The Darjeeling Limited
Location Date Tickets
Three eccentric brothers (Wilson, Brody and Schwartzman) cross India by train in an attempt to deal with the recent death of their father.

This film is preceded by a short by Anderson called 'Hotel Chevalier'; it is imperative you see this film in order to understand what follows. A delight.

The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
Location Date Tickets
Julian Schnabel's third biopic tells the tale of 'Elle' editor Jean-Dominique Bauby (Almaric) who, after suffering a debilitating stroke, authored a slim memoir, 'The Diving Bell and the Butterfly'. This is an unusual, rich, formless and challenging film, which fits perfectly with the triumph of the human spirit theme that runs through Bauby's core text.

Mr Magorium's Wonder Emporium
Location Date Tickets
Molly Mahoney (Portman) is the awkward and insecure manager of Mr Magorium's Wonder Emporium, the strangest and most fantastic toy store in the world. But when Mr Magorium bequeaths the store to her, a dark and ominous change comes over the Emporium. Besides the irresistible high of seeing Portman finding her witchcraft, nothing has much resonance here. It's all bright surfaces with nothing behind them, and the result is flat and inconsequential.
