Adapted by Christopher Hampton from the novel by Colette, this is a romantic drama set in 1920s Paris.  Chéri is in love with older woman Lea de Lonval but is forced by his mother to end the relationship and marry for position and wealth.  A game of seduction and love worthy of comparison with Dangerous Liaisons, an earlier collaboration of Frears, Pfeiffer and Hampton.

Based on Neil Gaiman’s children’s book, Coraline is a creepy fairy tale animation.  When Coraline moves house, she escapes her inattentive parents to explore, and finds a small doorway that leads to an other world. At first, it appears to be a dream world but she realises there is something more sinister at play.  A dazzling fantasy for brave children of any age.  

GENOVA   15
8pm Monday 29 June 2009
When his wife is killed in a car crash, Joe (Firth) moves to Genova with his two daughters, hoping to rebuild their lives.  The move changes all of them as his older daughter begins adulthood and the younger girl starts to see the ghost of her dead mother.  A gripping and intimate study of family relationships set against the claustrophobic back streets of the old town.

BEFORE MIDNIGHT   not rated: treat as PG
8pm Monday 6 July 2009
An unparalleled collection of short films and extracts from the BFI National Archive exploring life in India during the early 20th century.   Many of the films are home movies.   All stand as unwitting testimony of how lives were lived across the subcontinent, both Indian and British, in the era before independence was gained at the stroke of midnight on 14th August 1947.
