pmargdave
A coming-of-age tale set in the art deco glory of 1930s New York City. 17-year-old student Richard (Zac Efron), while strolling the streets of New York, happens upon the yet-to-open Mercury Theatre and is noticed by its mercurial founder, Orson Welles (in an extraordinary performance by newcomer Christian McKay).

Shown the ropes by beautiful, ambitious production assistant Sonja (Claire Danes), Richard spends the next week learning about life and love. A celebration of love, theatre and the passions that inspire greatness. Dir Richard Linklater, UK/USA. Aug 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 26, 28, 29, 30, Sept 1

According to this documentary, the US food industry doesn’t want its customers to know the truth about what they’re eating; the reality of agri-business is just too hard to swallow. Experts such as Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation) tell the shocking stories behind the plump chicken, the perfect tomato and the insecticide-resistant crop, as well as the increasing rates of obesity and diabetes, which are linked to food industrialisation. A lucidly presented and shocking indictment of an industry which has been taken over by greedy, litigious, multinational corporations. Dir Robert Kenner, USA. Sept 1, 3, 4, 5, 8
 
LEAVING (MA) 85min

The man in charge of the work is a Spanish labourer, Ivan, working illegally after a spell in prison. When Suzanne meets Ivan the connection is electric, and she is soon caught up in a turbulent affair. Her husband reacts badly, but his attempts to keep her are matched in their extremity by Suzanne’s headlong rush to shed her former life. Dir Catherine Corsini, France. English subtitles.

Now Cobb is being offered a chance at redemption, one last job that could give him his life.
