10.15 Coffee
10.30 I’ve loved you so long (115 mins)
Dir. Philippe Claudel, France 2008, Subtitles
Kristin Scott Thomas is outstanding in this finely crafted and acted drama. A woman returns to stay
with her sister after a long mysterious absence and the tensions and secrets of the past gradually rise up.
12.30 L U N C H B R E A K
1.30 YRG AGM 2009 (See below)
2.00 Of Time and the City (74 mins)
Dir. Terence Davies GB 2008
Made with wit, care and affection, Davies’ autobiographical docu-essay consists of archive footage of the people and places of his youth in Liverpool from the post-war austerity years to the sixties.
3.15 Transsiberian (111 mins)
Dir. Brad Anderson, UK/Germany 2008
An enjoyably devious thriller set mainly on the Beijing to Moscow train. Absorbing and unpredictable, it gains from a versatile cast including Emily Mortimer and Ben Kingsley as a Russian detective.
