(Olivier Assayas / France / 2008 / 103 mins / Cert 12A)
Olivier Assayas’s most satisfying film for some while, this is a warm, wise drama about the tensions and mysteries of family life. Three siblings - lecturer Frédéric (Charles Berling), New York-based designer Adrienne (Juliette Binoche)and Jérémie (Jérémie Renier) celebrate their widowed mother's birthday in the country. When the mother dies shortly after, the three come together again to decide what to do with the house, its valuable contents, and Hélène’s faithful housekeeper Eloise… the film explores grief, interactions and motivations, blood-ties and family secrets. It is beautifully performed, intelligently written and fluently directed.
The watching-with-baby screenings are for parents/carers with young babies (up to 1 year) to enjoy a movie in the company of other parents and their offspring. With our film programme you'll be able to see the latest blockbusters, foreign language films and classic favourites. The Cube provides an area for prams, baby changing facilities, lowered movie volume and extra lighting in the auditorium. There will always be a friendly Front of House on hand to help.
