Calvary 151hr 41. Ireland/UK 2013. Directed by John Michael McDonagh. With ChrisODowd, Brendan Gleeson, Dylan Moran.

Father James Lavelle is a seemingly well-liked pillar of his rural Irishcommunity, which makes it all the more surprising when an unknown

person making their confession threatens to kill him in a weeks time.With no idea who might want him dead, or why, Father Lavelle sets outto try and identify which member of his ock is gunning for him, a process

which forces him to confront difcult aspects of his past. Brendan Gleeson

once again plays the lead in a John Michael McDonagh lm, following

their collaboration on The Guardin 2011, and support comes from ChrisODowd, Dylan Moran and Kelly Reilly.

Saajan (IrrfanKhan, Life of Pi), a government accountant, has ordered his lunchbox froma local restaurant but is instead receiving the home-cooked meals andsubsequently a correspondence is started between the two.

The Phoenix Cinema is one of the UKs oldest purpose-built,continuously operating cinemas. Beneath the vaulted ceiling whichdates back to 1910, the history of lm has been shared with millionsof audience members. From silent lms with live music through twoworld wars when newsreels were the only source of moving images thatcaptured events overseas; from the clicking reels of 24 frames a secondto the digital projection of today, the Phoenix has witnessed it all.

The other unique aspect of the Phoenix Cinema is that since 1985 ithas been run by a charitable trust on behalf of the local community.Saved from the wreckers ball by the formation of The Phoenix CinemaTrust, it is a wholly independent single screen cinema showing the latestindependent and foreign lms and reinvesting its prots in educationwork and maintaining the historic building.
