Then I remembered how much I enjoyed watching TV’s And Then There Were None from a couple of years back, even though I had not forgotten that it was - SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT! - the old Judge wot done it. And whatever happened to the All-Star ensemble film that once seemed so prevalent? Could it be that with how much these big names get paid these days – however unfairly split across the sexes – few can afford to make them!? Beyond MOTOE, from 3 Novmeber we have a very special engagement with David Lean’s classic/epic Lawrence of Arabia screening in a brand new and glorious 70mm print; Call Me By Your Name, which you really should not miss, continues; and I’d heartily recommend you catch Annette Bening as Gloria Grahame in Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool, Armando Iannucci’s often supremely funny The Death of Stalin and Yorgos (The Lobster) Lanthimos’ The Killing of a Sacred Deer; and our annual French Film Festival returns, marking, wait for it, its first quarter century… Zut alors!
