Set in the ‘Golden Age’ of seventeenth-century Amsterdam, Tulip Fever is a lavish period drama with rapturous costumes and all the beauty of a Vermeer painting. A young orphan girl named Sophia (Vikander) finds herself betrothed against her will to the demanding merchant Cornelis Sandvoort (Christoph Waltz), who’s focussed only on her producing a male heir. But when Cornelis calls upon the artistic eye of a struggling young portraitist named Jan Van Loos (DeHaan) to paint his dear wife, a red-hot affair begins to unfold. With the help of the Sandvoorts' colourful maid, Maria (Holliday Grainger), and her fishmonger lover, William (O'Connell), Sophia and Jan risk everything in the hope of making a fortune on the soaring tulip market and escaping to the New World.

Contains suicide references.

Peterloo [12A]

2018, 154 mins

Description

Mike Leigh (Mr Turner) directs an epic portrayal of the events surrounding the infamous 1819 Peterloo Massacre at St Peter’s Field in Manchester, where a peaceful pro-democracy rally turned into one of the bloodiest and most notorious episodes in British history. Government forces charged into a crowd of over 60,000 that had gathered to demand political reform and protest against rising levels of poverty. Many protestors were killed and hundreds more injured, sparking not only a nationwide outcry but also further government suppression. The massacre was a defining moment in British democracy. In a huge ensemble cast, Rory Kinnear shines as orator Henry Hunt, while Maxine Peake plays a matriarch struggling to hold her family together in the face of severe deprivation.
