Featured attraction: THEOREM + Q&A with Terence Stamp at BFI Southbank (22 NOV 20:50): “An exhilarating mix of Pasolini’s political sentiments and poetic instincts, this measures the effects of a beautiful stranger’s unexpected arrival at – and later his equally sudden departure from – the mansion of a wealthy industrialist family.”

COLD WAR + Q&A with director Paweł Pawlikowski at Curzon Soho (22 NOV 18:15):

  • Paweł Pawlikowski follows his Oscar-winning IDA with the stunning COLD WAR, an epic romance set against the backdrop of Europe after World War II. Sumptuously shot in luminous black and white, it spans decades and nations to tell a love story that is as tragic as it is moving, and as transportive as it is honest.

THEOREM + Q&A with Terence Stamp at BFI Southbank (22 NOV 20:50):

  • An exhilarating mix of Pasolini’s political sentiments and poetic instincts, this measures the effects of a beautiful stranger’s unexpected arrival at – and later his equally sudden departure from – the mansion of a wealthy industrialist family.

THE VELVET REVOLUTION + PANEL with Pavel Seifter and Jiří Přibáň at Czech Centre London (22 NOV 19:00):

  • A testimony to the heady days following the 17 November 1989, this edited footage of interviews and news journals successfully evokes the atmosphere of the 30 days which paved the way to democracy in Czechoslovakia.

Films in London today: SUSPIRIA at Rio Cinema (22 NOV).

9 TO 5 at BFI (22 NOV 14:30, 18:20 & 20:40).

  • This gloriously feminist revenge comedy sees three put-upon office workers turn the tables on their sleazy boss. Judy (Jane Fonda), Violet (Lily Tomlin) and Doralee (Dolly Parton) bond over being mistreated by their boss: he yells at Judy on her first day, consistently takes credit for Violet’s ideas and sexually harasses Doralee. Fed up with him, and the sexist practices of their office, they dream of his removal.

SUSPIRIA (2018) at Rio Cinema (22 NOV 17:00 & 20:15):

  • A very original re-visit to Dario Argento’s 1977 cult horror classic by the director of CALL ME BY YOUR NAME features powerful performances from Tilda Swinton (x2), Dakota Johnson, Chloë Grace Moretz and Mia Goth plus a haunting score from Radiohead lead singer Thom Yorke.

THE WORKSHOP at ICA (22 NOV 16:15):

  • Director Laurent Cantet’s Palme d’Or winning film THE CLASS (2008), used documentary style and improvisation by its teenage cast to trace a teacher’s interactions with his working-class high school students. Centring on a writing class comprising working-class Black, Arab and white students led by a celebrated Parisian novelist, THE WORKSHOP starts out looking similar but soon reveals its differences.
