Holmfirth Film Festival

Just released and not yet seen this debut film but it has been on our radar for most of the year.

A German refugee tries to flee what's coming and ends up in Marseille. That a 1945 novel is transferred to now seems initially odd but the shift works remarkable well and produces a very good existential dram that is disquieting.

(Dir. Ken Loach, UK 2019, 101mins 15)

Set in Newcastle, Loach's powerful, emphatic and emotional must-see drama that pulls no punches holds up a mirror to the gig-economy of a failing British economy and system. Now in his eighties Loach is more relevant than ever but seems to be more appreciated in Europe than his homeland.

Doors and bar open 6.30pm.  Film starts 7.00pm

(Dir. Pedro Almodovar, Spain 2019, 117mins 15)

One of the best films of the year for audiences and critics alike.  Almodovar delivers his familiar themes of love, death and family through the prism of an ageing film director wonderfully played by Antonio Banderas.

Doors and bar open 6.30pm
