Director: Patrice Leconte. Starring: Rebecca Hall, Alan Rickman, Richard Madden. France/Belgium 2013. 98 mins.

Karl Hoffmeister (Alan Rickman), ailing owner of a German engineering empire in the early 1900s, elevates his clerk Friedrich Zeitz (Richard Madden, Game of Thrones’ Robb Stark) to the role of right-hand man. In the process, Friedrich becomes embroiled in an unconsummated affair with Karl’s young wife Lotte (Rebecca Hall, The Town). Based on a novel by Stefan Zweig, the fi rst English-language fi lm from Patrice Leconte (Ridicule) is a beautifully modulated slow burn.Contains moderate sex.

The beautiful but frail demi-mondaine Violetta meets the well-born Alfredo, and the pair fall in love. She abandons her life of pleasure, but his father nonetheless insists that she renounce him. She makes the sacrifi ce and leaves, only to meet him again at a ball. Alfredo fi ghts a duel with Violetta’s latest admirer and then rushes to her side, but it is too late. Ill, penniless and abandoned by her friends, Violetta dies in Alfredo’s arms.

This gripping drama is based on director Lucía Puenzo’s own bestselling novel.Contains moderate violence and threat.

THE CONGRESS (15)22, 23, 24, 26, 27 & 28 AUGUST

Director: Ari Folman. Starring: Robin Wright, Harvey Keitel, John Hamm. Israel/Poland/Luxembourg/France/Germany 2013. 123 mins.

Ari Folman’s follow-up to Waltz with Bashir is an imaginative combination of live and animated action. An ageing actress (Robin Wright) takes one last role, and submits to a scanning process that will preserve her image forever. When she’s then invited to attend the Futurological Congress, she encounters the animator responsible. Based on a novel by Stanisław Lem (Solaris), The Congress is both a sobering comment on fame’s transience and a dazzling visual feast.

A NIGHT AT THE CINEMA IN 1914 19 & 20 AUGUST

MONTY PYTHON LIVE (MOSTLY) ENCORE: 19 AUGUST

Cinema a century ago was a new, exciting and democratic form of entertainment, with live musical accompaniment. This special compilation from the BFI National Archive recreates the glorious miscellany of comedies, dramas, travelogues and newsreels that would have constituted a typical night out in 1914, including a comic short about a face-pulling competition, a sensational episode of The Perils of Pauline, scenes of Allied troops celebrating Christmas at the Front, and an early sighting of one of cinema’s greatest icons.

For the fi rst time in more than three decades, comedy legends Monty Python performed live on stage together this year at London’s O2 Arena. At a combined age of just 358, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin once again performed some of their greatest hits, with modern, topical, Pythonesque twists. Monty Python are rightfully regarded as among the world’s fi nest-ever comedians. They infl uenced a generation and revolutionised comedy.

Hong Khaou’s touching debut feature boasts especially magnetic performances by its two leads.

Cotillard, Catherine Salée, Fabrizio Rongione. France/Belgium/

Italy 2014. 95 mins. French with English subtitles.

Sandra (Marion Cotillard) returns to work after a bout of depression

to fi nd that her co-workers have voted her out of a job in favour of a €1,000 bonus. Her boss gives her a weekend to change their minds,

and her colleagues’ scruples in this expertly understated social drama.

ROYAL SHAKESPEARE COMPANY: THE TWO GENTLEMEN OF VERONALIVE: 3 SEPTEMBER

NATIONAL THEATRE: MEDEALIVE: 4 SEPTEMBER

Valentine and Proteus are best friends, until they fall in love with the same girl. Having travelled to Milan in search of adventure, they both fall for the Duke’s daughter Silvia. But Proteus is already sworn to his sweetheart, Julia, at home in Verona, and the Duke thinks Valentine is not good enough for his Silvia. With friendship forgotten, the rivals’ affections quickly get out of hand as the four young lovers fi nd themselves on a wild chase through the woods, confused by mistaken identity and threatened by fi erce outlaws before they fi nd a path to reconciliation. Simon Godwin makes his RSC debut to direct Shakespeare’s exuberant romantic comedy.

Helen McCrory (The Last of the Haussmans) returns to the National Theatre to take the title role in Ben Power’s new version of Euripides’ powerful tragedy, directed by Carrie Cracknell. Medea is a wife and a mother. For the sake of her husband, Jason, she has left her home and borne two sons in exile. But when Jason abandons his family for a new life, she faces banishment and separation from her children. Cornered, she begs for one day’s grace. It’s time enough. She exacts an appalling revenge and destroys everything she holds dear.

THE KEEPER OF LOST CAUSES (15)5 – 11 SEPTEMBER

A MOST WANTED MAN (15)12 – 18 SEPTEMBER

Director: Mikkel Nørgaard. Starring: Nikolaj Lie Kaas, Fares Fares, Sonja Richter. Denmark/Germany/Sweden 2013. 97 mins. Danish and Swedish with English subtitles.

This is the first thrilling adaptation of the bestselling Department Q novels by Jussi Adler-Olsen. Disgraced detective Carl Mørck (Nikolaj Lie Kaas, The Killing) is reassigned to a basement-bound job filing cold cases. Together he and his smart young Muslim assistant, Assad (Fares Fares), get drawn into the mystery of a missing politician, and embark on a dangerous journey into Copenhagen’s dark underworld.

Director: Anton Corbijn. Starring: Philip Seymour Hoffman, Rachel McAdams, Willem Defoe, Robin Wright. UK/USA 2014. 122 mins.

In Anton Corbijn’s (Control, The American) appropriately shadowy adaptation of John Le Carré’s post-9/11 thriller, Philip Seymour Hoffman plays the head of Hamburg’s secret anti-terrorist unit, who co-opts a reluctant Chechen refugee to help catch a suspected jihad mastermind. With perfectly calibrated plot twists courtesy of Lantana screenwriter Andrew Bovell executed in typically understated style by Anton Corbijn, this is a great ensemble piece with characters rather than individual actors driving the action.

PRIDE (15)19, 20, 21, 23, 24 & 25 SEPTEMBER

Director: Matthew Warchus. Starring: Bill Nighy, Imelda Staunton, Dominic West. UK 2014. 120 mins.

It’s 1984 and the miners’ strike is causing great hardship, especially in one remote Welsh pit village. Despite some misgivings, a group of young gay activists led by bolshy Mark Ashton (Ben Schnetzer) decide to raise money for the community, but when they travel down to deliver the funds they’re unprepared for the homophobia that greets them. In only his second film, noted theatre director Matthew Warchus (Matilda the Musical) expertly finesses knowing humour, indignation and sexual politics, while the performances are uniformly pitch-perfect.
