1953 | Dir Henry Hathaway | USA | 92 min
Stars: Marilyn Monroe, Joseph Cotten, Jean Peters

This month is the 100th anniversary of Monroe’s birth, and we are screening an early film of hers, made when Hollywood was still working out what her ‘type’ should be. In this, her first colour film, she plays a femme fatale. Two married couples arrive at Niagara, and after a mix-up over the cabin they have booked, they become acquainted. One couple, George and Rose Loomis (Cotton and Monroe) are unhappily married, and Rose and her lover Ted have a plan to murder George. A classic film noir, even if it is in colour, and it made Marilyn a star.

2025 | Dir James McAvoy | UK | USA | 107 min
Stars: Séamus McLean Ross, Samuel Bottomley, James McAvoy

Based on an outrageous true story, California Schemin’ is a sharp, high-energy tale of ambition, identity, and musical make-believe. In the early 2000s in Dundee, aspiring rappers Gavin Bain and Billy Boyd are told they’re “too Scottish” for hip hop, so they reinvent themselves as Californian duo Silibil N’ Brains. Against all odds, the ruse works — record deals, media hype, and brushes with hip hop royalty follow. Funny yet moving, it’s a love letter to underdogs, but how far can you chase a dream built on a lie? A crowd pleasing directorial debut from the much loved actor, James McAvoy.

Stars: Mami Koyama, Mitsuo Iwata, Nozomu Sasaki

From visionary director Katsuhiro Ôtomo — creator of the original manga serial — comes the landmark cyberpunk animation. Set in the neon-drenched sprawl of Neo-Tokyo, a military experiment goes catastrophically wrong, when a teenage biker is transformed into an unstable psychic force of terrifying power. As the city teeters on the edge of destruction, only his closest friend stands between humanity and annihilation. Bold, visceral and visually breathtaking, Akira remains the defining masterpiece of Japanese animation.
