Opening the Twin this Friday is Benedict Cumberbatch and Claire Foy in The Electrical Life of Louis Wain. "Stands heads and shoulders above the usual biopic, thanks to Benedict Cumberbatch's performance and a rather whimsical take on its source material" (EW). Louis Wain was many things during his incredible life: artist, inventor, entrepreneur and caretaker. After adopting a stray kitten, he went on to paint the extraordinary images of cats that made him world famous
All work and no play this week? Get playful by scaring yourself with one of the best horror films ever! Join us at the Original on Oct 23, 24 & 26 with screenings of Stanley Kubrick's The Shining, a movie that never gets old. Take it from us, it can be watched again and again (BEST on the big screen). Halloween isn't the same without it!
Look out for the new 4K restoration of Andrzej Žulawski’s 1981 film Possession, Friday Oct 22 & Sunday Oct 24 at the Original.
Starring Sam Neill and Isabelle Adjani, who won best actress at Cannes for her performance in a tale that is part intense marital drama, part psychotronic horror freakout. It has been exciting over the past few years to see Žulawski’s work reappraised, and this new release of Possession should further stake its place in the contemporary canon.
ROCKY HORROR kicks off this week! Screenings start on the 27th and continue through the 31st.
Some shows are already sold out, so if you've been meaning to get tickets, do it now!
There really is no better way to celebrate Halloween in KW; Rocky Horror at the Princess is a 36 year tradition!
Our Jim Jarmusch series continues at the Original. The Original and Jim Jarmusch have a long history together, which is why we're thrilled to bring back his 1995 film, Dead Man, on Oct 22 & 25. It's a bizarre, funny, almost mystical take on the Western, starring Johnny Depp and Gary Farmer, with a haunting score by Neil Young. Must-see!
We're always excited to bring you more films from Studio Ghibli, and this week we have The Secret World of Arrietty at the Original.
"[The film] pulses with feeling for childhood and nature and develops a surprising amount of suspense considering it takes place around a single suburban home." - Chicago Reader
