Van Gogh: A New Way of Seeing

Van Gogh: A New Way of Seeing (U)

Sunday 19 May 20243:00pm

From the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam


Given complete and unprecedented access to the treasures of Amsterdam’s Van Gogh Museum, this is a major film about one of the world’s favourite artists.


This film provides viewers with the moving and inspiring experience of seeing Vincent’s iconic masterpieces close-up on the screen and presents new insights and interpretations by specially invited guests including V. Willem van Gogh great grandson of Theo van Gogh and contemporary artist Lachlan Goudie.


Vincent’s illuminating letters to his family and friends are brought to life by dramatisation which puts flesh on the bones of new biography. Recent research question the many myths surrounding Vincent’s troubled life.


We look closely at the life of a man who reminds us that, “Art is long and life is short.”


“A revolutionary ‘gallery’ experience” – Canberra Times


“Paintings shown in breath-taking detail” – Daily Mail


Screening to coincide with a major forthcoming exhibition at The National Gallery from September 2024

Monster

Monster (12A)

Sunday 19 May 20246:00pm

Following on from his acclaimed features SHOPLIFTERS and BROKER, Hirokazu Kore-eda presents us with another poetic, humanist drama. There is some kind of darkness surrounding 11-year-old Minato (Soya Kurokawa). As his behaviour begins to shift at school, his mum Saori (Sakura Ando) confronts his teachers in order to discover the truth. Using the 'RASHOMON' parallel timeline technique, we watch the series of events unfold from different perspectives, broadening our considerations on what might have happened, but holding its final secret until the end.


The film was also awarded the Best Screenplay at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival.

Challengers

Challengers (15)

Tuesday 21 May 20245:00pm

Zendaya plays a romantically challenged tennis pro in the new ménage à trois sports drama from Luca Guadagnino (Call Me By Your Name, I Am Love, Bones and All, A Bigger Splash), co-starring Josh O’Connor and Mike Faist. One of the most feverishly anticipated films of 2024 (especially after its delayed release following the 2023 US actors’ strikes), Challengers is scripted by playwright Justin Kuritzkes (Guadagnino’s repeat collaborator on the upcoming Queer), sound-tracked by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, and promises to be a punchy, sensationally watchable blend of romance, comedy, tennis and high drama, both on and off court.


Zendaya is Tashi Duncan, a former tennis prodigy-turned-coach and a force of nature. Married to Art, a champion on a losing streak (Faist), Tashi’s coaching strategy for her husband’s redemption takes a surprising turn when she signs him up for a ‘Challenger’ match against the washed-up Patrick (O’Connor) – Art’s ex-best friend, and Tashi’s former lover. As the trio reunite, memories of their youthful love triangle arise and new feelings of jealousy, lust and betrayal come to the fore. Tashi must ask herself: what will it cost her to win?

The Taste of Things is a delectable cinematic journey set in late 19th-century France, unraveling the intricate relationship between Dodin Bouffant, as the preeminent chef, and Eugénie, his devoted personal cook. Over time, their professional collaboration evolves into a tender romance, marked by extraordinary culinary creations that captivate the world's top chefs. However, Eugénie hesitates to commit romantically, prompting Dodin to embark on an unprecedented culinary venture: cooking for her. As Dodin endeavors to express his love through gastronomic artistry, the film explores the profound connection between the characters. Each dish becomes a symbolic gesture in Dodin's pursuit of Eugénie's heart, leading to emotionally charged and beautifully crafted culinary moments.

Love Lies Bleeding

Love Lies Bleeding (15)

Tuesday 21 May 20242:30pm8:00pm

BAFTA-nominated and critically acclaimed for her 2019 psychological horror Saint Maud, British director Rose Glass returns with a queer love story and thriller set in small-town America, Love Lies Bleeding.


Kristen Stewart stars as reclusive gym manager Lou, who falls hard for Jackie (Katy O’Brian), an ambitious bodybuilder passing through town en route to pursuing her dreams in Las Vegas. But their love ignites violence, pulling them deep into the web of Lou’s criminal family – led by her father (a tanned, taciturn Ed Harris, sporting a truly chilling hairstyle) – and threatening disaster.


With a wider ensemble cast including Jena Malone, Dave Franco and Anna Baryshnikov, Love Lies Bleeding promises to be a passionate romance and an electric thriller fuelled by ego, desire, and the American dream.
