Our Next Presentation: Olivier Assayas’s Personal Shopper
THE CRAMPHORN THEATRE, CHELMSFORD – Tuesday 20th March @ 8PM
A young American in Paris works as a personal shopper for a celebrity. She seems to have the ability to communicate with spirits, like that of her recently deceased brother. Soon, she starts to receive ambiguous messages from an unknown source. Kristen Stewart brings an outstanding performance, unforced and unaffected, full of urgency and terror – a Hitchcockian Poltergeist meets Single White Female, in this intriguing, stylish film.

Set in the unpromising world of German business consultancy, here is a low-key triumph: an affecting, weird and thoughtful treat, and possibly the funniest two-and-a-bit hours of German cinema you will ever experience. But there are serious undertones to consider as this tale of a fraught relationship between father and daughter develops. A chance to see the original before the rumoured Hollywood remake is released. 
Journalist and documentarian Tyrnauer (Valentino: The Last Emperor) turns his attention to legendary writer and urban activist Jane Jacobs and the David-and-Goliath battle she fought over urban planning in New York more than 50 years ago. The historic neighbourhoods of Greenwich Village and Little Italy are under threat from divisive and destructive ‘expressways’. Exciting and inspirational, here is a much needed lesson in how the power of the people can overcome the self-serving plans of the rich and powerful.
