Jacquot de Nantes (PG)Wed 15 Aug, 20:20Dir Agnès Varda/FR 1991/118 mins/French wEng STPhilippe Maron, Edouard Joubeaud, Laurent Monnier

Jacquot de Nantes tells the story of a child and his obsession to become a filmmaker, how he buys his first camera, and shoots his first amateur film, marking the beginning of one of the most prestigious careers of any French director: Jacques Demy. The story is told with emotion by his life partner Agnès Varda.

Agnès Varda: Gleaning Truths.

Thu 26 Jul – Sun 26 AugRevered for her bold political and autobiographically inspired work, Agnès Varda is a seminal feminist filmmaker and matriarch of the French New Wave. Her influential career began in the 1950s with La Pointe Courte - often considered the unofficial first film of the New Wave - and continues seven decades later, as in 2017 she became the first female director to be awarded an honorary Oscar.Our Agnès Varda season starts on Thu 26 Jul with a One Hour Intro and La Pointe Courte, and we preview Faces Places on Fri 27 Jul. homemcr.org/agnes-varda

Agnès Varda focuses on the intertwined lives of two women brought together during the struggle of the women’s movement in 1970s France. This subject remains all too familiar with Varda who was personally involved with the movement.

The Gleaners & I (U) (Les glaneurs et la glaneuse)Mon 20 Aug, 20:40Dir Agnès Varda/FR 2000/79 mins/French wEng ST

In 2000, Agnès Varda travelled the French countryside to study the world of foragers and scavengers called The Gleaners. Describing herself as a gleaner of ideas and images from interior as well as exterior journeys gives the director a special connection with her subjects in this honest and intriguing documentary.

The Killing (PG)Sat 25 Aug, 18:10Dir Stanley Kubrick/US 1956/85 minsSterling Hayden, Coleen Gray, Vince Edwards

Kubrick’s account of an ambitious racetrack robbery is one of Hollywood’s tautest, twistiest noirs. Aided by a radically time-shuffling narrative, razor-sharp dialogue from pulp novelist Jim Thompson, and a phenomenal cast of character actors, The Killing is offers a cold-blooded punch to the gut.

Jackie Brown (15)Tue 28 Aug, 19:50Dir Quentin Tarantino/US 1997/154 minsPam Grier, Samuel L. Jackson, Robert Forster

Elmore Leonard is undoubtedly one of the finest and most prolific of contemporary pulp writers and his novel Rum Punch is given a surprisingly mature transfer to the big screen by Tarantino. A work that looks at race and class, the film features a compelling central performance from Pam Grier as the eponymous airline stewardess who becomes embroiled in a world of crime.

Devil in a Blue Dress (15)Thu 30 Aug, 20:40 Dir Carl Franklin/US 1995/101 minsDenzel Washington, Tom Sizemore, Jennifer Beals

Directed by Carl Franklin and brilliantly shot by Tak Fujimoto, this is one of the few novels by black hard-boiled writer Walter Mosley to make it to the screen. Following the exploits of Watts detective Easy Rawlins, the film takes a long hard look at institutionalised racism in America and the nefarious nature of US politics.

The Dark Page.

Sun 5 Aug - Wed 5 SepTaking its title from acclaimed book by Kevin Johnson, The Dark Page reviews the literary background of film noir and the influence of key writers such as Raymond Chandler but also the impact of black authors such as Walter Moseley and female writers, in a traditionally male domain, including Patricia Highsmith and Dorothy B. Hughes.homemcr.org/the-dark-page

Rear Window (PG)Sun 5 Aug, 13:00 Tue 7 Aug, 20:25Wed 8 Aug, 13:00Dir Alfred Hitchcock/US 1951/114 minsJames Stewart, Grace Kelly, Wendell Corey

L.B. Jeffries, a photographer with a broken leg, takes up the art of spying on his Greenwich Village neighbours during a summer heat wave. One of cinema’s finest observations of the act of looking, this is perhaps the best-known adaptation of a work by prolific, somewhat underrated New York writer Cornell Woolrich.

Shoot the Pianist (15) (Tirez sur le pianist)Fri 10 Aug, 18:30 Dir François Truffaut/FR 1960/78 mins/French wEng STCharles Aznavour, Marie Dubois, Nicole Berger

In a brilliant piece of casting, celebrated French chanteur Charles Aznavour stars in François Truffaut’s whip-smart, scintillating second film – a combination of mischievous, tongue-in-cheek homage to American noir and effervescent, inventive French New Wave.

The Long Goodbye (18)Sun 12 Aug, 17:50 Dir Robert Altman/US 1973/110 minsElliott Gould, Nina van Pallandt, Sterling Hayden

When private eye Philip Marlowe is visited by an old friend, this sets in motion a series of events in which he’s hired to search for a missing novelist and finds himself on the wrong side of vicious gangsters. Misunderstood for decades, it is now regarded as one of the outstanding American films of its era.

In a Lonely Place (PG)Thu 16 Aug, 20:40 Dir Nicholas Ray/US 1950/91 minsHumphrey Bogart, Gloria Grahame, Frank Lovejoy

When a gifted but washed-up screenwriter with a hair-trigger temper becomes the prime suspect in a brutal murder, the only person who can supply an alibi for him is a seductive neighbour with her own troubled past. This emotionally charged film, adapted from a Dorothy B. Hughes thriller, is a brilliant, turbulent mix of suspenseful noir and devastating melodrama. This new restoration will screen in 4k.

The Friends of Eddie Coyle (15)Sat 18 Aug, 18:00 Dir Peter Yates/US 1973/102 minsRobert Mitchum, Peter Boyle, Richard Jordan

In one of the best performances of his career, Robert Mitchum plays small-time gunrunner Eddie “Fingers” Coyle in an adaptation by Peter Yates of George V. Higgins’ acclaimed novel. Directed with a sharp eye for its gritty locales and an open heart for its less-than-heroic characters, this is one of the true treasures of 1970s Hollywood filmmaking.

Mildred Pierce (PG)Sun 2 Sep, 13:00Tue 4 Sep, 20:30Wed 5 Sep, 13:00Dir Michael Curtiz/US 1945/111 minsJoan Crawford, Jack Carson, Zachary Scott

After her cheating husband leaves her, Mildred Pierce proves she can become independent and successful, but can’t win the approval of her spoiled daughter.

Strangers on a Train (PG)Sun 19 Aug, 13:00 Tue 21 Aug, 20:35Wed 22 Aug, 13:00Dir Alfred Hitchcock/US 1951/103 minsFarley Granger, Robert Walker, Ruth Roman

In a world of shadows, Patricia Highsmith looms large in terms of crime writing and exploring the dark and twisted underbelly of the human psyche. In Hitchcock’s adaptation of one of her earliest works a psychotic socialite confronts a pro tennis star with a theory on how two complete strangers can get away with murder… a theory that he plans to implement.

Threads (15)Thu 30 Aug, 18:00Dir Mick Jackson/GB 1984/112 minsKaren Meagher, Reece Dinsdale, David Brierly

Written by Barry Hines (Kes), Threads is the story of a working class family in Sheffield with a new baby on the way and everything to look forward to. And then the USSR invades Iran, NATO condemns the action, and the Soviets plant a couple of missiles on the steel city.

The Arbor (15)Sun 19 Aug , 18:00Dir Clio Barnard/GB 2010/94 minsManjinder Virk, Christine Bottomley, Natalie Gavin

COURSE/ France On Screen, Now...and Then.

8 weeks, from Mon 8 Oct18:30 – 20:30Tickets: £80 full / £60 concs

What has happened to France and its people over 50 years, between les événements of May 1968 and now, between the last year of De Gaulle and the first year of Macron? How does a major national cinema engage with change – through films that deal directly with ‘social issues’ or through the details of familiar genres? We can’t hope to cover everything, so we’ve selected two issues – the impact of 1970s feminism and changes in employment practices and the workplace. We’ll screen two very different films directed by women and explore the range of different genres and filmmaking approaches in French cinema.Led by Isabelle Vanderschelden, Senior Lecturer in French Studies, Manchester Metropolitan University and Roy Stafford, Freelance Film Educator.Beginners level, no prior knowledge necessary.homemcr.org/france-on-screenThe course includes two screenings:

This is England (18)Sat 22 Sep, 15:30Dir Shane Meadows/GB 2006/103 minsThomas Turgoose, Vicky McClure

This is England is a masterpiece of working class storytelling. Set in 1983, the story belongs to 12 year old Shaun (Thomas Turgoose), finding a sense of belonging with a group of local skinheads. Turgoose and co-stars including Vicky McClure light up a film where great human drama is played out in greasy spoons and at rowdy house parties.

Attack the Block (15)Sat 22 Sep, 18:30Dir Joe Cornish/GB 2011/88 minsJohn Boyega, Jodie Whittaker, Alex Esmail

Billy Liar (PG) + IntroductionSun 23 Sep, 13:10Dir John Schlesinger/GB 1963/95 minsTom Courtenay, Julie Christie

Few films tell a heart-breaking story as hilariously as Billy Liar, the tale of a young clerk lost to daydreams in his Yorkshire home town – those daydreams gleefully brought to life on screen. But beneath the playfulness the film is a masterclass in melancholy. Released into a Britain newly smitten with working class pop culture, it forever sealed the fame of dockworker’s son Tom Courtenay.
