sensational sets, ballet and an ecstatic finale make this the epitome of theatrical spectacle – the lavish scale of French grand opera is wonderfully in evidence in this production by David McVicar, set in 1870s Paris. Above all, the music includes several of popular opera's most recognizable numbers, performed by a cast of great international singers and the Royal Opera Chorus.
Music: Charles-François Gounod
Director: David McVicar
Conductor: Dan Ettinger
Starring: Michael Fabiano (Faust), Erwin Schrott (Méphistophélès), Diana Damrau (Marguerite)
