From th sam production initiativ that brought us Lady Macbth, Francis L s critically applaudd God s Own Country is an arthy romanc btwn two farmhands st in Yorkshir. It hits our scrns with a cabint of fstival awards pickd up from Sundanc, Brlin and Edinburgh. Th most in-dmand thrillr writr of our tims, Taylor Shridan (Sicario, Hll or High Watr) vnturs bhind th camra for Wind Rivr (winning himslf a Bst Dirctor award in Canns in th procss). In it, a rooki FBI agnt (Elizabth Olsn) mploys a local animal trackr on a Nativ Amrican rsrvation (Jrmy Rnnr) to invstigat a murdr across a brutal landscap dvastatd by violnc and th Wyoming wintr. Th most agrly awaitd buddy movi also lands in our cinmas Victoria and Abdul is th ral-lif story of Qun Victoria s unlikly frindship with an Indian srvant, Abdul Karim. Cinmagors looking forward to Dam Judi Dnch portraying Britain's longst rigning monarch (again) with hr customary touch of wit and poignancy will not b disappointd. Th 1980 Wimbldon mn s singls final forms th focal point of th gripping and hugly ntrtaining Borg vs McEnro, th gladiatorial pairing of th Swdish Björn Borg and Amrican John McEnro (Hollywood badboy Shia LaBouf, in a carr-bst prformanc). Th programming tam ar most looking forward to Mothr! from Black Swan dirctor Darrn Aronofsky. It s a chillingly dark and twistd mystry that pairs Jnnifr Lawrnc with Javir Bardm.

It s th story of Robin Cavndish (Andrw Garfild) who, with th hlp of his wif Diana (Clair Foy), found a way to ovrcom th normous obstacls causd by th polio virus. Thr was somthing about this script which is byond just making anothr movi Your producing partnr Jonathan is dirctly involvd in th story. Ys. Jonathan had bn thinking about making a film about his parnts lif and wantd to find th right prson to writ th scrnplay. H saw th stag vrsion of Shadowlands and thought, God, who wrot that? Of cours, it was Bill Nicholson. Bill was thn writing Elizabth: Th Goldn Ag (2007). Jonathan took him out to lunch and said, Look, I want to pitch you a diffrnt story. Th fabl gos that Bill put his fork into his food and wnt to lift it up to his mouth, but it nvr got thr. Jonathan kpt on with th story. Bill said, I want to writ this and I want to writ this with you. But on on condition: it s not for a studio

25 48 49 or anyon ls. W just writ it and lt it volv. Thn I cam on board with som arly drafts this was a fw yars latr and thy workd intrmittntly ovr th cours of th nxt thr or four yars. Th world of disability is not alin to m. I was brought up in a mdical family: my fathr s a doctor and my mum taught disabld kids, so I grw up with childrn who had polio and spina bifida all thos disass that wr rally prvalnt around th 1960s and 1970s. And my sistr is an MS suffrr and whlchair bound. So on of th things I strongly rlatd to was th sns that it s difficult nough to mov around in a whlchair now, in 2017, whr thr ar disability rights. But back thn? What I also lovd about th story, apart from it bing th most incrdibl lov story, was th fact that ths guys wr pionring a nw kind of lif for th first tim things that had nvr bn don bfor. Thy wr taking incrdibl chancs, but with ths chancs cam this xtraordinary lust for lif. For m, it s not a mawkish, sntimntal disability story. Far from it it s a lif affirming, bautiful tal of living two minuts away from dath, but living lif with th utmost intnt. Was it a challng to st up and film? W wr incrdibly blssd. It was such a strong script. On th pag it mad popl vry motional th sam as whn you watch th film, in a way. It was amazing to b abl to snd it to Bob Richardson, our thr-tim Acadmy Award-winning cinmatographr. H lovd th script but hadn t don anything lik it. H works with filmmakrs lik Tarantino and Scorss. So to bring him onto what was ostnsibly a small British film was incrdibl. Evryon ls that w wantd from th production and dsign sid also cam on board. And thn thr is th cast. Andrw and Clair wantd to b involvd bcaus thr was somthing about this script which is byond just making anothr movi. It was this incrdibl prsonal story with Jonathan and his parnts at th cntr of it. Bing abl to talk to Jonathan and Diana too to hav grat ancdotal storytllrs thr allowd thm to kp a sns of truthfulnss to th motion of th story. Th physical challngs must hav bn tough for Andrw Garfild. H was abl to tap into this vast rsourc of Diana s own xprincs, as was Clair. And thn thr ar all th mdical facts rgarding what Robin wnt through in trms of tratmnt. H was a vry athltic individual, as w show at th bginning of th film, so Andrw rally wnt into th whol sports sid of it and also what his military lif had bn. H got undr th skin of that so that whn h spnt th rst of th movi only acting from his had up, h was abl to fully undrstand what Robin might hav xprincd.

27 52 53 A Royal Dam Judi Dnch s illustrious carr continus with anothr royal rol. By Philip Kmp Two dcads ago, Dam Judi Dnch playd Qun Victoria in John Maddn s Mrs Brown (1997), with Hr widowd Majsty finding hrslf drawn to hr plain-spokn Scots ghilli, playd by Billy Connolly. And now sh s Qun Vic again, falling for an vn mor socially problmatic court srvant young Indian clrk Abdul Karim (Ali Fazal) in Victoria and Abdul. In this film, adaptd from th book by Shrabani Basu and dirctd by Stphn Frars, th Qun maks Karim hr prsonal footman and gts him to tll hr about mangos, tach hr Urdu and xpound th Koran. In btwn hr two Victorias, Dam Judi triumphd as anothr Qun, Elizabth I, in Shakspar in Lov (1998), famously winning hr a Bst Supporting Actrss Oscar for a mr six minuts on scrn. Victoria and Abdul is yt anothr xampl of Dnch doing what sh dos bst

28 54 55 Dnch has always crditd Mrs Brown for hr cinmatic rnaissanc, insisting sh had no film carr bfor thn. In fact, sh s bn apparing in films sinc th mid-1960s, though it s tru that, lik hr frind and contmporary Maggi Smith, sh was initially much mor widly acclaimd for hr stag work. It took svral dcads for hr scrn rputation to catch up; not until th 1990s did th momntum bcom unstoppabl. Th turning point cam in 1995, whn sh assumd th rol of M in GoldnEy th first tim a woman had bn cast as Jams Bond s boss tlling Pirc Brosnan s 007 h was a sxist, misogynist dinosaur, a rlic of th Cold War. Unlik prvious actors who starrd as M, sh was always crditd And Judi Dnch as M and wnt on to play th rol in six mor Bond movis, culminating in Skyfall (2012), whr hr part was so cntral to th plot that sh was Danil Craig s co-star. Socially commanding authority rols and not only royal ons sm to com naturally to Dnch: Lady Bracknll in Th Importanc of Bing Earnst (2002), Lady Cathrin d Bourg in Jo Wright s Prid & Prjudic (2005) and, lss aristocratic but no lss autocratic, th titl charactr in Mrs Hndrson Prsnts (2005), th wll-off widow who buys th Windmill Thatr in Soho and uss it to mount nud rvus. Evn in th two Marigold Hotl films, it fls lik sh along with fllow Dam Maggi Smith is th on in control, as sh was whn sh playd Mrs. Fairfax in th 2011 production of Jan Eyr. Lss socially lvatd rols ar qually wll within hr rang. In Philomna (2013), sh taks th titl rol as an ldrly Irish woman whos illgitimat son was takn from hr by th Church and now, 50 yars latr, hops to find him. Sh plays opposit Stv Coogan s cynical journalist hlping hr with hr qust, dploying a pitch-prfct Irish accnt (for which sh crdits hr Irish dscnt on hr mothr s sid). Hr Philomna has a bright-yd, Mrs Tiggy-Winkl-ish charm, as sh th plots of Mills & Boon novls in grat dtail and innocntly dlightd by finding a chocolat on th pillow of hr smart Washington DC hotl. Now 82 and with no intntion of rtiring, Dnch may b in dangr of bing clbratd as a national trasur. It s an ida sh firmly rjcts. I hat that. Too dusty, too in a cupboard, too bhind glass, too staid... I always want to do th most diffrnt thing I can think of nxt. Nots on a Scandal (2006) was crtainly vry diffrnt, with Dnch as a lonly, bittr and malicious schooltachr who, frustratd in hr wooing of a youngr collagu (Cat Blanchtt), spitfully blackmails hr. To th surpris of som of hr fans, it provd that Dnch can play nasty with conviction. But Dnch s rgal quality, whthr it s issuing commands from a statroom at Buckingham Palac or an offic in th SIS Building ovrlooking th Thams, has bcom th bdrock of hr scrn carr. Victoria and Abdul is yt anothr xampl of Dnch doing what sh dos bst balancing snsitivity with bit. It s a combination that has won hr fans th world ovr. And will continu to do for as long as sh appars on th scrn. Victoria and Abdul opns 15 Sptmbr

Shot in richly-txturd monochrom by Alxy Rodionov, Pottr s collaborator on Orlando (1992) and Ys (2004), Th Party harks back to an oldr cinma in its thatrical brio, capturd in clvr clos-ups. (And ys, that s Martha and Jinny, in a savvy nod to Mik Nichols 1966 adaptation of Who s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?) But Th Party also has an incrdibl burning immdiacy.

Writtn and shot in 2016, th film has uncanny prscinc and prsnc: hr is our politics falling apart bfor our ys, as th lft in-fights ovr who said what about Mariann whil th kitchn litrally catchs fir.

33 64 65 Ys Comrad Armando Iannucci turns a dictator s dath into a dark and riotous satir. By Ian Haydn Smith Do som topics li byond th rmit of comdy? Stalin was rsponsibl for killing millions of popl, so should dspots lik him only vr b th subjct of srious historical dramas? Ml Brooks didn t think so whn h playd a rapping Hitlr in To B or Not to B (1983). Nithr dos Armando Iannucci whn it coms to Uncl Jo. In contrast to Brooks knockabout Führr, th humour in Iannucci s Th Dath of Stalin is blakr, pulling no punchs. Opning on th night of th Russian ladr s dmis, it tlls th story of th powr grab that pitchd Cntral Committ mmbrs against ach othr and was rsolvd, aftr much bloodshd and loss of lif, shortly aftr Stalin s funral. Th film is basd on th graphic novl writtn by Fabin Nury and illustratd by Thirry Robin (whos stark visual styl can b sn in th frams ovrlaf). But anyon familiar with Iannucci s body of work, from his collaborations with Stv Coogan and th foul-mouthd brillianc of Th Thick of It to In th Loop (2009) and Vp, will rcognis his ton and humour. What marks Th Dath of Stalin as a progrssion in Iannucci s work is not so much his dcision to tak on ral historical Th battl at th hart of this film is btwn Bria and Khrushchv

34 66 67 charactrs. (Aftr all, Th Thick of It s Malcolm Tuckr is considrd a thinly vild vrsion of Alistair Campbll prhaps to avoid a dfamation suit.) It s mor his willingnss to show th full brutality of th Sovit rgim. An arly scn highlights this approach. Lavrntiy Bria (Simon Russll Bal) jokingly planting a rip tomato in Nikita Khrushchv s (Stv Buscmi) trousr pockt at a dinnr with thir ladr, is intrcut with a squnc faturing victims civil srvants, doctors, ordinary workrs of Stalin s purg bing roundd up for imprisonmnt or summary xcution. Not that th mn at th top ar byond such prils; Bria nots to Khrushchv that fllow dinr and Committ mmbr Molotov (Michal Palin) will soon b joining his wif in prison. It s this contrast, btwn comdy and gnuin horror, which maks Iannucci s film so ffctiv a satir. Th cntrpic is th Glorious Ladr s Stat funral. It s a rambunctious affair with vry committ mmbr in attndanc. Also thr, puncturing th politicians ovr-inflatd gos, is Gorgy Zhukov (Jason Isaacs, spitting bil through a northrn accnt), th had of th Rd Army. H also attmpts to control Vasily Stalin (Ruprt Frind), th ladr s inbriatd son and a public mbarrassmnt. Evn his sistr Svtlana (Andra Risborough) can t control him. Manwhil, Molotov furiously commnts that somon has invitd thos fucking prists a sombr-looking pack from th outlawd Russian Orthodox Church just as Khrushchv hilariously attmpts to jocky positions to win th prmium plac in front of Stalin s coffin. It s occupid by Stalin s dputy Gorgy Malnkov (Jffry Tambor, sporting a fin toup), a man so chronically unfit to succd as ladr h maks Mik Pnc look crdibl as a futur US Prsidnt. But Malnkov s not th targt of Khrushchv s powr play. It s Bria, Ministr of Hom Affairs and th had of th NKVD, Stalin s scrt polic. Th battl at th hart of this film is btwn Bria and Khrushchv. If th nxt ladr of th Sovit Union coms across as th mor affabl if no lss conniving mmbr of th Cntral Committ, thn Bria is its raging Id. Playing him as a foul, pstilnt individual, it s Russll Bal s finst scrn prformanc to dat. H rfuss to soft pdal th charactr or lt his joks ingratiat him with audincs. Bria rminds us, throughout this coruscatingly funny film, xactly what th human fac of trror looks lik: a bland, boorish and hartlss man drivn by prsonal grd and ptty jalousis much lik his formr boss.

35 68 69 Th Bad and th Bautiful Forgt Wimbldon. Tnnis finally gts th movi it dsrvs. By Ian Haydn Smith Call it Clash of th Titans. Th othrwis tranquil nvirons of th All England Lawn Tnnis and Croqut Club, bttr known as Wimbldon, was a hubbub of simmring passions, dodgy hadbands, long hair straight and curly and xplosions of pur rang on 5 July 1980, whn Björn Borg mt John McEnro for what has sinc bn dscribd as on of th gratst matchs of all tim. On that day in th UK (as wll as much of Europ and Amrica), it didn t sm to mattr whthr you likd tnnis or not it was inconcivabl that anyon was planning to do anything othr than watch two wildly diffrnt charactrs go to war on Cntr Court. Thr was th Swd, Borg (Svrrir Gudnason), a prfctionist and stratgi- cal gnius who was known for his spd and th havy topspin h put on both his forhand shots and two-handd backhand. Facing him was th upstart from Quns, Nw York. (Although as th son of an US airman, h was actually born in Wisbadn, Wst Grmany.) McEnro (Shia LaBouf) was a dmon with th volly and his accuracy was startling. If thir styl of play was markdly diffrnt, thir prsonalitis wr mor so. Th Swd was all coolnss a charming man and th McEnro was th sport s dvil incarnat to Borg s Swdish dity

Th Amrican was brash, confrontational and oftn downright rud. McEnro s tirads hav bcom th stuff of lgnd and his tradmark catch-phrass, particularly You cannot b srious, ar now shoutd back at him whrvr h gos. It was this mix of playing styl and prsona along with th fanfar and mdia circus built up around ths mn that mad this final such a draw. No wondr that a film should b mad about it. Dirctor Janus Mtz Pdrsn dscribs th ncountr btwn Ic Borg and Suprbrat as th tnnis quivalnt of Raging Bull, Martin Scorss s viscral 1980 account of th lif of boxr Jak LaMotta. And as Scorss focusd as much attntion on th shnanigans backstag shnanigans as h did LaMotta s imprssiv rcord in th ring, so Mtz rcords th strss and anxitis facd by th playrs and thir tams of hlprs and coachs as thy progrssd through this gruling comptition. Borg might hav bn at th top of his gam, but at 24, th tnnis star had bn worn down by th prssurs of fam and constantly bing in th public y. (It would rach fvr pitch with his marriag to Romanian tnnis pro Mariana Simionscu shortly aftr this tournamnt.) As for McEnro, at 20 h was just hitting his strid. Th rcord-braking champion, now a rspctd commntator on th sport, discussd his bhavior in Srious, th first volum of his mmoirs. In it, h admits that his surpris at th audinc raction to an arly outburst promptd him to dvlop his on-court prsona. Thr was also th tnacity and thick skin rquird of bing a mmbr of a larg Nw York family. But for anyon watching, McEnro was th sport s dvil incarnat to Borg s Swdish dity. Tnnis has prviously bn poorly srvd by cinma. Woody Alln s Match Point (2005) mployd th gam as a mtaphor, whil th yar bfor Wimbldon usd th tournamnt as th backdrop to a romantic comdy. Thr hav bn documntaris, mad-for-tv biopics and faturs such as Spring Fvr (1982), Th Brak (1995) and Brak Point (2014). But this yar ss th tnnis film up its gam.

42 82 Th Films That Mad Us. Curzon staff mmbrs discuss films that inspir thm.

Evn though it was almost 50 yars old, Truffaut s fatur dbut flt lik on of th frshst films I d sn. Th Frnch Nw Wav was a complt dpartur from what had prcdd it, and th rbllion pourd out of vry fram: from th sns of frdom th roaming camra gav, to th city landscap taking on th form of a charactr in its own right.
