FROM 31 Mar
Allelujah
Richard Eyre
Starring Judi Dench, Jennifer Saunders and Derek Jacobi in this charming adaptation of Alan Bennett’s play about old age.
Lorenzo Lanzillotti’s autobiographical study of a relationship under stress, recounted by a young man struggling with bipolar disorder, is a homage to 60s cinema, switching from black-and-white to colour and back again.
Imaginatively photographed in the countryside near Lake Garda, and with an impressive score, the film rewards patience. Warning: during a protracted sequence on a golf course, anyone in the audience who loves the game is advised to avert his or her eyes.
