THE APPARITION at Genesis Cinema (06 SEP 21:00):

  • Presented by MUBI (ticket includes a free month’s subscription): Jacques (Vincent Lindon) is a war journalist at a leading newspaper in France. His reputation as an impartial and talented investigator attracts the attention of the Vatican who recruits him for a special task; to investigate the veracity of a divine apparition in a small French village.

LUST FOR LIFE at BFI (06 SEP 18:20):

  • Boasting a magnificently intense performance by Douglas as Van Gogh, this is one of the best Hollywood films about creativity. Shooting in carefully chosen locations, Vincente Minnelli and producer John Houseman contextualise the painter’s pictures with regard to his life.

REBECCA + READING at Nomad Cinema, Brompton Cemetery (06 SEP 20:00):

  • Hitchcock’s flawless adaptation of Daphne du Maurier’s classic Gothic novel stars Laurence Olivier and Joan Fontaine as the mismatched couple at the centre of this astonishing thriller.

C’EST LA VIE! at Ciné Lumière (06 SEP 18:30):

  • With thirty years of catering under his belt, Max has organised hundreds of parties. So organising a magnificent wedding in a seventeenth century château with a brigade of waiters, cooks, dishwashers, an orchestra, a photographer and all ingredients for a big celebration should be a piece of cake…

DISTANT VOICES, STILL LIVES at BFI  Southbank (06 SEP 14:30, 18:10 & 20:50):

  • Now that Eileen, Maisie and Tony are adults, their childhood memories – and in particular those associated with their father – are inconsistent. While Eileen clings to happier times, her siblings remember his brutal and violent nature. This troubled family must deal with the day-to-day alongside their past.

THE KING at DocHouse (06 SEP 13:30):

  • Eugene Jarecki takes a roadtrip across America in Elvis Presley’s 1963 Rolls-Royce to offer a state of the nation epic that tracks the rise and fall of one America’s greatest musical stars. From Memphis to New York, Las Vegas, and beyond, the journey traces the rise and fall of Elvis as a metaphor for the country he left behind.
