Yves Saint Laurent hits French screens in early 2014.

The Only Lovers Left Alive

Belle

Injecting a bit of realism into the bonnets and breeches genre, Belle tells the fascinating and true story of Dido Elizabeth Belle, the mixed?race daughter of a British Naval officer and an African woman. Taken to England by her father, Dido raised by his uncle, the Lord Chief Justice, as an aristocratic lady alongside her cousin.

Winter’s Tale

Lady Sybil lives! Our nation’s son Colin Farrell is back where he belongs as the romantic lead in this love across the time-space-continuum supernatural drama. ?Russell Crowe also stars as the dastardly villain and attempts an Irish accent. Expected in cinemas this Spring.

Interstellar

After the phenomenally successful and acclaimed Dark Knight Trilogy, Christopher Nolan returns to the big screen with Interstellar. With Michael Caine, Casey Affleck, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain and Matthew McConaughy starring it promises to be a science fiction epic about a team of scientists trying to find a way for humanity to survive. The release date is pencilled in for November.

12 Years A Slave

Critics and stateside audiences are in universal agreement that this movie is one of the most powerful cinematic experiences in recent memory. Telling the true story of a free black man in pre-civil war New York, played by?Chiwetel Ejiofor, who is abducted and sold into slavery. This movie tells of his struggle to live under the ownership of a sadistic Michael Fassbender while retaining his dignity and hope for a better existence.
