Dir. Michael Almereyda - 2017 - 97m
Starring Jon Hamm, Geena Davis, Lois Smith and Tim Robbins!
Eighty-six-year-old Marjorie spends her final, ailing days with a computerized version of her deceased husband. With the intent to recount their life together, Marjorie's "Prime" relies on the information from her and her kin to develop a more complex understanding of his history. As their interactions deepen, the family begins to develop ever diverging recounts of their lives, drawn into the chance to reconstruct the often painful past. Built around exceptional performances from a veteran cast, Marjorie Prime shines a light on an often-obscured corner in the world of artificial intelligence and its interactions with mortality. Bringing us robustly into the future, Michael Almaryeda's poetic film forces us to face the question-If we had the opportunity, how would we choose to rebuild the past, and what would we decide to forget?
"There's more going on it's 90 plus minutes than in many Summer block buster nearly twice its length" - NY Times
"An elegant, haunting, futuristic drama" - L.A. Times
“This is the rare recent stage-to-screen adaptation that actually improves on the source.” - David Rooney, Hollywood Reporter
“With nuance and an introspective eye, Almereyda creates a beautifully bleak, hypnagogic world in Marjorie Prime that allows its pensive themes to flourish.” - Alex Arabian, Film Inquiry
“One of the most uncompromisingly intelligent pieces of filmmaking you are likely to come across this year.” - Linda Marric, HeyUGuys
"Exquisite - beautiful, intense shivering with empathy" - New York Mag
Viceroy's House
Sep 18 to Sep 21
Monday to Thursday 6pm ONLY!
Dir. Gurinder Chada - 2017 - 107m - UK - No Matinees
New nations are rarely born in peace… India, 1947: Lord Mountbatten (Downton Abbey’s Hugh Bonneville) is dispatched, along with his wife Edwina (Gillian Anderson), to New Delhi to oversee the country’s transition from British rule to independence. Taking his place in the resplendent mansion known as the Viceroy’s House, Mountbatten arrives hopeful for a peaceful transference of power. But ending centuries of colonial rule in a country divided by deep religious and cultural differences proves no easy undertaking, setting off a seismic struggle that threatens to tear India apart. With sumptuous period detail, director Gurinder Chadha (Bend It Like Beckham) brings to life a pivotal historical moment that re-shaped the world.
“A richly developed historical drama about the partitioning of India.” - Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice
“Turbulent division of India seen by both Brits and Indians.” - Michael Ordoña, Common Sense Media
