Films showing from Friday, April 7, at Rye Kino
A Quiet Passion [12A] 125 mins
Cynthia Nixon delivers a triumphant performance as Emily Dickinson as she personifies the wit, intellectual independence and pathos of the poet whose genius came to be recognised only after her death. Acclaimed British director Terence Davies exquisitely evokes Dickinson’s deep attachment to her close-knit family along with the manners, mores and spiritual convictions of her time that she struggled with and transcended in her poetry. Also starring Jennifer Ehle, Keith Carradine and Duncan Duff.
Get Out [15] 104 mins
A white girl brings her black boyfriend home to meet her parents, whose superficially warm welcome masks an unthinkably dark secret.

Starring Daniel Kaluuya, Allison William and Catherine Keener.
The Lost City of Z [15] 141 mins
At the dawn of the 20th century, British explorer Percy Fawcett journeys into the Amazon, where he discovers evidence of a previously unknown, advanced civilisation.

National Theatre Encore: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, Thursday May 4, 7pm. Tickets on sale from 2pm Friday April 7
Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter, The Woman In Black), Joshua McGuire (The Hour) and David Haig (Four Weddings And A Funeral, The Witness For The Prosecution) star in Tom Stoppard’s brilliantly funny situation comedy, broadcast live from The Old Vic Theatre in London. David Leveaux’s new production marks the 50th anniversary of the play that made a young Tom Stoppard’s name overnight.
Against the backdrop of Hamlet, two hapless minor characters, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, take centre stage. As the young double-act stumble their way in and out of the action of Shakespeare’s iconic drama, they find themselves increasingly out of their depth as their version of the story unfolds.
Kino Art: The Artist’s Garden: American Impressionism plus Q&A with award-winning producer and director Phil Grabsky. Thursday, May 4, 8pm
This mesmerising film is a feast for the eyes. Taking its lead from French artists such as Renoir and Monet, the American impressionist movement followed its own path, which over a forty-year period reveals as much about America as a nation as it does about its art as a creative power-house. It’s a story closely tied to a love of gardens and a desire to preserve nature in a rapidly urbanising nation. Narrated by Gillian Anderson and travelling to studios, gardens and iconic locations throughout the United States, UK and France, the film features the sell-out exhibition The Artist’s Garden: American Impressionism and the Garden Movement, 1887–1920 that began at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and ended at the Florence Griswold Museum, Old Lyme, Connecticut.
