The Love Of Cinema

Tuner with Leo Woodall and Daniel Roher | Picturehouse

Lucy Fenwick Elliott talks to director Daniel Roher and actor Leo Woodall about their new film, Tuner. Now showing at Picturehouse Cinemas. 

In Tuner, Academy Award-winning director Daniel Roher’s first narrative feature, Leo Woodall stars as a gifted young piano tuner whose heightened sense of hearing draws the attention of criminals, who see his talents as useful for opening safes as for tuning Steinways.  

With his once-promising musical career over, he works across New York with his mentor Harry Horowitz (Academy Award-winner Dustin Hoffman), encountering a range of characters, including composition student Ruthie (Havana Rose Liu), with whom he forges an unexpected connection. Niki’s safecracking work threatens his budding romance with Ruthie and pulls him into increasingly dangerous territory.  

Lending romance, drama, and the taut suspense of a heist thriller, TUNER also features performances from Tony Award-winner Tovah Feldshuh, Jean Reno, and Lior Raz.

The Christophers with Ian McKellen | Picturehouse

Sam Clements talks to legendary actor Ian McKellen about his starring role in Steven Soderbergh's The Christophers, in cinemas now. 

What is the value of art? Does it reside in personal expression? Cultural longevity? Financial worth? These questions fuel Steven Soderbergh’s gloriously entertaining comedy, THE CHRISTOPHERS. Written by Ed Solomon, featuring an all star cast, including Micheala Coel, Jessica Gunning and James Corden - alongside Ian McKellen. 

Julian Sklar (McKellen) was once a star of London’s 1960’s and 70’s pop art explosion, but he hasn’t painted in decades and has been broke for years.  

His two estranged children, desperate for an inheritance, hire Lori, an art restorer and former forger (Coel), to pose as a prospective assistant in order to access unfinished canvases Julian has buried deep in storage.  

A sharp and remarkable tale of creativity, legacy, and avarice.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 with David Frankel | Picturehouse

Lucy Fenwick Elliott talks to director David Frankel about making his hugely anticpated new film, The Devil Wears Prada 2, in cinemas now. 

The iconic – and iconically vicious – Editor-in-Chief of Runway magazine, Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) is watching the publishing world fall apart.  

As her retirement nears, she finds herself facing off against Emily Charlton (Emily Blunt), her one-time assistant turned high-powered executive, who's sitting on advertising dollars that Priestly desperately needs.  

To bring Runway back to life, her right-hand man Nigel (Stanley Tucci) turns to an unlikely new hire: Miranda's other former assistant, the once-unfashionable Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway).  Twenty years after making their iconic turns as Miranda, Andy, Emily and Nigel, Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci return to the fashionable streets of New York City and the sleek offices of Runway Magazine in The Devil Wears Prada 2, the eagerly awaited sequel to the 2006 phenomenon.

That's all.

Rose of Nevada with Mark Jenkin and George MacKay | Picturehouse

Hope Hopkinson talks to writer-director Mark Jenkin about his new film, Rose of Nevada, starring George MacKay and Callum Turner. 

‘A Cornish modern classic. Eerie, heart-breaking, wonderful.’

— Mark Kermode  

When a fishing boat, the Rose of Nevada, lost with all hands 30 years ago, mysteriously reappears in the old harbour of a forgotten Cornish village, for those who remember, it’s surely a sign.  The boat must go out to sea again and maybe then the luck of the devastated village will turn. Young father Nick (George MacKay) and enigmatic newcomer Liam (Callum Turner) join captain Murgey (Francis Magee), and they head to sea.  

But when they return, satisfied with their haul, something is amiss — they’ve slipped back in time, and the villagers greet them as if they are the original crew.  

Rose of Nevada is Cornish filmmaker Mark Jenkin’s hotly anticipated and critically acclaimed follow-up to his BAFTA-award-winning first feature Bait (2019) and Enys Men (2022).

Unique among British feature filmmakers for the analogue way in which he crafts his films, Jenkin once again serves as writer, director, director of photography, editor, sound designer and score composer.

The Stranger with Francois Ozon | Picturehouse

Hope Hopkinson talks to director Francois Ozon, about his new film, The Stranger. 

In 1930s Algeria, the apathetic Meursault (Benjamin Voisin) shows total indifference to life.  His emotional detachment leads to a murder, followed by a trial that scrutinises both the crime and his character.   Based on the monumental work of literature by Albert Camus,  Francois Ozon's The Stranger was selected for the official competition at the Venice Film Festival and UK-premiered at the London Film Festival.
