'THE LIFE OF CHUCK'

EVERY LIFE IS ITS OWN UNIVERSE.

On to the comps - and wrapping up today is our giveaway for 'The Life of Chuck'. The life-affirming, gene-bending story based on Stephen King’s novella, 'The Life of Chuck' is a beautiful and unconventional tale that unfolds in reverse, exploring the life of Charles Krantz in three distinct acts. Tracing Chuck’s life through moments of joy, sorrow, and wonder, it’s a deeply emotional meditation on memory, mortality, and the small, profound moments that shape a human life. Click here now to win one of nine double passes to see 'The Life of Chuck' in cinemas, but hurry - entries close today.

'MR BURTON'

AN AMAZING CHANGE.

Also wrapping up today is our giveaway for 'Mr Burton'. Before the fame. Before the legend. There was a teacher who saw the fire. Set in post-war Wales, 'Mr Burton' is the powerful true story of the bond between a gifted teen and the mentor who helped shape him into the acting great, Richard Burton. This is one for lovers of British drama, theatre, and stories that stir the soul.

'PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK'

BACK TO THE HEART OF A MASTERPIECE.

It's 50 years since 'Picnic at Hanging Rock' first appeared in cinemas, and it may be the finest film this country has produced, based on the finest novel this country has produced. It's a bottomless well, deep and dark, so rich in ideas and provocations while utterly refusing to ever explain itself. Each time we watch it, we are lowered down into it, so deep that all light ceases to exist and we are left in the dark, cold and shivering and alone, convinced that the dark around us is full of unseen eyes, unseen hands, the haunted whispers and laughs of young female voices, threatening to gently take us and pull us into the abyss where they have wandered, missing, for over a hundred years. To venture back to what sits at the very heart of 'Picnic at Hanging Rock', click here now to join Daniel as he revisits the Australian classic in his retrospective review.

'SCOTT PILGRIM VS THE WORLD'

NOT HERE TO MAKE MONEY AND STUFF.

It’s been 15 years since ‘Scott Pilgrim vs. the World’ first exploded onto our screens. You sense that there is complete freedom of expression to every wave of his wand over the frame, so much so that we dare not question the absurdity of it all. Click here now to find out how it all came to be in our retrospective review of 'Scott Pilgrim vs the World'.

'BABE'

CELEBRATING THIS LOVELY LITTLE MIRACLE.

There are films that seem to exist outside of time and place, either their own or ours. 30 years after 'Babe' first trotted on to the big screen, it's still just as funny, just as forceful, just as moving, and just as rousing as it ever was. Babe is a beautifully crafted character, voiced rambunctiously by Christine Cavanaugh with open-hearted warmth and emotion, but his power as a character is the way he unlocks those around him. To take a trip back to the farm as Daniel revisits 'Babe' three decades after its release, click here now.
