Based on Peter Morgan's stage play, Ron Howard directs this
dramatised account of the 1977 TV interviews between scandalised
former President Richard Nixon and British talk-show host David
Frost. Three years after the Watergate scandal that led to his
demise, former president Richard Nixon (Frank Langella) sat down
with Frost (Michael Sheen) to discuss, for the first and only time,
the details of his term in the White House and his spectacular fall
from grace. With the famously steely Nixon confident that he could
come out tops in the encounter, and Frost's side questioning
whether this was a step too far, media commentators prepared
themselves for a PR exercise. But when the interviews got underway,
observers were astonished when both men abandoned their usual
stances, and chose to conduct an open, honest and frank exchange of
views, covering all the areas of concern that had previously
remained off-limits. In addition to covering the interviews
themselves, the film also traces the difficulties that had to be
overcome, and egos that had to massaged, before the historic events
could finally take place.
A practical investigation of how comedy works, by a well-respected
practitioner and teacher. With a Foreword by Toby Jones. Comedy is
recognised as one of the most problematic areas of performances.
For that reason, it is rarely written about in any systematic way.
John Wright, founder of Trestle Theatre and Told by an Idiot,
brings a wide range of experience of physical comedy to this unique
exploration of comedy and comedic techniques. The book opens with
an analysis of the different kinds of laughter that can be provoked
by performance. This is followed by the main part of the book:
games and exercises devised to demonstrate and investigate the
whole range of comic possibilities open to a performer. Why Is That
So Funny? is an invaluable book for teachers and performers, and a
fascinating read for anyone interested in how comedy works.

Brought to you by Penguin. In Silverview John le Carre turns his
focus to the world that occupied his writing for the past sixty
years - the secret world itself. Julian Lawndsley has renounced his
high-flying job in the City for a simpler life running a bookshop
in a small English seaside town. But only a couple of months into
his new career, Julian's evening is disrupted by a visitor. Edward,
a Polish emigre living in Silverview, the big house on the edge of
town, seems to know a lot about Julian's family and is rather too
interested in the inner workings of his modest new enterprise. When
a letter turns up at the door of a spy chief in London warning him
of a dangerous leak, the investigations lead him to this quiet town
by the sea . . . Silverview is the mesmerising story of an
encounter between innocence and experience and between public duty
and private morals. In his inimitable voice John le Carre, the
greatest chronicler of our age, seeks to answer the question of
what we truly owe to the people we love. (c) The Literary Estate of

Carré, in which a semi-retired intelligence officer is assigned the
task of uncovering a high-ranking Soviet agent within MI6. When
British agent Ricki Tarr (Tom Hardy) discovers, courtesy of an
affair, that there may be a Russian agent operating at a high level
in MI6, it is clear that an investigation into the issue will be
delicate matter. Enter George Smiley (Gary Oldman), an old hand in
intelligence circles, and his associate, Peter Gulliam (Benedict
Cumberbatch). The pair are assigned the task of tracking down the
spy, but must do so under the radar of the MI6 leadership, for the
very reason that they are all under suspicion...
Inventive horror in which a sound engineer working in the confines
of an Italian movie studio becomes dangerously absorbed in his
work. The tale is set in the 1970s, when Italian horror films,
particularly those belonging to the 'giallo' genre, were known for
being shot soundless, with the effects and language tracks added
later so that the movies could be dubbed into multiple languages
and marketed more effectively abroad. The British sound engineer,
Gilderoy (Toby Jones), works in one such studio, stabbing and
otherwise assaulting vegetables to provide the requisite sounds for
a horror flick. However, the more time Gilderoy spends in the
studio, the more he is drawn into the world of the films on which
he works. Some of the horror seems to stem from within, as Gilderoy
revisits moments from his past, but it leaves him precariously
poised between the real world and the imaginative realm represented
by the films...

out of the studio and into the Greek wilderness that enthralled
Durrell the young naturalist. Duration: 2 hours approx.
