Royal Opera House Live: The Sleeping Beauty
Magic and fairytale characters are brought to life through ballet in this well-known family favourite.
The Sleeping Beauty holds a very special place in The Royal Ballet’s heart and history. It was the first performance given by the Company when the Royal Opera House reopened at Covent Garden after World War II. In 2006, this original staging was revived and has been delighting audiences ever since.
Frederick Ashton famously cited the pure classicism of Marius Petipa’s 19th-century ballet as a private lesson in the atmospheric art and craft of choreography. Be swept away by Tchaikovsky’s ravishing music and Oliver Messel’s sumptuous fairytale designs with this true gem from the classical ballet repertory.

Martial artist-in-training Ria Khan believes she must save her older sister Lena from her impending marriage. After enlisting the help of her friends, Ria attempts to pull off the most ambitious of all wedding heists in the name of independence and sisterhood.

'Polite Society is definitely a top-three contender for best movie of 2023, and worth watching more than once' ★★★★★ Arizona Republic
'...The film gets right to the emotional heart of a youngster’s quotidian struggles by blasting them through the wildest genre kaleidoscope to hand. In Polite Society's case, that’s martial arts' ★★★★ Daily Telegraph

The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry (12A)
Dir: Hettie Macdonald 2023 | 108 mins
Based on Rachel Joyce’s bestselling novel.
Harold Fry was never meant to be a hero. He’s an unremarkable man who has failed at all the important things: being a husband, a father and a friend.
Now, well into his 60s, he is content to fade quietly into the background of life. But when Harold learns his friend Queenie is dying, he is moved to act.
He leaves home, walking to the post box to send her a letter. Until he realises a letter is not enough. In that moment Harold decides to keep walking, all the way to her hospice, some 500 miles away in Berwick-upon-Tweed. As long as he walks, Queenie must live.
Surprising himself as much as his wife Maureen, Harold embarks on a walk of hope, determined to travel the length of England to save his friend.
'Broadbent is a wonder, so real and sincere it doesn’t feel like acting' The Spectator
'This politely unassuming little film builds into a wrenching examination of grief, guilt and eventual closure' ★★★★ Guardian
‘It’s a non-religious pilgrim story about the power of hope and faith. A movie that celebrates everyday joys and human connection. The perfect pick-me-up tonic for tough times’ ★★★★ Metro
‘One of the great movies about ageing and regret, up there with 45 Years and The Straight Story’ ★★★★ Times

As decades pass and lives unfold, their paths ultimately lead them back to where they first met.

‘The spiritual dimension of Pietro and Bruno’s bond has its appeal, and one of the movie’s pleasures is that it takes male friendship seriously’ New York Times

A Crack in the Mountain (12A)
Dir: Alastair Evans 2023 | 100 mins
A feature length documentary film about the story of the world’s largest cave.
Hang Son Doong translates as 'mountain river cave'. It is located in the Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park in Quang Binh Province in Vietnam. The national park is also a UNESCO world heritage site.
First found in 1990 by a local farmer, it wasn’t explored until 2009 when a British expedition team rigged ropes and descended down.
Many people have described Son Doong as a lost world. It has its own lake, jungle and even a unique weather system.
In 2014 plans were announced to build a cable car into Son Doong. With many arguing that this would destroy the cave’s delicate eco-system and the local community divided over the benefits this development would bring, the film follows those caught up in the unfolding events.
The film is also a lens through which to investigate related themes such as the challenges of modern day exploration, environmental conservation and sustainability, and the perils of operating as an activist in a country such as Vietnam where freedom of speech is severely curtailed.

Mad About The Boy - The Noel Coward Story (12A)
Dir: Barnaby Thompson 2023 | 91 mins
Noel Coward grew up in poverty and left school when he was only nine years old. He was queer in a very straight world. Yet by the age of 30, he was the highest paid writer in the world and a star on the Broadway stage.
He wrote, directed and acted in some of the finest plays and movies of all time, including Private Lives, Blithe Spirit, Brief Encounter and In Which We Serve. He also became a world renowned songwriter and performer. If that wasn’t enough, he was also a spy during the Second World War!
Against all odds, Noel Coward became the most successful multi-talented artist of the Twentieth Century. He defined an era and led an extraordinary life.
This is his inspirational story told in his own words and music, and unique home movies.
Featuring Laurence Olivier, Maggie Smith, Harold Pinter, Frank Sinatra, Lauren Bacall, Michael Caine and Lucille Ball.
Narrated by Alan Cumming, with Rupert Everett as the voice of Noel Coward.
