Acclaimed director Paolo Sorrentino helms this comedy drama about a one-time rockstar who sets out on an unlikely odyssey to track down the Nazi camp guard who tormented his father in Auschwitz. Sean Penn stars as Cheyenne, the leather-clad and lipsticked ageing rocker with an uncanny knack for pertinent aphorisms despite his general air of childish petulance, who now spends his days drifting aimlessly through a millionaire's lifestyle in Dublin with his long-suffering, down-to-earth wife, Jane (Frances McDormand), and a cloud of oddball hangers-on. When news comes of his estranged father's death, Cheyenne heads to New York for the funeral, and so begins his somewhat misguided quest for justice and redemption.
The debut feature of British actor Richard Ayoade, this coming-of-age comedy follows 15-year-old Oliver Tate (Craig Roberts) in his dual quest to keep his family together and to lose his virginity before his 16th birthday. Set in Swansea, the film charts Oliver's growing concerns about the relationship between his father, Lloyd (Noah Taylor), a depressive and recently-unemployed marine biologist, and his mother (Sally Hawkins), who appears to be harbouring a crush on fawning new age guru Graham (Paddy Considine). Meanwhile, Oliver ponders how to broach the sticky subject of sex with his eczema-prone, pyromaniac girlfriend Jordana (Yasmin Paige).
British comedy from the late 1940s starring David Tomlinson and Carol Marsh. The film follows wealthy socialite Susan Graham (Marsh) as she enlists the help of various zany characters in her eternal quest to cure herself of a never-ending bout of the hiccups.

Gay themed rom-com that follows the lives and loves of a group of metrosexual males. Sick of his life as a TV producer, Harry (James Lance) would sooner leaver it all behind and travel the globe, though he's currently in a relationship with struggling actor Alex (Luke de Woolfson). Meanwhile, William (Rocky Marshall) is finding it hard letting his new love interest Lawrence (Leon Ockenden) into his life, especially as his nine-year old daughter keeps throwing a spanner in the works.

Based on the second of Roddy Doyle's "Barrytown" trilogy, which includes The Commitments and The Van, The Snapper is a warmly comic and moving look at working class Irish life - full of vibrant and eccentric characters, heartaches and laughs. Sharon Curley is 20, works in a Dublin supermarket, lives at home and is pregnant. If that isn't bad enough, she adamantly refuses to name the father. In turn shocked, concerned, defensive, embarrassed and angry, her own father, Dessie, is determined to support her but as the small town is driven into a frenzy of gossip, his loyalty is soon put to the test. As speculation, suggestion and rumour mount will Sharon manage to keep her secret intact? Will Dessie continue to stand by his daughter and how will the 'snapper' be welcomed into the world?
Professor Lawrence Wetherhold might be imperiously brilliant, but when it comes to solving the conundrums of love and family, he's as downright flummoxed as the next guy. His teenage daughter is an acid-tongued overachiever who follows all too closely in dad's misery-loving footsteps, and his adopted, preposterously ne'er-do-well brother has perfected the art of freeloading. A widower who can't seem to find passion in anything anymore, not even the Victorian literature in which he's an expert, Lawrence seems to be sleepwalking through a very stunted middle age. When his brother shows up unexpectedly for an extended stay just as he accidentally encounters a former student, Janet, the circumstances stir him from his deep freeze, with often comical, sometimes heartbreaking consequences for himself and everyone around him.
More comedy from the chain-smoking American anti hero, determined to shock and anger in this recorded live performance. Includes material which some might find offensive.
