Emily Blunt is a fantastic Mary Poppins – by turns gentle and imperious – in this enchanting, exhilarating sequel to the original classic musical, full of animation, dance, colour and song.

In 1930s London, Michael (Ben Whishaw) and Jane Banks (Emily Mortimer) are now grown up and Michael is a father of three. After he suffers a personal loss, Mary Poppins comes back into his and Jane’s lives – joined by street lamplighter Jack (Lin-Manuel Miranda) and eccentric cousin Topsy (Meryl Streep) – to help them rediscover the joy they knew as children. With Julie Walters, Colin Firth and Dick Van Dyke.

From Laurent Cantet, writer-director of Palme d’Or-winner The Class, and writer Robin Campillo, comes this intense, excitingly topical drama blending social commentary with a complex study of the modern world. Set in the south of France, it centres on volatile teenager Antoine.

Attending a summer writing class, he and his fellow students are tasked with writing a thriller, aided by celebrated novelist Olivia (Marina Foïs), on the basis that the final piece is connected with the town’s industrial past. As the students work, Olivia is captivated by Antoine’s anxious and aggressive behaviour.

From award-winning filmmaker E. Chai Vasarhelyi and world-renowned photographer and mountaineer Jimmy Chin comes this heart-racing portrait of climber Alex Honnold as he prepares to achieve the unprecedented: climbing the face of the 3,200-foot El Capitan in Yosemite National Park without a rope.

To celebrate International Mountain Day on 11 December, join us for a live event of Free Solo followed by Q&A with Alex Honnold and directors Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi & Jimmy Chin. The screening and Q&A will be broadcast live across the UK and Ireland via satellite.
“It’s scary and exhilarating stuff.”
Glenn Kenny, rogerebert.com

One of the greatest and most terrifying athletic feats imaginable, the climb’s exacting standard is perfection or death. But while Honnold is training, he falls in love; threatening his focus and immeasurably raising the stakes. Capturing Honnold’s death-defying climbing with masterful, vertigo-inducing camerawork – alongside deeply human and intimate moments – this is a stunning and unforgettable documentary.

The trio’s joyous reunion in 1980 catapults them to fame and sees them become a global sensation but it also unearths an extraordinary and unnerving secret that has radical repercussions.  Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a surreal, heart-breaking, and utterly bizarre tale that hooks you in from start to finish.

“As spellbinding as a great psychological thriller”
Moira Macdonald, The Seattle Times

New from celebrated Turkish auteur Nuri Bilge Ceylan (Once Upon a Time in Anatolia, Winter Sleep) comes the masterful The Wild Pear Tree. It screened in Competition at Cannes to adoring critical acclaim and is Turkey’s entry for Best Foreign Language Film at the upcoming Oscars.

Sinan (Doğu Demirkol) has long dreamed of being a writer. Returning to the village where he was born, he pours his heart and soul into scraping together the money he needs to publish his work; but his father’s debts catch up with him. As with Ceylan’s other works this is lyrical, deeply resonant film-making that sustains and demands attention.

Robert Redford will surely garner an Oscar nomination for his gloriously sly performance – allegedly his final one and perhaps the best of his career – in David Lowery’s (A Ghost Story) tremendously enjoyable new film.

Based on a true story, it follows sixty-something bank robber Forrest (Redford), who despite his age and multiple periods in jail remains committed to carrying out his unusually respectful heists. Enjoying a peripatetic romance with Jewel (Sissy Spacek) and aided by his accomplices (enjoyably played by Danny Glover and Tom Waits), the law nevertheless looms on his horizon – this time in the form of Detective John Hunt (Casey Affleck).

New Met Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin launches his tenure by conducting Verdi’s timeless tragedy.

Worldly courtesan Violetta, sung by soprano Diana Damrau, has grown tired of her dissolute life. When the pure-hearted Alfredo — tenor Juan Diego Flórez — declares his love for her, she leaves everything behind to live with him. But his family’s reputation is ruined by his association with her, and Violetta is torn between her feelings for Alfredo and her desire to protect him from scandal. Urged by the young man’s father, she tears herself away and returns to her old life. Alfredo, not knowing the real reason for her apparent betrayal, is heartbroken — and bent on revenge.

Directed by Michael Mayer, this new production features a dazzling eighteenth-century setting that changes with the seasons.

Will Ferrell is perfectly cast as the wonderfully naïve, winsome and oversized Elf in Jon Favreau’s comedy; a disarmingly funny modern Christmas classic.

Buddy, a man raised as an elf by Santa Claus (Edward Asner) finds out – finally – that he is not a real elf. He travels to his place of birth, New York City, in search of his biological father, who turns out to be impatient, cynical businessman Walter Hobbs (James Caan). Though initially infuriated by Buddy’s presence, after a DNA test proves his paternity, Walter reluctantly attempts to start a relationship with his childlike son – with chaotic and hilarious results.

N.U.M.B are back at Albert Inn in Totnes performing an acoustic set of all the favourites. We always love playing at this venue and look forward to our bowls of cheesy chips.

More fantastic food stalls are being added to enhance the appeal of this producers’ market in and around Totnes market square. And to add more colour and variety to the event, an Artisan Craft and Arts Street Market, featuring a host of local creators displaying their wares will be on display.

‘The whole idea is to ‘Celebrate Totnes’, said Ray Reynolds, market organiser. ‘The town already hosts an amazing food market once a month, attracting people from all corners of Devon, so let’s capitalise on its success and use it as a springboard to give the town an extra lift. A destination for a Sunday day-out, an extra monthly shopping day to benefit the town. Bring in more visitors and make everyone aware of what a wonderful town we have. A town full of diverse and eclectic shops, streets full of history and architecture and an atmosphere all its own. By adding more strings to the food markets bow, we can give this special day an extra vibrancy for one and all to enjoy the town, all the way from top to bottom – or vice versa!

Peter Debruge, Variety

The quintessential Christmas film, Oscar-winning director Frank Capra’s masterful drama features Jimmy Stewart as frustrated, compassionate every-man George Bailey.

George is on the brink of suicide when his guardian angel (Henry Travers) arrives to show him how his community and loved ones would have fared without him. Together they range back through George’s life, as he saves his brother from drowning, falls in love with  Mary (Donna Reed) and learns to put others before himself. Set in snowy small-town America on Christmas Eve, this very touching, very romantic reverse-Scrooge fable is a seasonal classic.
