Coming up in 2024:
Friday April 26th: A Haunting in Venice
In post-World War II Venice, Hercule Poirot (Branagh), now retired and living in self-imposed exile, reluctantly attends a séance. But when one of the guests is murdered, the former detective must put his little grey cells to work one more time to uncover the killer.
Friday 31st May: One Life
The true story of Sir Nicholas Winton, who visited Prague in December ’38 and found families who had fled the Nazis and were living in desperate conditions. How many could he and the team rescue before the borders closed? 50 years later, he is still blaming himself for not doing more until a BBC show introduces him to some of the surviving children. A wonderful story, starring Anthony Hopkins.
Friday June 28th: Wicked Little Letters
A 1920s English seaside town bears witness to a dark, absurd scandal in this riotous mystery comedy. Based on a true story, it follows two neighbours: deeply-conservative local Edith Swan (Olivia Colman) and rowdy Irish migrant Rose Gooding (Jessie Buckley). When Edith and others start to receive wicked letters full of unintentionally hilarious profanities, foul-mouthed Rose is charged with the crime. The anonymous letters prompt a national uproar, and a trial ensues. However, as the town's women begin to investigate the crime themselves, they suspect that something is amiss and Rose might not be the culprit after all.
Warning: very strong language.
Friday July 26th: The Holdovers
With no family and nowhere to go over the Christmas holidays in 1970, unpopular classics teacher Paul Hunham (Giamatti) is stuck at school to supervise Angus, a bright teenager whose bad behaviour always threatens to get him expelled. Joining Paul and Angus is head cook Mary (Oscar-winner Randolph) - an African American woman whose own son was recently lost in Vietnam. These three shipwrecked people form an unlikely Christmas family, sharing comic misadventures during two very snowy weeks in New England.
