Bande à part is often considered one of Godard's most accessible films, once described as "a Godard film for people who don't much care for Godard". It tells the tale of three disaffected youths who plan a burglary, leading to deadly results. The alienated young trio is marvelous, particularly Anna Karina, and the early scenes of their clearly overdeveloped fantasy lives are splendidly handled. More

Due to circumstances beyond our control, Terminator 2 will not be screened as part of the June Twisted Celluloid double bill. We do, however, have a suitable replacement.
An Arnold Schwarzenegger sci-fi double feature! James Cameron's The Terminator (1984, 107 minutes) and John McTiernan's Predator (1987, 107 minutes) have rightly earned their places as essential classics of the genre - see them in all their techno gruesome glory back on the big screen. More

Winner Grand Prize of the Jury, Cannes Film Festival 2012
Consistent excellence is rare in cinema, but no film-making team has more regularly swept us away with their poetic insights into ordinary lives than the brothers Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne. The Kid with a Bike, however, does more than keep up the high standard. On the run from a children's home where his father (Jérémie Renier) has dumped him, 11-year-old Cyril (Thomas Doret) goes to his father's place, but finds neither him nor his beloved bike. Instead, when his carers find him, he dives into a doctor's waiting room and clings to hairdresser Samantha (Cécile de France). More
