Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss (14th May - 17th May)

Gaslight - George Cukor (1944)

May 14th: 7.30

“The strange drama of a captive sweetheart!”

Beautiful and trusting, Paula Anton (Ingrid Bergman) is slowly tormented by mysterious happenings in her luxurious Victorian home. The suspect is her devoted husband. But viewing the world through the dim glow of the gaslight, it is difficult to tell what is real and what is imagined. If you've ever used the word ‘gaslighting,’ you owe it to this classic film noir - an essential text on control within a relationship.

Breathless - Jean-Luc Godard (1960)

May 16th: 7.30

“Wild! Violent! Outspoken and honest!”

A small-time thief, Michel (Jean-Paul Belmondo), steals a car and impulsively murder a motorcycle policeman. Wanted by the authorities, he flees to Paris, where he attempts to convince his on-off American girlfriend, Patricia (Jean Seberg), to run away to Italy with him. A cornerstone of the French New Wave, Breathless rewrote the rules of cinema - and more than 50 years after its arrival, Jean-Luc Godard's paradigm-shifting classic remains every bit as vital. With its bold visual style, naturalistic dialogue, and iconic performances from stars Belmondo and Seberg, this is an ‘Important,’ film with a capital ‘i’.

Mulholland Drive - David Lynch (2001)

May 17th: 7.30

"It'll be just like in the movies. We'll pretend to be someone else."

A typically surreal neo-noir from David Lynch, Mulholland Drive tells the story of aspiring actress Betty Elms (Naomi Watts), who has just arrived in Los Angeles. Betty meets and befriends the enigmatic Rita (Laura Harring), who is recovering from a car accident. Whilst the two work together to help Rita recover her identity, filmmaker Adam Kesher (Justin Theroux) runs into ominous trouble while casting his latest project. Simultaneously seductive and frightening, this startling vision of Los Angeles’s dream factory is one of the true masterpieces of the new millennium, a tale of love, jealousy, and revenge like no other.
