Living (12)

Directed by Oliver Hermanus and starring Bill Nighy, Aimee Lou Wood and Alex Sharp,
Running time: 2hrs 4mins.

In 1950s London, a humourless bureaucrat decides to take time off work after a shattering health diagnosis. It dawns on him he has not been living his life to the full. Amidst the fog of his paperwork and his loneliness at home, he yearns to find fulfilment before it’s too late. He is encouraged in his search by two younger colleagues – the vibrant Margaret (Aimee Lou Wood) and idealistic new recruit Peter (Alex Sharp) and a hedonistic stranger, Sutherland (Tom Burke), encountered during a desperate trip to the seaside.

A re-imagining of Akira Kurosawa‘s ‘Ikiru‘ written for the screen by Nobel Prize-winning author Kazuo Ishiguro. Living serves as a heart-rending reminder to value what it is to live.

Directed by Anthony Fabian and starring Lesley Manville, Isabelle Huppert, Lambert Wilson, Alba Baptista, Lucas Bravo, Ellen Thomas and Jason Isaacs. Running time: 1hr 56mins

Mrs Harris Goes To Paris tells a humorously heart-warming tale about London housekeeper Ada Harris (Lesley Manville) who thinks her lonely life might turn around if she can become the owner of a Christian Dior gown.  Saying goodbye to friends like Archie (Jason Isaacs) won’t be easy and neither will be wining over elite people in Paris from Madame Colbert (Isabelle Huppert) to idealistic accountant André (Lucas Bravo).  But Ada’s irrepressible charm just might end up saving the whole House of Dior in this uplifting story of how an ordinary woman becomes an extraordinary inspiration by daring to follow her dreams.

The Duke (12)

Directed by Roger Michell and starring Jim Broadbent and Helen Mirren. Running time: 96 minutes.

In 1961, Kempton Bunton, a 60 year old taxi driver, stole Goya’s portrait of the Duke of Wellington from the National Gallery in London.  It was the first (and remains the only) theft in the Gallery’s history.  Kempton sent ransom notes saying that he would return the painting on the condition that the Government invested more in care for the elderly – he had long campaigned for pensioners to receive free television.  What happened next became the stuff of legend.  Only 50 years later did the full story emerge – Kempton had spun a web of lies.  The only truth was that he was a good man, determined to change the world and save his marriage – how and why he used the Duke to achieve that is a wonderfully uplifting tale.
