A timeless masterpiece of love and yearning, ‘L’Atalante’ was the only full-length film made by Jean Vigo before his tragic early death. The film is now considered to be one of cinema’s very greatest works.

Dita Parlo stars as a young bride who begins married life aboard her husband’s barge on the Seine. But within its cramped confines, shared with a small crew (including the eccentric Père Jules, memorably played by Michel Simon) and an abundance of cats, the relationship begins to flounder. Vigo imbues this simple tale, beautifully shot by Boris Kaufman, with social realism, lyrical romance and sensual eroticism to create a unique and enduring classic.

 “Utterly indescribable, partway between comedy and tragedy, romance and realism, film and dream. See it and swoon.”

- ★★★★★ Time Out

 “A masterpiece of sophistication, technique and human feeling.”

- ★★★★★ Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

In August 2017,  in the lead-up to national elections, Jacinda Ardern unexpectedly became New Zealand’s opposition party leader. She had just turned 37. Two frenetic months later, she was Prime Minister. Just before the final vote was in, she discovered she was pregnant. She would become only the second head of state in history to give birth while in office.

Going behind the scenes of her administration and her private life, PRIME MINISTER follows Jacinda for seven years as she is catapulted to the top of New Zealand politics, becomes a feminist political icon, resigns suddenly from office and continues to champion the fight against isolationism, fear, and the distortion of the truth.

Screenings of PRIME MINISTER will be followed by a 15 minute pre-recorded Q&A between Jacinda and film critic Rhianna Dhillon.

“One of the most arrestingly intimate political documentaries you’ll see.”

You’ve Got Mail the familiar 90’s romantic comedy from Nora Ephron moves through the seasons and features enough carol singing, tree decorating and twinkled New York streets to make it to our Forum screen this Christmas.

Struggling boutique bookseller Kathleen Kelly (Meg Ryan) makes an enemy of Joe Fox (Tom Hanks), the owner of a corporate Foxbooks chain store that just moved in across the street. When they meet online, however, they begin an intense and anonymous Internet romance, oblivious of each other's true identity.

Did you know You’ve Got Mail is loosely based on the 1940’s Jimmy Stewart holiday romance, The Shop Around the Corner, which we are screening December 21st and is half price when you book both films together.
