35TH ANNIVERSARY! One of Martin Scorsese’s most iconic films, GOODFELLAS reinvigorated the gangster picture with the rise-and-fall true story of a ‘wise guy’ named Henry Hill who advances through the mobster ranks before turning FBI informant. Starring Ray Liotta in the lead role, the film follows Hill, a half-Irish, half-Sicilian New York kid who grows up idolising the Italian-American gangsters in his impoverished Brooklyn neighbourhood. He begins hanging around the mobsters, running errands and doing odd jobs until he gains the notice of local chieftain Paulie Cicero, who takes him in as a surrogate son. As he reaches his teens, Hill is inducted into the world of petty crime, where he distinguishes himself as a "stand-up guy" by choosing jail time over ratting on his accomplices. From that moment on, he is a part of the family. Along with his psychotic partner Tommy, he rises through the ranks to become Paulie's lieutenant; however, he quickly learns that, like his mentor Jimmy, his ethnicity prevents him from ever becoming a "made guy," an actual member of the crime family. Soon he finds himself the target of both the feds and the mobsters, who feel that he has become a threat to their security with his reckless dealings. With seminal supporting performances from Robert De Niro, Paul Sorvino, Lorraine Bracco and Joe Pesci, who won an Oscar for his portrayal of the volatile Tommy DeVito, GOODFELLAS is a truly timeless Scorsese masterpiece, and is at its best on the big screen.

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.
