Shakespeare In Love

THEATRE HISTORY CINEMA

King’s Theatre, Edinburgh, Mon-sat

It’s hard to believe it’s 20 years since the hit film, which won seven Oscars including Best Screenplay, was released.

This Elizabethan epic features a young Will Shakespeare suffering writer’s block and a deadline for his next play fast approaching.

Then he meets Viola de Lesseps, beautiful daughter of a wealthy merchant, who’s prepared to do anything to fulfil her dream of performing on stage and pursuing an affair with the age’s greatest playwright.

Suspiria

Released on Fri

American remake of Dario Argento’s unsettling 1977 Italian horror cult classic, starring Dakota Johnson, Chloe Grace Moretz and Tilda Swinton.

A darkness swirls at the centre of a worldrenowned dance company, one that will engulf the artistic director, an ambitious young dancer, and a grieving psychotherapist. Some will succumb to the nightmare, others will wake up.

Already eliciting strong reactions, both positive and negative, this is proving to be a polarising film.
