GREEN BOOK | Continuing
FIVE OSCAR® NOMINATIONS INCLUDING BEST PICTURE
Green Book is an uplifting true story of an odds-defying friendship that demands to be told on the big screen.
With strong performances from Mahershala Ali and Viggo Mortensen, Green Book succeeds in making its crucial subject of racial division in 1960s America into a smart, affecting and charming film.

DESTROYER | Continuing
In the tradition of films such as Heat, To Live and Dive in LA, and Training Day, director Karyn Kusama drops us into the world of Erin Bell (Nicole Kidman), a hardened LA detective who, many years ago, barely survived a brutal undercover operation. Anchored by a transformative performance from Kidman, Destroyer is fast-paced and hard-hitting.

THE PASSENGER | Opening
When David Locke (Jack Nicholson) impulsively exchanges identities with a businessman he finds dead in a North African hotel room, he believes he’s starting anew. But passing himself off as someone else doesn’t mean he’s escaping the past…
One of the great masterpieces from director Michelangelo Antonioni, this engrossing thriller features some of his most memorable and eloquent images.
Suspense, intrigue, wit, visual beauty, ideas: this classic has them all in spades.

EXHIBITION ON SCREEN: YOUNG PICASSO | Continuing
Pablo Picasso is one of the greatest artists of all time – and right up until his death in 1973 he was the most prolific of artists. Many films have dealt with these later years – the art, the affairs and the wide circle of friends. But where did this all begin? What made Picasso in the first place?
