Presented by Roving Picture Shows and City Cinema. Dir: Ingmar Bergman, Sweden, 1982, Drama. Kristina Adolphson, Börje Ahlstedt,Pernilla Allwin. In Swedish and German with English subtitles. Winner of 4 Oscars including Best Foreign Language Film. "The warmth, humour and compassion of this wonderful turn-of-the-century family saga make it one of the most accessible movies ever made by Sweden's greatest director. The story, which covers two years in the life of a well-to-do household as seen through the eyes of a small boy, is rendered all the more fascinating by the autobiographical elements that Bergman has included and by Sven Nykvist's Oscar-winning photography. The film takes us on a magical mystery tour of the child's encounters with his oppressive, puritanical father, his God-fearing mother and his loving family in an atmosphere that is both cosy and scary. The result is an unmissable experience from a master film-maker. 5/5" - Tom Hutchinson, Radio Times (UK)

Dir: Ido Fluk, Germany/Poland/Belgium, 2025, Drama/Music. Mala Emde, John Magaro, Michael Chernus. In German and English with English subtitles. “On 24th January 1975, jazz musician Keith Jarrett performed to a sell-out crowd at Köln’s Opera House whilst playing a broken piano. The recording has since become the best-selling solo jazz album of all time… Köln 75 tells the amazing true story of how the evening came to be… When 18-year-old aspiring promoter Vera Brandes throws herself into the bohemian live music scene, she causes a stir with her infectious enthusiasm... Meanwhile, Jarrett was touring on the road in Germany… his path inevitably crosses with Vera’s, and the wheels behind the concert are set in motion… The first chapter is essentially the coming-of-age tale of our protagonist. Skipping class, clashing with her conservative parents, and navigating teen romance(s), Vera lights up the screen… the middle third shifts focus to Jarrett’s more sombre route to the famous stage, but the elements come together nicely for an exhilaratingly chaotic final act… We get a real sense of Brandes’ fun and riotous nature through Mala Emde’s leading turn… Magaro is compelling in the role of Jarrett… he paints a vivid portrait of a tortured artist… There’s an intoxicating punk rock spirit to Köln 75’s jazz-infused narrative.” - Garry Arnot, Cinema Perspective

Dir: Richard Linklater, France/US, 2025, Drama. Zoey Deutch, Guillaume Marbeck, Aubry Dullin. In French and English with English subtitles. "Linklater’s elegant love letter to the influential era in French cinema would be a towering achievement even if it did no more than generously invite budding cinephiles to film history without intimidating them. But the American auteur of loose-limbed rhythms and organically flowy dialogues accomplishes a lot more with his joyously beautiful telling of the making of Jean-Luc Godard’s game-changing Breathless. In stunning black and white, and with the grainy sound quality of the era, he gives new life to the period picture, making it romantic, exquisitely detailed, and timeless. With Guillaume Marbeck and Zoey Deutch’s enthralling and uncannily exacting performances as Godard and Jean Seberg, the list of masters Nouvelle Vague honors is as rich as the film that surrounds them. Linklater loves this period, and he wants to make you a lover, too." - Tomris Laffly, Elle
