Mr.Jones (15)

Academy Award nominee, Polish director Agnieszka Holland (Europa Europa, Spoor, Total Eclipse) new film MR.JONES brings to the screen the extraordinary untold story of Gareth Jones, an ambitious young Welsh journalist who travelled to the Soviet Union in 1933 and uncovered the appalling truth behind the Soviet ‘Utopia’ and Stalin’s regime. Initially a regular news investigation, Jones’ quest quickly turned into a life-or-death journey of survival.

Today Gareth is recognised world-wide as a fearless journalistic legend and a true Welsh hero and his extraordinary bravery, unique experiences and stubborn pursuit of the truth helped inspire generations of writers including George Orwell’s famous allegory Animal Farm

NT Live: Cyrano de Bergerac (12A)

Fierce with a pen and notorious in combat, Cyrano almost has it all – if only he could win the heart of his true love Roxane. There’s just one big problem: he has a nose as huge as his heart. Will a society engulfed by narcissism get the better of Cyrano – or can his mastery of language set Roxane’s world alight? Edmond Rostand’s masterwork is adapted by Martin Crimp, with direction by Jamie Lloyd (Betrayal). This classic play will be brought to life with linguistic ingenuity to celebrate Cyrano’s powerful and resonant resistance against overwhelming odds.

Parasite (15)

Bong Joon-ho’s terrific social satire Parasite grabbed all bar two of the six Oscars it was nominated for: Best Picture, Best International Feature, Best Director and Best Original Screenplay. The first two of those wins are monumental achievements, marking the first-ever South Korean victories in either category – all the more impressive given the competition that Parasite was up against. Director Bong’s film stole the limelight from Sam Mendes’ war drama 1917 and Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, among others.

The Kim family are close. All four live in a tiny basement flat and all four are unemployed. But when the son, Ki-woo, is recommended by his friend to take a well-paid tutoring job, hopes of a regular income blossom on the horizon.

There’s only one small issue — he’s not a qualified teacher and has to fake it. Carrying the expectations of all his family, Ki-woo heads to the extravagant Park family home for an interview and after securing the job discovers they also need an art tutor for their son, something he thinks his sister could pretend to do…if they don’t know she’s his sister. Soon the whole family has infiltrated the Park home but as their deception unravels events begin to get increasingly out of hand in ways you simply cannot imagine.

Winner of the Palme d’Or, Bong Joon-ho reminds us that he is one of the world’s most exciting, talented and entertaining directors with the hilarious, scathing, thrilling and utterly unique Parasite.
