Films at Chichester Cinema at New Park - February 7-13
Adam Sandler gives a terrific, career-best performance in Uncut Gems as a crooked Manhattan jeweller with a perilous gambling habit in this rollicking, high-energy thriller. Will the blood diamond he obtains be his downfall or can his fast-talking get him out of deep, deep trouble?
More geezer-gangstery, but Brit-style, is what you take away from Guy Ritchie’s The Gentlemen, the characters patently not gents, with a star turn by Hugh Grant who plays a hacker-snoop turned screenwriter who reckons he has the goods on a drug baron, Mickey Pearson (Matthew McConaughey), and attempts blackmail for cash to produce a film. Expect fun and bad language.

Terrence Malik’s latest film, A Hidden Life, an exquisitely emotional and thorough account of an individual resisting state fascism during WW2, and is based on the true story of Franz who refused to fight for the Nazis.
France’s delicious La Belle Époque, stars Daniel Auteuil in his element as a cartoonist who is given a chance to relive his past life to save his marriage to the delectable Fanny Ardant, a handsomely crafted must-see.
Multiple prize-winning For Sama is one of the most profoundly intimate depictions of the Syrian conflict ever put to film. Director and mother of Sama, Waad al-Kateab’s story is not only a memorial to all that she’s sacrificed as a mother, but a rebellion against those who have made her suffer. Despite this, there is laughter, a buoyancy, a defiance shown by those who have endured living in Aleppo for five years.
