The ninth film from writer-director Quentin Tarantino is a sprawling fairy-tale tribute to the final moments of Hollywood’s golden age. The year is 1969, and fading actor Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his long-time stunt double Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt) are struggling to keep up with the changing times. When Rick’s western TV show ‘Bounty Law’ is cancelled, the former teenage heartthrob sees his career and youth slipping away. The changing of the guard seems to have no effect on Cliff, but the same can’t be said for his counterpart. This is until Rick notices he has a very famous new next-door neighbour: Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie). Charles Manson’s cult of followers serves as a worrying backdrop for ONCE UPON A TIME…IN HOLLYWOOD – one that Los Angeles will never forget.

Marianne & Leonard: Words Of Love is the beautiful yet tragic love story of Leonard Cohen and his Norwegian muse, Marianne Ihlen. Their love began on the idyllic Greek island of Hydra in 1960 as part of a bohemian community of foreign artists, writers and musicians. The film follows their relationship from the early days on Hydra, a humble time of ‘free love’ and open marriage, to how their love evolved when Leonard became a successful musician. It was on Hydra in 1968 that director Nick Broomfield, then aged 20, first met Marianne Ihlen. Marianne introduced him to Leonard Cohen’s music and also encouraged Broomfield to make his first film. She was an enormous influence on him. Marianne and Leonard’s was a love story that would continue for the rest of their lives. Along the way we learn of the tragedy that befell those that could not survive the beauty of Hydra, the highs and lows of Leonard’s career, and the inspirational power that Marianne possessed.

British artist L. S. Lowry (Spall) lived most of his life with his over-bearing mother (Redgrave). Bed-ridden and unhappy, she tried to dissuade her bachelor son from pursuing his artistic ambitions, while never failing to tell him what a disappointment he was to her. But Lowry was inspired by the look of the people, the factory chimneys and textile mills on his doorstep, and persisted in his attempts to become an artist. By day, he walked the streets of Salford doing his job as a rent collector and socialising with the factory workers; in the evenings he took art classes and then would paint at the top of the house after his mother had gone to bed. Anchored by excellent performances from Spall and Redgrave, this a beautiful, delicate and amusing story about family separated by art and ambition, and a vivid snapshot of the industrial North West.
