Almodovar's Oscar-nominated 1988 classic launches Comedy Genius season
Ralph Breaks the Internet, aka Wreck-It Ralph 2 (in 2D and 3D naturally), is this week’s big box office contender, although those who enjoy watching sweaty blokes knocking seven shades of crap out of one another will rejoice at the arrival of Creed II (or Rocky 8, if you’re counting). There are also early charity screenings of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse on Thursday.
The Bristol Palestine Film Festival opens on Tuesday and continues into next weekend. Three seasons kick off at the Watershed: Comedy Genius with Almodovar’s Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown; the French Film Festival on Tour with Godard’s The Image Book; and, with a somewhat more selective appeal, a Terence Davies retrospective with a compilation of his early short films.
A month long run of free screenings of Christmassy films in Millennium Square also launches with Love, Actually on Thursday.
As usual, follow the links below for further details and screening times and go here for our comprehensive film listings.
