THE COUNSELLOR 16

132 mins - USA 2013 - Dir: Lee Daniels Starring: Forest Whitaker, Oprah Winfrey and Vanessa Redgrave

120 mins - UK 1973 - Dir: Stephen Dwoskin Starring: Jenny Runacre, Pat Ford and Catherine Kessler

116 mins - UK/USA 2013 - Dir: Ridley Scott Starring: Michael Fassbender, Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz

A White House butler, who served seven American presidents over three decades, sees the dramatic changes that swept through society from the civil rights movement to Vietnam and beyond.

A couple spend their wedding anniversary in Paris, but the romantic city soon becomes a backdrop to bitter disputes over the state of their lives in this poignant and wonderfully performed comedy drama.

This neo-noir from Cormac McCarthy is beautifully written, handsomely directed and features great performances. Ignore the mixed critical reception, see The Counsellor and make up your own mind.

“A brilliantly truthful film” New York Times

“Sophisticated, sharp and funny” The Telegraph

Phantoscope is Triskel Christchurch’s quarterly experimental cinema event. It launches with Dyn Amo, Stephen Dwoskin’s visceral and controversial exploration of the distinction between a person’s self and the projection of that self to others, set in a seedy strip club provides.
