Ken Russell directs this biographical drama starring Rudolf Nureyev as Italian-American actor Rudolph Valentino. The film begins at the 31-year-old actor's funeral in 1926 in New York and, using flashbacks, backtracks to his glory days when the former ballroom dancer used his good looks and charm to mould a successful silent movie career and become one of the first male screen idols in Hollywood.
Waris Hussein directs this British drama starring Mark Lester and Tracy Hyde. After falling in love with his classmate Melody (Hyde), ten-year-old schoolboy Daniel (Lester) announces his intention to marry her as soon as possible. His plans are met with opposition from his parents and his best friend Ornshaw (Jack Wild), who is jealous of the attention Daniel has been giving Melody. However, ignoring the protests of those around him, Daniel carries on undeterred and begins recruiting his classmates to help him organise a secret ceremony in one of his hideouts well away from the eyes of the disapproving adults.
Keith Michell plays the controversial, most feared and much-married king of England, whose life is seen here in a series of flashbacks as he reflects on his deathbed.
David Cronenberg directs this drama based on the relationship between the two founding fathers of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung. The film, which draws from both the stage play, 'Taking the Cure', by Christopher Hampton and the 1993 book, 'A Most Dangerous Method', by John Kerr, also portrays Jung's sexual affair with one of his female patients. Set in early 20th century Europe, the film traces the intense personal and professional relationship between Freud (Viggo Mortensen) and his protégé, Carl Jung (Michael Fassbender). When married family man Jung takes in beautiful young Russian patient Sabina Spielrin (Keira Knightley) for treatment at his clinic in Switzerland, she quickly becomes his muse and the two soon embark on a passionate sadomasochistic affair. Meanwhile, Freud and Jung's views and theories are developing in opposing directions, eventually leading to an insurmountable rift between the two.
