The Impressionists are the most popular group in art history – millions flock every year to marvel at their masterpieces. But, to begin with, they were scorned, penniless outsiders. 1874 was the year that changed everything; the first Impressionists, “hungry for independence”, broke the mould by holding their own exhibition outside official channels. Impressionism was born and the art world was changed forever. What led to that first groundbreaking show 150 years ago? Who were the maverick personalities that wielded their brushes in such a radical and provocative way? The spectacular Musée d’Orsay exhibition brings fresh eyes to this extraordinary tale of passion and rebellion. The story is told not by historians and curators but in the words of those who witnessed the dawn of Impressionism: the artists, press and people of Paris, 1874. Made in close collaboration with the Musee d’Orsay and National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C.

Two of contemporary European cinema’s brightest stars - Guillaume Canet and Alba Rohrwacher - are electric together in award-winning writer/director Stéphane Brizé's achingly tender and charming new romance about two former lovers who unexpectedly cross paths in a sleepy holiday town. It's winter. Approaching his 50th birthday, successful screen actor Mathieu (Canet) is facing a crisis of confidence; just weeks out from his much-anticipated stage debut, he has fled rehearsals to check into a luxury health spa on the Brittany coast, leaving both the play’s perplexed director and his wife back home in Paris. But being a major A-list celebrity, it’s impossible for Mathieu to lay low… recognised everywhere he goes, the hotel staff and fellow guests are both ecstatic and intrigued about his presence, and the requests for selfies never end. Then suddenly, Mathieu receives a text message from Alice (Rohrwacher), a woman he’d dated fifteen years prior, who’s heard he’s in town; she's now a wife and mother who by chance lives nearby. They agree to meet for lunch, each evidently torn by the manner in which they parted… Beautifully written, Brizé’s elegant and wryly funny story of choices made and what might have been is distinguished by the exquisite chemistry of Rohrwacher and Canet, who deliver deeply-felt performances of subtlety and restraint. Drawing comparisons with such humanist and emotionally affecting works as David Lean’s 'Brief Encounter', Sofia Coppola’s 'Lost In Translation' and Celine Song’s recent 'Past Lives', Brizè’s intimate and affecting film is a delight from beginning to end.

From Academy Award-winner Paolo Sorrentino ('The Great Beauty', 'Youth', 'The New Pope'), PARTHENOPE is a visually and aurally stunning, decades-spanning romantic drama about a Neapolitan woman’s search for happiness and fulfilment. In 1950, near the Bay of Naples, young Parthenope is born in the Mediterranean Sea, just outside the crumbling castle where she will spend her childhood. She is named - by her family’s rich, boorish benefactor - after the legendary Greek siren associated with the foundation of what became modern-day Naples. As her teenage summers pass, Parthenope (portrayed by breakout star Celeste Dalla Porta) grows into a statuesque and intellectually captivating young woman, holding everyone around her in her thrall. She soon learns to navigate the complexities of a distracted and emotionally volatile family, the endless attention of boys and men, and the rigorous expectations of academia, where she becomes something of a disciple of her anthropology professor (Silvio Orlando). Through tragedy, lost loves and professional setbacks, Parthenope remains dedicated to the singular beauty of Naples, with its many memorable characters, but also its uneasy mix of commerce, religion, crime and class. An intoxicating and complex reflection on objectification, and the way people see themselves and others, Sorrentino provocatively shifts between the sacred and the profane. With gasp-worthy visuals from award-winning cinematographer Daria D’Antonio ('The Hand Of God'), fashion design by Saint Laurent, and a perfectly pitched soundscape, PARTHENOPE does for Naples, Capri and the Amalfi Coast what The Great Beauty did for Rome. It’s a spectacular, challenging and immersive experience.

Unfortunately, there are some issues and Ray’s honky white head is grafted onto the black-is-beautiful body of former footballer turned actor Rosey Grier.

The two-headed transplant effects are largely achieved by having Ray rest his chin on Rosey’s shoulder and dressing them both in an XXXL sports jacket. They don’t make ‘em like this anymore – which is a great shame. Director: Lee Frost Stars: Ray Milland, Rosey Grier, Don Marshall, Chelsea Brown
