Showing at Rye Kino from Friday July 3:

London Road [15] 92 mins With an ensemble cast that includes Olivia Colman, Kate Fleetwood, Anita Dobson and Tom Hardy, London Road documents the events that shook the quiet rural town of Ipswich when the bodies of five women were discovered. The residents had struggled for years with frequent soliciting and kerb-crawling on their street and, using their own words set to an innovative musical score, the film follows the community who found themselves at the epicentre of the tragic events.

San Andreas (2D) [12A] 114 mins  After the infamous San Andreas Fault finally gives, triggering a magnitude 9 earthquake in California, a search and rescue helicopter pilot and his estranged wife make their way together from Los Angeles to San Francisco to save their only daughter. But their treacherous journey north is only the beginning. And when they think the worst may be over, it’s just getting started. Starring Dwayne Johnson, Alexandra Daddario, Carla Gugino, Ion Gruffud, Paul Giamatti and Kylie Minogue.

Queen and Country [15] 115 mins The long-awaited sequel to the five times Oscar-nominated masterpiece Hope and Glory, Queen and Country is the wonderfully witty but deeply moving new film by acclaimed director John Boorman. Focusing on Bill and Percy, two young and disillusioned army recruits in the early 1950s, the film follows their escapades as they while away their days chasing girls and making mischief. But the war in Korea is looming and authority is pressing in around them, creating tensions that will test their relationship to breaking point. Starring Richard E. Grant, David Thewlis, Tamsin Egerton, Sinéad Cusack, Vanessa Kirby, Callum Turner and Caleb Landry Jones.

Arthouse: All tickets £10 which includes a regular glass of wine, coffee or soft drink. Monday July 6 at 3:30pm and Thursday July 9 at 8:30pm at both Kino Hawkhurst and Kino Rye, and 12 noon on Saturday July 4 at Kino Rye.

Timbuktu [12A] 96 mins Subtitled  Mauritanian director Abderrahmane Sissako’s Timbuktu was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at this year’s Oscars and is based on the forceful takeover of Mali in 2012. Timbuktu is at once searing and poetic; an extraordinary fable about the dangers of religious extremism. In the town, people struggle under a regime of terror imposed by invading Jihadists. Music, laughter, cigarettes, even football have been banned and every day the new improvised courts issue tragic and absurd sentences. Kidane and his family are being spared the chaos by living in the dunes, but their destiny changes when he runs foul of the foreign occupants and is confronted by their merciless new laws.
