99 Homes is a powerful, intelligent film depicting the life of a family evicted from their foreclosed home in Florida when the father becomes unemployed.  Their move into a cheap motel prompts him to do whatever it takes to get their house back.  Tautly constructed, the film critiques the class divides in US society where everyone, even those living on the margins, wants to follow the American dream of having their own home.

Final film of 2015/16 season - "Far From Men" - 15th and 24th February

The last film of the 2015/16 film club season will be our February film - Far From Men . Screenings will be Monday 15th  and Wednesday 24th February. Times tbc, please check the blog or the Belgrave Cinema website closer to the time.

FAR FROM MEN
Set during the Algerian rebellion against French rule in 1953, this highly-acclaimed, multi award-winning French drama is based on a short story by Albert Camus.  It stars Viggo Mortensen as Daru, a quiet, self-possessed colonial teacher, who accompanies Mohammed, a villager accused of murder, as they flee across the Atlas Mountains.  Solid, compassionate acting by Mortensen proves he is perfectly cast.

Season passes for the 2016/17 season (starting March 2016) will be available at the Belgrave Cinema from 8th February. Join us for another season of films such as 99 Homes (March), 45 Years (April),
Truth (May) and Mistress America (June). More details to follow!

December Film - The Lobster


The screenings of The Lobster will be on Monday 7th December at 5.30pm and Wed 16th Dec. Screening time for Wednesday to be confirmed closer to the date.

Members can redeem their tickets from Tues 1st Dec for the screening on Mon 7th.

'The Lobster' was one of the most talked-about films at Cannes this year and winner of the Jury prize.  This dramatic comedy set in a dystopian future features single people who are banished to a seaside hotel, perhaps in Ireland, to find a partner within 45 days.  Otherwise they will be turned into an animal of their choice.  Quirky, deadpan, original with a stellar cast including Colin Farrell, Léa Seydoux, Rachel Weisz and Ben Whishaw, this is a cinematic experience like no other
