The Roses<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Elvis<\/em>, plus Everything Went Fine<\/em><\/a>, the new Fran\u00e7ois Ozon film about a young woman who wants to take her 85-year-old father to Dignitas (or similar) in Switzerland to end his life. That’s Entertainment! With Sophie Marceau and Charlotte Rampling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday evening, if you want to <irony> fight your way through the crowds <\/irony>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, on Thursday morning at 11:15, a documentary called The Princess<\/a><\/em>. It’s not about British Leyland’s legendary ‘land-crab’, but the woman who was supposed to be Queen of England around about now. You remember her. Forgotten her name. Including a Q&A with the director and producer. I’d ask them whether they are happy in their work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Guildhall<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sorry, I can’t help you. They haven’t updated their website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sherborne<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Elvis and Lightyear, plus, from Friday, The Railway Children Return<\/a><\/em>. Mark’s website describes it as ‘A perfect sequel to E. Nesbit’s much loved original filmed in the same locations’. What a pity E. Nesbit was too busy with socialism and imaginative writing to churn one out herself. Art by accountants: it’s all there on the screen. Scenery, trains, sentiment. With Tom Courtenay and, of course, Jenny Agutter. Last time I wrote about the original film, Pamela told me off for saying she waved her red drawers to stop a train. Actually, it was a petticoat. What would I know? I identify as a man. Such things are a mystery to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cineworlds<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cheltenham also has The Railway Children<\/em> (no industrial action in those imaginary days, naturally) but otherwise it’s all the same stuff as last week, except for Fruits Basket: Prelude<\/em><\/a>, which is a prequel to the world-conquering anim\u00e9 franchise. If you’re a newcomer, here’s Wikipedia: ‘Fruits Basket<\/em> tells the story of Tohru Honda<\/a>, an orphan girl who, after meeting Yuki, Kyo, and Shigure Sohma, learns that 13 members of the Sohma family are possessed by the animals of the Chinese zodiac<\/a> and are cursed to turn into their animal forms when they are weak, stressed, or when they are embraced by anyone of the opposite sex that is not possessed by a spirit of the zodiac.’ Hmm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It looks pretty enough (see picture), but \u2013 horror \u2013 it’s dubbed in whiny American. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gloucester has Kaduva<\/em>, an Indian crime film from about the Kerala police. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
