THE
PIANIST (2002)
142mins
Cert 15
The
true story of Wladyslaw Szpilman who, in the 1930s, was
known as the most accomplished piano player in all of
Poland, if not Europe. At the outbreak of the Second World
War, however, Szpilman becomes subject to the anti-Jewish
laws imposed by the conquering Germans. By the start of the
1940s, Szpilman has seen his world go from piano concert
halls to the Jewish Ghetto of Warsaw and then must suffer
the tragedy of his family deported to a German concentration
camps, while Szpilman is conscripted into a forced German
Labour Compound. At last deciding to escape, Szpilman goes
into hiding as a Jewish refugee where he is witness to the
Warsaw Ghetto Uprising (April 19, 1943 - May 16, 1943) and
the Warsaw Uprising (1 August to 2 October 1944).

ANNE
FRANK: THE WHOLE STORY” (2001) 120mins Cert 12
This well-made TV movie is a very moving experience. Seeing
in graphic detail how a well-adjusted and endearing teenage
girl deals with the horrors of persecution as her family is
forced into hiding to avoid the Nazi terror cannot fail to
engage the heart and mind. It shows Anne before the
Nazi invasion of Holland as a bubbling girl eager for
education and socialisation. Her indomitable spirit is well
portrayed during her family's long months of hiding in the
back of a factory in Amsterdam. Her physical deterioration
after her capture is shown graphically, as is her will to
survive to make her mark upon the world. Ironically, she did
make her mark upon the world posthumously through her diary,
the most-widely read work of non-fiction in the world after
the Bible. The film stars Hannah Taylor-Gordon as Anne and
Ben Kingsley as her father, Otto.

MORRIS:
A LIFE WITH BELLS ON (2009)
100mins
Cert 12
Directed by Lucy
Akhurst
Described as This is Spinal Tap meets Calendar Girls, the
film follows the fortunes of an avant–garde Morris team in
their struggle to push the boundaries of the venerable,
ancient dance. Set around the country pub The Travellers
Staff, the docu–style comedy proves that Morris is not
just an innocent pub pastime involving hanky–waving and
bearded men with staffs, but also that it has its
politics–laden, ultra–competitive side too.
The Millsham Morris men and their leader Derecq Twist are
determined to achieve Morris perfection. But Derecq is also
preparing to set the Morris world alight by performing the
ultimate dance within the Morris firmament, the legendary
Threeple Hammer Damson. As if this is not enough, he is in
addition pioneering an innovative, daringly freeform brand
of the dance dubbed "Extreme Morris," drawing the
anger of traditionalist elements within the Morris
community. When Millsham unveil their creation in
competition, the Morris Circle – the governing body of
Morris in the UK – bans Derecq from future competition.
Totally devastated by the decision, Derecq embarks on a
global odyssey through tragedy and triumph, which gravely
tests his passion for Morris.

BRIGHT
STAR (2009)
119mins
Cert PG
Directed by Jane Campion
London 1818: a secret love affair begins between 23 year-old
English poet, John Keats (Ben Whishaw), and the girl next
door, Fanny Brawne (Abbie Cornish), an out-spoken student of
high fashion. This unlikely pair begin at odds, he thinking
her a stylish minx, while she was unimpressed not only by
his poetry but also by literature in general.
However, when Fanny heard that Keats was nursing his
seriously ill younger brother, her efforts to help touched
Keats and when she asked him to teach her about poetry he
agreed. The poetry soon became a romantic remedy that worked
not only to sort their differences, but also to fuel an
impassioned love affair.
When Fanny's alarmed mother and Keats' best friend finally
awoke to their attachment, the relationship had an
unstoppable momentum. Intensely and helplessly absorbed in
each other, the young lovers were swept deeply into powerful
new sensations, "I have the feeling as if we're
dissolving," Keats wrote to her. Together they rode a
wave of romantic obsession that only deepened as their
troubles mounted. When Keats fell ill a year later, the two
young lovers faced no marriage but separation. In Keats' own
poignant words, "forever panting and forever
young." Visit

A
SERIOUS MAN
(2009) 105mins
Cert 15
Dir: Joel & Ethan Coen
"A
Serious Man is the story of an ordinary mans search for
clarity in a universe where Jefferson Airplane is on the
radio and F-Troop is on TV. It is 1967, and Larry Gopnik
(Tony Award nominee Michael Stuhlbarg), a physics professor
at a quiet Midwestern university, has just been informed by
his wife Judith (Sari Lennick) that she is leaving him. She
has fallen in love with one of his more pompous
acquaintances, Sy Ableman (Fred Melamed), who seems to her a
more substantial person than the feckless Larry. Larry’s
unemployable brother Arthur (Richard Kind) is sleeping on
the couch, his son Danny (Aaron Wolff) is a discipline
problem and a shirker at Hebrew school, and his daughter
Sarah (Jessica McManus) is filching money from his wallet in
order to save up for a nose job."
