Sergei Parajanov's celebrated masterpiece paints an astonishing portrait of the 18th century Armenian poet Sayat Nova, the 'King of Song'. Parajanov's aim was not a conventional biography but a cinematic expression of his work, resulting in an extraordinary visual poem. Key moments in his subject's life are illustrated through a series of exquisitely orchestrated tableaux filled with rich colour and stunning iconography, each scene a celluloid painting alive with stylised movement.

Directed by Narciso Ibáñez Serrador (El televisor, The House That Screamed), the legendary master of horror dubbed the ‘Spanish Hitchcock’, Who Can Kill A Child? is his undisputed masterpiece, an extreme and unbearably tense work that remains deeply shocking in its disregard for societal taboos. With a cult reputation that has continued to grow among genre aficionados since its release in 1976, Who Can Kill A Child? is now considered not just as a landmark work of Euro-horror, but as one of the greatest horror films ever made (Slant Magazine).

Content warning: Please be aware that this version of the film contains a restored eight-minute documentary prologue composed of real archival footage of children suffering in global conflicts including The Holocaust, The Vietnam War and the Nigerian Civil War. The filmmakers included it to underline how adults have historically used and harmed children as helpless victims of conflict, but the use of real-life tragedies has proved controversial and disturbing for audiences.

Presented from a brand-new 4K restoration of the film courtesy of Radiance Films.

We are delighted to announce a very exciting edition of Music Video Preservation Society at the Prince Charles Cinema - with one of the most brilliant music video directors of all time: the one and only Tim Pope. 

Tim is among the most significant figures in the history of music videos, a pioneer in establishing its potential as an artform. He directed videos of boundless imagination, spirit and wit in service of the musicians and music he loves. And what a list of artists he’s worked with. From blagging his way into the just-emerging music video industry to direct promos for Soft Cell in the early 80s he blazed a trail with the likes of David Bowie, The The, Neil Young, Queen, Style Council, Talk Talk and, of course, The Cure - the band he is most closely associated with, for whom he has made by his own calculation, over 30 videos and several concert films. 

Tim has now written about his fascinating (and often hilarious) adventures making pop videos in the 80s, 90s and beyond - plus a nightmarish brush with Hollywood making ‘The Crow 2’ for Harvey Weinstein - in his brilliant memoir ‘I Shoot Rock Stars’, published in August and now a Sunday Times bestseller. 

And on November 18th, Tim is coming to The PCC to tell some stories from the book and more, in conversation with MVPS host David Knight - and he will also present a selection of his greatest music videos, now remastered back to their original glory, on the big screen. There will be classics, there will be surprises, there will be laughs, maybe a few tears... 

Will we be showing Tim's notorious video for Sex Dwarf? We're not saying until we have consulted our lawyers. But rest assured, this meeting of Music Video Preservation Society is going to be awesome. Tickets on sale now at the box office.

Directed by visionary science-fiction animator René Laloux (Fantastic Planet) and designed by the legendary Jean Giraud (a.k.a. Mœbius) The Time Masters is a visually fantastic foray into existentialist space adventure. After his parents are killed on the dangerous planet Perdide, young Piel (voiced by Frédéric Legros) survives by maintaining radio contact with Jaffar (Jean Valmont), a pilot transporting the exiled Prince Matton (Yves-Marie Maurin) and Princess Belle (Monique Thierry) from their former kingdom. Jaffar seeks the help of Silbad (Michel Elias), a cheerful old-timer who knows how to circumvent Perdide’s hazards, including brain-devouring insects and watery graves. Along the way, Jaffar and company encounter a pair of impish homunculi stowaways, identity-less angels controlled by an amorphous hive mind, and the Masters of Time, mysterious beings who can bend reality and perhaps reveal to the heroes their secret origins and destinies.

“One of the best TV and film podcasts” – The Telegraph

“What’s the best thing?” It’s a question for our times. It’s the question of our lives. And it’s one of Alan Partridge’s best-known phone-in topics.

Finally, as part of their 10-year birthday celebrations, the hosts of Monkey Tennis (the award-winning, chart-topping Alan Partridge fan podcast) will tackle it live, armed with only four microphones and a live audience. Join them as they pit elements of the APU (Alan Partridge Universe) against each other to determine, once and for all, the answer to Alan’s largest question: “What’s the Best Thing?” Will it be 'Alpha Papa’ or Sidekick Simon, a shop-soiled chocolate orange or a can of Sprünt, Flench and Sons Tanning or Bangkok Chick Boys?

Afterwards, they’ll also be speaking to star of I’m Alan Partridge (as well as Guardians of the Galaxy, Amandaland, Parks & Recreation, Shaun of the Dead, Spaced and 100+ more), Peter Serafinowicz, about his epic career and his time as Alan’s antagonist and lover of American things, Tex.

In the meantime, catch up on over 150 episodes of the Monkey Tennis podcast, covering almost everything Alan's ever done, at podfollow.com/monkeytennis

Oh hai Prince Charles Cinema website visitor… 

Tommy Wiseau's "masterpiece" The Room has been hailed as the biggest cult film since Rocky Horror. 

So bad it's good, it's drawn a cult following in the US with viewers acting out skits, storming out in disgust, and throwing plastic cutlery during screenings. However unlike other cult films such as Rocky Horror, or the Big Lebowski, these fans are drawn to how bad they regard the film to be! Come and see the birth of a cult with it's poor score, terrible acting and internet meme generating script.

"If a lot of people love each other the world will be a better place to live." - Tommy Wiseau 

"The Room" is not a movie IT IS THE EVENT! - Tommy Wiseau 

Johnny is a successful banker who lives happily in a San Francisco townhouse with his fiancée, Lisa. One day, inexplicably, she gets bored of him and decides to seduce Johnny's best friend, Mark. From there, nothing will be the same again.

Two legends of the theatre discuss life, the universe and pretty much everything else in this hugely admired conversation piece from Louis Malle.

Acclaimed playwrights, essayists and actors Wallace Shawn and André Gregory meet at Café des Artistes in Manhattan. Initially, Gregory dominates the conversation with his exploits over the course of the previous five years, from working with theatre groups in Europe to traveling through the Sahara. Shawn’s response is to ground the conversation in the virtues of everyday life – that its pleasures can be obtained through the simplest acts. Malle’s camera is the third member of the group and we are given a rare insight into the minds of two fascinating – albeit slightly fictional – people. My Dinner with Andre is a celebration of friendship, conversation and the pleasures of a cup of coffee.

An entire civilisation must confront its destiny in alternative-animation pioneer René Laloux's final feature, a cult classic of mind-bending science fiction. In a distant world, a merciless army of automata attacks Gandahar, turning its peace-loving people to stone. Hoping to discover the source of these Men of Metal, a council of matriarchs enlists the brave yet inexperienced warrior Sylvain (Pierre-Marie Escourro), who, while journeying through his planet's outer regions, teams up with the Deformed, a race cast out from Gandahar after failed science experiments rendered them mutants. Soon, Sylvain learns that a gargantuan brain called Metamorphis (Georges Wilson) is responsible for his utopian society's strife and—together with the beautiful Airelle (Catherine Chevallier)—travels through time to defeat him, in the process risking their lives and Gandahar's very existence. Featuring stunningly surreal creatures and wondrously bizarre environments designed by renowned comic-book artist Caza, Gandahar is a visceral, visionary head-trip in which animation opens a gateway to the furthest reaches of the imagination.

Sebastian (Ryan Gosling) and Mia (Emma Stone) are drawn together by their common desire to do what they love. But as success mounts they are faced with decisions that begin to fray the fragile fabric of their love affair, and the dreams they worked so hard to maintain in each other threaten to rip them apart.

In this classic film noir, insurance salesman Walter Neff (Fred MacMurray) gets roped into a murderous scheme when he falls for the sensual Phyllis Dietrichson (Barbara Stanwyck), who is intent on killing her husband (Tom Powers) and living off the fraudulent accidental death claim. Prompted by the late Mr. Dietrichson's daughter, Lola (Jean Heather), insurance investigator Barton Keyes (Edward G. Robinson) looks into the case, and gradually begins to uncover the sinister truth.

A detective starts spiraling out of control when a wave of gruesome murders with seemingly similar bizarre circumstances are sweeping Tokyo.

To win the right to marry his love, the beautiful princess Andromeda, and fulfil his destiny, half-God-half-mortal Perseus must complete various tasks including taming Pegasus, capturing Medusa's head and battling the feared Kraken.

Under the glare of the permanent Alaska sun, two veteran Los Angeles police officers close in on their suspect in the murder of a teenage girl. But when officer Will Dormer (Al Pacino) accidentally shoots his partner, their murder suspect, reclusive novelist Walter Finch (Robin Williams), witnesses the shooting--and blackmails Dormer. Now, as an idealistic local detective (Hillary Swank) investigates the case, and the stakes rise, Dormer's sanity begins to falter.

It's Such a Beautiful Day follows Bill, a seemingly ordinary, stick-figure man whose mundane routine is slowly disrupted by a mysterious, degenerative brain illness. As his condition worsens, Bill suffers from severe memory loss, surreal hallucinations, and a fractured perception of time and space.

When scientist Seth Brundle completes his teleportation device, he decides to test its abilities on himself. Unbeknownst to him, a housefly slips in during the process, leading to a merger of man and insect. Initially, Brundle appears to have undergone a successful teleportation, but the fly's cells begin to take over his body. As he becomes increasingly fly-like, Brundle's girlfriend is horrified as the person she once loved deteriorates into a monster.

Loner Mark Lewis works at a film studio during the day and, at night, takes racy photographs of women. Also he's making a documentary on fear, which involves recording the reactions of victims as he murders them. He befriends Helen, the daughter of the family living in the apartment below his, and he tells her vaguely about the movie he is making.

A case involving drug lords and murder in South Florida takes a personal turn for undercover detectives Sonny Crockett (Colin Farrell) and Ricardo Tubbs (Jamie Foxx). Unorthodox Crockett gets involved romantically with the Chinese-Cuban wife of a trafficker of arms and drugs, while Tubbs deals with an assault on those he loves.

The Critics speak!

“You’ll be swept away with Jessica Fletcher feels … it has the BEST HOST.” - Time Out London

"A cinematic, theatrical and hilarious experience ... Before the night I had never seen an episode of Murder, She Wrote before, unlike some dedicated fans who had even dressed up. However, this really was an evening everyone could enjoy.” - Nottingham Post


"As soon as I saw it was on at the [Edinburgh] Fringe I elbowed my way through the other BW reviewers, pushed a couple of them over … just so I could get to the front of the queue and see this show again. And it did not disappoint ... I'd go again in a heartbeat.” 5 stars ***** - Broadway World

"The self-confessed super-fan and award-winning playwright will lead you into a silly whirlwind of nostalgic giggle, using his wealth of camp trivia and sound logic to solve these killings.” 5 stars ***** - One4Review

"Benzie knows how to put on a great show ... I would happily see it again, with all the fervour of the ‘Jessica Fletcher eating popcorn’ meme." 5 stars ***** - Everything Theatre

“Whodunnit? Tim dunnit – and he did it so well I can’t wait for the next one!" 5 stars ***** - Fairy-Powered Productions

“This is a highly entertaining production even if you have never seen an episode, filled with outrageous fun." 4 stars **** - British Theatre Guide

"For a funny, campy evening, there is little that could beat Solve-Along-A-Murder-She-Wrote’s unique qualities and Benzie’s wit and charm. Personally this reviewer can’t wait to revisit

Easily excitable Neal Page (Steve Martin) is somewhat of a control freak. Trying to get home to Chicago to spend Thanksgiving with his wife (Laila Robins) and kids, his flight is rerouted to a distant city in Kansas because of a freak snowstorm, and his sanity begins to fray. Worse yet, he is forced to bunk up with talkative Del Griffith (John Candy), whom he finds extremely annoying. Together they must overcome the insanity of holiday travel to reach their intended destination.

Art versus commerce, friendship versus status, independence versus conformity—values clash and collide in Edward Yang's study of an increasingly Westernized country heading into the twenty-first century without moral guideposts. Moving from breakout hit A Brighter Summer Day's investigation of the past to a critical survey of the present, A Confucian Confusion charts the tangled web of emotional and professional manipulations among a group of young urbanites. At its center is Molly (Ni Shu-chun), director of a floundering public-relations firm. Alienated by the childish fiancé (Bosen Wang) who bankrolls her enterprise—and frustrated by the demands of an assistant, Qiqi (Chen Shiang-chyi), and her own fiancé, Ming (Wang Wei-ming)—Molly lashes out at everyone in her path and threatens to dismantle the company altogether. Meanwhile (amid several other subplots), Molly's talk-show-host sister (Chen Li-mei) attempts to dissuade her separated husband from continuing to write a dark novel about the return of Confucius to a jaded modern society. Injecting comedic elements into his patented brand of earnest soul-searching, Yang finds humor as well as pathos in the desperate behavior of a lost and lonely generation.

Designer Isaac Mizrahi proved a force of nature on the road to his legendary fall 1994 collection, a career-defining triumph that was documented with an effervescent intimacy by Douglas Keeve, Mizrahi’s then-partner. Both a time capsule of the buoyant, raucous 1990s, when pop culture and high art became interchangeable, and a vérité-style, in-the-trenches report on the daily agonies and ecstasies of the creative process, this seminal artistic portrait—sumptuously shot by Ellen Kuras and Robert Leacock—transcends glitz and glamour to offer an extraordinary view of the charisma and force of will inherent to genius, as well as its personal costs.

Wong Kar Wai’s loose sequel to In the Mood for Love combines that film’s languorous air of romantic longing with a dizzying time-hopping structure and avant-sci-fi twist. Tony Leung Chiu Wai reprises his role as writer Chow Mo-Wan, whose numerous failed relationships with women who drift in and out of his life (and the one who goes in and out of room 2046, down the hall from his apartment) inspire the delirious futuristic love story he pens. 2046’s dazzling fantasy sequences give Wong and two of his key collaborators—cinematographer Christopher Doyle and editor/costume designer/production designer William Chang Suk Ping—license to let their imaginations run wild, propelling the sumptuous visuals and operatic emotions skyward toward the sublime.

Hirayama is content with his life as a toilet cleaner in Tokyo. Outside of his structured routine, he cherishes music on cassette tapes, books, and taking photos of trees. Through unexpected encounters, he reflects on finding beauty in the world.

However, the bitter grump finds a hitch in his plans when he encounters the endearing Cindy Lou Who (Taylor Momsen).

John Lawrence (Tom Conti), the lone Japanese speaker among the interned British, tries to negotiate an uneasy equilibrium within the camp, which is overseen by the vicious Capt. Yanoi (Ryuichi Sakamoto). An ardent follower of the Bushido moral code, his eye is unexpectedly caught by the arrival Maj. Jack “Strafer” Celliers (David Bowie), an insolent and rabble-rousing new prisoner. Could Yanoi’s fascination with Celliers change everything?

A masterpiece of cunning and suspense… Miles Cullen (Elliott Gould, The Long Goodbye) discovers how interesting life can be when he is transformed from mild-mannered bank teller into daring, ingenious bank robber in a matter of seconds. Held up at the bank by the criminal Reikle (Christopher Plummer, Ordeal by Innocence), Miles manages to stash most of the money in a deposit box first. When Reikle realizes he’s been shortchanged, he plans to take revenge—and a great battle of wits ensues.

To keep the money, Miles reaches new heights of courage, seducing the robber’s girlfriend (Céline Lomez, Plague) and his boss’s mistress (Susannah York, The Killing of Sister George). Filled with equal parts intrigue, romance and unexpected twists, this chilling psychological thriller also features comedy legend John Candy (Delirious) in an early film role. The screenplay by future filmmaker extraordinaire Curtis Hanson (L.A. Confidential) was based on the book Think of a Number by Anders Bodelsen. Wonderfully directed by Daryl Duke (Payday).

Kurt Russell plays hard-boiled truck driver Jack Burton, who gets caught in a bizarre conflict within, and underneath, San Francisco's Chinatown. An ancient Chinese prince and Chinatown crime lord has kidnapped a beautiful green-eyed woman, who is the fiancee to Jack's best friend. Jack must help his friend rescue the girl before the evil Lo Pan uses her to break the ancient curse that keeps him a fleshless and immortal spirit.

On a seemingly ordinary day, Joe Turner (Robert Redford), a quiet CIA codebreaker, walks into his workplace and finds that all of his coworkers have been murdered. Horrified, Joe flees the scene and tries to tell his supervisors about the tragedy. Unfortunately, he soon learns that CIA higher-ups were involved in the murders. With no one to trust, and a merciless hit man (Max von Sydow) close on his tail, Joe must somehow survive long enough to figure out why his own agency wants him dead.

A gadget salesman is looking for a special gift for his son and finds one at a store in Chinatown. The shopkeeper is reluctant to sell him the `mogwai' but sells it to him with the warning to never expose him to bright light, water, or to feed him after midnight. All of this happens and the result is a gang of gremlins that decide to tear up the town on Christmas Eve.

Upper-crust executive Louis Winthorpe III (Dan Aykroyd) and down-and-out hustler Billy Ray Valentine (Eddie Murphy) are the subjects of a bet by successful brokers Mortimer (Don Ameche) and Randolph Duke (Ralph Bellamy). An employee of the Dukes, Winthorpe is framed by the brothers for a crime he didn't commit, with the siblings then installing the street-smart Valentine in his position. When Winthorpe and Valentine uncover the scheme, they set out to turn the tables on the Dukes.

When bratty 8-year-old Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) acts out the night before a family trip to Paris, his mother (Catherine O'Hara) makes him sleep in the attic. After the McCallisters mistakenly leave for the airport without Kevin, he awakens to an empty house and assumes his wish to have no family has come true. But his excitement sours when he realizes that two con men (Joe Pesci, Daniel Stern) plan to rob the McCallister residence, and that he alone must protect the family home.

The film follows the misadventures of Jack Skellington, Halloweentown's beloved pumpkin king, who has become bored with the same annual routine of frightening people in the "real world." When Jack accidentally stumbles on Christmastown, all bright colors and warm spirits, he gets a new lease on life -- he plots to bring Christmas under his control by kidnapping Santa Claus and taking over the role. But Jack soon discovers even the best-laid plans of mice and skeleton men can go seriously awry.

Dumped and depressed, English rose Iris agrees to swap homes with similarly unlucky in love Californian Amanda for a much-needed break.

Like Schoenbrun’s previous films I Saw the TV Glow and We’re All Going to the World’s Fair, it uses a horror genre lens to explore a rich array of themes and ideas – queer identity and sexuality, memory and nostalgia, the nature of female desire, the state of the entertainment industry – with humour, vulnerability and affection.
