Corsage (cert tbc)
Dir: Marie Kreutzer 2022 | 113 mins
Empress Elizabeth of Austria is idolised for her beauty and renowned for inspiring fashion trends. But when she turns 40, she must fight to maintain her public image by lacing her corset tighter and tighter.
While Elizabeth’s role has been reduced against her wishes to purely performative, her zest for life makes her more and more restless in Vienna. She travels to England and Bavaria, seeking the excitement of her youth.
With a future of strictly ceremonial duties laid out in front of her, Elizabeth rebels against the hyperbolised image of herself and comes up with a plan to protect her legacy.
A bold and timely reflection on a woman’s worth in 19th century Europe.

Living (12)
Dir: Oliver Hermanus 2022 | 102 mins
1953. A London shattered by WWII is still recovering. Mr Williams (Bill Nighy) is a veteran civil servant. He is an important cog within the city’s bureaucracy as it struggles to rebuild. Buried under paperwork at the office, lonely at home, his life has long felt empty and meaningless.
Then a shattering medical diagnosis forces him to take stock – and to try and grasp fulfilment before it goes beyond reach. At a seaside resort, he flirts with hedonism before rejecting it as his solution. Back in London he finds himself drawn to the natural vitality of a younger colleague.
Then one evening he is struck by a revelation. It is as simple as it is profound. With a new energy Mr Williams sets about creating a legacy for the next generation.
Based on Akira Kurosawa’s film Ikiru.
