Triskel Christchurch Cinema

 

We’re back to our pre-Covid cinema days of Sunday-Thursday! It feels like a nice bit of normality finally. You still have a chance to watch The Worst Person in the World and Wolf, which are both showing until this Thursday.   For The Worst Person in the World, Trier set out to make a 'modern' romcom, ‘where it’s not about a woman finding a man in order to find purpose in her life, but to see how being with different people exposes her — to her anxiety, to her fear of commitment and to tease out all the comedy and chaos that comes out from that.’   To prepare to play the title character in Wolf, George MacKay worked for months to emulate lupine movements, and tried to uncover the headspace of someone who fully believes that they are a wolf trapped in a human's body. He spent much of lockdown crawling around on all fours in his home, waking up early to practice wolf-like movements in a nearby park.    Then from Sunday 17 April, we’re showing Paris, 13th District and Cries and Whispers.   Mark Kermode called Paris, 13th District ‘[A] bittersweet affair... flirts with the modern romcom genre while cheekily flipping the themes of Eric Rohmer’s My Night With Maud.’   When Bergman wrote the screenplay for Cries and Whispers, he intended from the start to cast Liv Ullmann and Ingrid Thulin. He explained his choice of Harriet Andersson of Agnes: ‘I would very much like to have Harriet, too, since she belongs to this breed of enigmatic women.’ Andersson had not worked with Bergman for years, and he sent her notes rather than a complete screenplay. Ullmann described receiving a 50-page ‘personal letter’ from Bergman describing the story which began, ‘Dear Friends: We're now going to make a film together. It is a sort of a vision that I have and I will try to describe it.’ See you soon Gillian and the team at Triskel Please note that all tickets must be purchased online in advance of attending at Triskel. There will not be a Box Office at the venue and you will not be able to purchase or collect tickets at the venue. Paris, 13th District (16) [F-Rated] 106 mins - France 2021 - Subtitles - Dir: Jacques Audiard Starring: Lucie Zhang, Makita Samba and Noémie Merlant   Set in the French capital’s 13th arrondissement, on the left bank of the Seine, the latest film by Jaques Audiard (The Beat That My Heart Skipped, A Prophet) charts the interwoven relationships between four twenty-somethings, played by Lucie Zhang, Makita Samba, Savages lead singer Jehnny Beth and Noémie Merlant, who played the artist in Portrait of a Lady on Fire. Capturing a very different Paris to the one that appeared in his previous films, which were dominated by the city’s underworld, Paris, 13th District is a modern story of love and life, reflecting the shifting attitudes towards identity and fidelity.   “Audiard brings his typical visual fluency to this entertaining collection of interlocking stories about characters hooking up in the 13th arrondissement” The Guardian Sun 17 April – 4.35pm Mon 18 April  – 8.35pm Tues 19 April  – 8.35pm Wed 20 April  – 5.45pm Book Tickets  Cries and Whispers (NC) 92 mins - Sweden 1972 - Subtitles - Dir: Ingmar Bergman Starring: Harriet Andersson, Liv Ullmann and Kari Sylwan   In Ingmar Bergman’s most resonant study of familial bonds, solitude, suffering and the female psyche, a dying woman is attended to in her rural mansion by her sisters and her maid.   The remarkable saturated colour scheme transcends mere recreation of early 20th-century furnishings and costumes, and performed to perfection, the film is an examination of the human soul. As critic Judith Crist wrote for her New York magazine review at the time of its original release, Cries and Whispers is "a work of genius— certainly the most complex, the most perceptive and the most humane of Bergman's works to date".   “Cries and Whispers is a great film, it must be experienced, not merely watched” Reel Views Sun 17 April – 2.20pm Mon 18 April – 6.20pm Tues 19 April – 6.20pm Wed 20 April – 6.20pm Book Tickets  The Worst Person in the World (16) [Academy Award Nominee] 128 mins - Norway/France/Sweden/Denmark 2021 - Subtitles - Dir: Joachim Trier Starring: Renate Reinsve, Anders Danielsen Lie, Maria Grazia Di Meo   On the verge of turning thirty, Julie is faced with a series of choices that force her to pursue new perspectives on her life in contemporary Oslo. Over the course of four years, she navigates love affairs and existential uncertainty as she starts deciding who she wants to become.   Academy Award Nominations for Best International Feature Film and Original Screenplay.   “(This) is the type of film that could completely impact the way the viewer sees the world, a phenomenal statement on life, love, and growing into yourself” Collider Mon 11 April – 8.10pm Tue 12 April  – 8.10pm Wed 13 April  – 8.10pm Thu 14 April  – 8.10pm Book Tickets  Wolf (15A) [F-Rated] 100 mins - Ireland/United Kingdom/Poland 2021 - Dir: Nathalie Biancheri Starring: Lily-Rose Depp, George MacKay, Paddy Considine and Eileen Walsh   Believing he is a wolf trapped in a human body, Jacob eats, sleeps, and lives like a wolf. Desperate for help, his family sends him to a remote facility that specialises in the treatment of species dysphoria. At the True You clinic, and under the watchful eyes of Dr. Mann and Dr. Angeli, Jacob and his animal-bound peers are forced to undergo increasingly extreme forms of ‘curative’ therapies. However, once he meets the mysterious Wildcat, and as their friendship blossoms into an undeniable infatuation, Jacob is faced with a challenge: will he renounce his true self for love? From acclaimed filmmaker Nathalie Biancheri (Nocturnal) comes a fascinating exploration of identity, self-acceptance and the lengths we’ll go to for love.   “Wolf is a film which deals with a highly psychologically complex condition, all while managing to weave in an ill-fated love story and a host of nuanced characters with tremendous skill” Film Ireland Mon 11 April  – 5.45pm Tues 12 April  – 5.45pm Wed 13 April  – 5.45pm Thu 14 April  – 5.45pm Book Tickets  Trailer: Paris, 13th District Welcome Back We’re delighted to welcome you all back to Triskel.
