An eOne release Ken Loach’s latest look at life in today’s Britain is a fine successor to I, Daniel Blake Again written by Paul Laverty and set in Newcastle, Sorry We Missed You centres on former labourer Ricky, in-home carer Abbie and their two kids, Seb and Lisa Jane. Ricky thinks his new ‘self-employed’ status, driving for a big delivery company, will be an end to debt – but are there enough hours in the day for Ricky and Abbie to get their work done, let alone function as a family? Understandably angered by how ordinary lives are affected by the gig economy, Loach and Laverty have created a film that is beautifully crafted and performed, deeply moving and all too timely.

A BFI release (see pull-out calendar) Ken Russell’s take on The Who’s groundbreaking 1969 album is a feverish feast of unrestrained imagination After witnessing the murder of his father, traumatised Tommy is left unable to see, speak or hear. From pinball champion to , the adult Tommy (Daltrey) is accompanied on his journey by some of the most memorable visuals and performances in British cinema: Tina Turner as the hypodermic-happy Acid Queen; a towering Elton John in skyscraper boots; and Ann-Margret writhing in a deluge of chocolate and baked beans. Ken Russell’s virtuosity and iconoclasm are intoxicating, while the film’s targets of consumerism, religion and deluded leaders remain unnervingly prescient. This is rock opera as it should be: played at full volume in every sense.

‘EVERY CREATIVE WORK IS A BATTLE AGAINST DEATH’ MAURICE PIALAT

Maurice Pialat was a French director with an uncompromising vision of humanity, says season programmer David Thompson Often linked stylistically to Ken Loach and John Cassavetes, Maurice Pialat (1925-2003) made films that are direct and totally unsentimental. Every scene he shot contains an emotional truth that grips the viewer. Though in person Pialat was famously cantankerous and difficult, his films are deeply tender and extremely moving. The miracle is that he frequently worked with major stars – Gérard Depardieu, , , and his great personal discovery, – and appealed to a wide audience while refusing to make any concessions to the box office. And his special brand of realism was a huge influence on a subsequent generation of French directors, such as Cédric Kahn and Cyril Collard. This is the first complete Pialat retrospective ever held in Britain, and will include a rare screening of his once ‘lost’ masterwork, La Maison des bois.
