Went the Day Well (pg)
Cavalcanti’s film, based on a story by Graham Greene, still unsettles
with its subversive, almost surreal spectacle of a cosy English
village under Nazi attack in the Second World War.

Nottingham on Film (u)
A nostalgic look back at old Nottingham curated by MACE, the public
film archive for the Midlands. We’ll be remembering the city’s
war-time preparations, revisiting the Palais de Dance when cycle
ace Reg Harris came to town to launch Raleigh’s School of Cycling,
taking a tour of the St Ann’s estate soon after its opening.

Metropolis (pg)
It’s been called the most important find in cinema history. In
2008, a 16mm print of the complete, 150-minute version of Metropolis
- unseen since distributors cut Fritz Lang’s science fiction classic
by about 45 minutes shortly after its 1927 premiere - was unearthed
in a cinema archive in Buenos Aires. That spurred more than a
year of restoration efforts and now this “Holy Grail” among film
finds can finally be seen as the director originally intended
and as seen by German cinema-goers in 1927.

TAMARA DREWE 15
A
bright and amusing comedy about the foibles and loves of writers
in the West Country, inspired by Posy Simmonds’ graphic novel
(itself, loosely based on Thomas Hardy’s ‘Far from the Madding
Crowd’). Gemma Arterton plays Tamara Drewe, an ugly duckling who
ruffles the feathers of a handful of suitors after returning home
a sexy swan.
