Benedetta (18)
Dir: Paul Verhoeven | 132 mins
French with English subtitles.
A subversive erotic drama based on the true story of a 17th century nun entangled in a forbidden lesbian affair.
Virginie Efira stars as Benedetta, a nun whose religious fervor begins to manifest in increasingly sensual and violent visions of Jesus. These hallucinations arouse the suspicions of Charlotte Rampling’s shrewd abbess, Sister Felicita, whose distrust grows when a farm girl called Bartolomea enters the convent seeking refuge. She quickly develops an attraction to Benedetta.
Premiering at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival, controversial filmmaker Verhoeven’s intoxicating film is a transgressive and alluring look at faith, power and religion.
'A thoughtful examination of politics and organised religion, and a searing exploration of faith' ★★★★★ BBC Culture
'Based on the real-life Benedetta Carlini, a 17th-century nun thrown into prison for her sexual relationship with another sister' ★★★★ The Independent

Featuring a live Q&A with director Benjamin Field and producer Jamie Anderson.

This classic fairytale represents the battle between good and evil, and the attempt of love to conquer all. The magic of the lakes, forests and palaces is brought to life with glittering designs by John Macfarlane and a sublime score by Tchaikovsky.
The Royal Ballet’s sumptuous production of Swan Lake returns to the Royal Opera House stage after its 2020 revival was interrupted by the pandemic’s closure of theatres.

Operation Mincemeat (12A)
Dir: John Madden 2021 | 128 mins
It’s 1943. The Allies are determined to break Hitler’s grip on occupied Europe, and plan to launch an all-out assault on Sicily. But they face an impossible challenge - how to protect the invasion force from potential annihilation.
It falls to two remarkable intelligence officers, Ewen Montagu (Colin Firth) and Charles Cholmondeley (Matthew Macfadyen) to dream the most inspired and improbable disinformation strategy of the war - centred on the most unlikely of secret agents: a dead man.
Operation Mincemeat is the extraordinary and true story of an idea that hoped to turn the tide for the Allies - taking impossibly high risks, defying logic, and testing the nerves of its creators to breaking point.

National Theatre Live: Straight Line Crazy
A new play by David Hare, directed by Nicholas Hytner.
Ralph Fiennes (Antony & Cleopatra) leads the cast in David Hare’s (Skylight) blazing account of the most powerful man in New York, a master manipulator whose legacy changed the city forever.
For forty uninterrupted years, Robert Moses exploited those in office through a mix of charm and intimidation. Motivated at first by a determination to improve the lives of New York City’s workers, he created parks, bridges and 627 miles of expressway to connect the people to the great outdoors.
Faced with resistance by protest groups campaigning for a very different idea of what the city should become, will the weakness of democracy be exposed in the face of his charismatic conviction?
Broadcast live from the Bridge Theatre in London, Nicholas Hytner directs this exhilarating new play.

Benediction (12A)
Dir: Terence Davies 2021 | 137 mins
Drama exploring the turbulent life of First World War poet Siegfried Sassoon, played by Jack Lowden and Peter Capaldi during different stages of his life.
Sassoon was a complex man who survived the horrors of fighting in the First World War and was decorated for his bravery, but who became a vocal critic of the government’s continuation of the war when he returned from service. His poetry was inspired by his experiences on the Western Front and he became one of the leading war poets of the era.
Adored by members of the aristocracy as well as stars of London’s literary and stage world, he embarked on affairs with several men as he attempted to come to terms with his homosexuality. At the same time, broken by the horror of war, he made his life’s journey a quest for salvation, trying to find it within the conformity of marriage and religion.
