I have made Film Cheltenham Online. I like watching, programming and discussing films. Get in touch If you'd like to write on this site.

The Mother

By John MorrishOctober 8, 2021 Categories: Films of the Week 2 Comments

The Mother (2003), directed by Roger Michell. English. 111 minutes. Tuesday (12/10), 21:00, BBC4. Not available elsewhere. It’s a pleasure to be able to recommend a film that you won’t be able to stream or download. I was able to track it down eventually, on a Russian pirate site, but I wouldn’t particularly encourage anyone… [continues]

YourScreen

FILM OF THE WEEK I haven’t really had a chance to look properly at the latest mini-season of films from YourScreen, the Cheltenham-based streaming service. It’s always worth a look, because it is making the effort to find interesting foreign-language and independent films. Anyway, this morning I watched Keeper (2015), a Belgian French-language feature that… [continues]

Films around Cheltenham from 2 October

By John MorrishOctober 1, 2021October 1, 2021 Categories: Films around Cheltenham Leave a comment

The Roses The Roses in Tewkesbury has Our Ladies, Respect and The Nest, none of which is new. The Guildhall The Guildhall has The Courier, Herself and Respect, none of which is new. On Friday (8/10) it has two screenings of a British documentary called After Shaun: A Suicide Awareness Film, directed by a man… [continues]

CIFF Lecture Invitation

By John MorrishSeptember 27, 2021September 27, 2021 Categories: Uncategorized Leave a comment

Leslie Sheldon, the indefatigable director of Cheltenham International Film Festival, is putting on his first annual festival lecture at the Parabola Arts Centre of Cheltenham Ladies College on Tuesday October 4, which is next week, at 5.30pm. He has kindly invited readers of this page or the newsletter to attend the talk, which is being… [continues]

The Tivoli

By John MorrishSeptember 25, 2021 Categories: Film news 6 Comments

O ye of little faith! I’ve bored everybody to death this year by telling them that the new Tivoli cinema at the back of the Regent Arcade in Cheltenham would a) never open and b) be crap. It opened this week. Yesterday, I wandered in to have a look. It’s rather nice. It is a… [continues]

Films around Cheltenham from 25 September

By John MorrishSeptember 25, 2021September 25, 2021 Categories: Films around Cheltenham Leave a comment

Well, things seem to have looked up a bit this week. One new film at The Roses in Tewkesbury and a handful at Cineworld in Cheltenham. The Roses The Roses has, at various points in the week, The Last Bus, Stillwater, and Our Ladies, all of which we already know about. The new film is… [continues]

Freeview films 18 to 24 September

By John MorrishSeptember 18, 2021 Categories: Freeview highlights Leave a comment

FILM OF THE WEEK Inside Man (2006), directed by Spike Lee. Paramount, Monday (20/9) at 22:55. Previewed by John Russell This is unusual territory for Spike Lee but definitely worth a look. Denzel Washington and Clive Owen are pitted against each other as hostage negotiator and taker, in a bank heist with unusual features. One is… [continues]

Music and Movements

By John MorrishSeptember 18, 2021 Categories: Odds and ends Leave a comment

The composer Gustav Holst (1874-1934) was profoundly catholic, in the true sense of the word: he was a universalist, broad in his spiritual and musical understanding, sympathies and interests. But he was also deeply connected with the rituals and personalities of 19th and 20th century Anglo-Catholicism, a strain in English religion that has not always… [continues]

Films around Cheltenham from 18/9/2021

By John MorrishSeptember 18, 2021September 18, 2021 Categories: Films around Cheltenham Leave a comment

Another dreary week for film in and around Cheltenham. Has everybody given up the ghost, I ask? Or have the muses of cinema deserted us? Last time I looked, they were on the outside wall of The Brewery, covered in vandal-proof perspex, having escaped the destruction of their home, The Odeon. I hope they are… [continues]

Summer Survivors interview

By John MorrishSeptember 10, 2021September 10, 2021 Categories: Film news, Uncategorized Leave a comment

This week I made my debut as a Zoom interviewer, talking to Marija Kavtaradze, brilliant young director of the Lithuanian film Summer Survivors, which is still available on YourScreen. Don’t take too much notice of their blurb. It makes it sound formulaic and depressing. It is neither. Here’s my write-up about it. Please excuse the… [continues]
