Top Gun: Maverick (12)

Directed by Joseph Kosinski and starring Tom Cruise with Miles Teller, Val Kilmer, Glen Powell, Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm and Monica Barbaro. Running time: 130 minutes.

“A high-octane spectacle, the likes of which the world has never seen before,” Top Gun: Maverick is “The perfect adrenaline rush”.  After more than thirty years of service as a top naval aviator, Pete “Maverick” Mitchell (Tom Cruise) is where he belongs, pushing the envelope as a courageous test pilot.  Yet Maverick must confront the ghosts of his past when he returns to TOP GUN to train a group of elite graduates and comes face-to-face with Lt. Bradshaw (Miles Teller), the son of his former wingman, “Goose”.  Bitter rivalries ignite as the pilots prepare for a specialist mission, which will require the ultimate sacrifice from those chosen to fly it.

Broadwindsor Film Club – Friday, 21st October

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.
