The more romantic among you need look no further than The Cameo as a destination on Valentine's Day, Sunday 14 February.
For the afternoon we're bringing back one of our most popular double bills of the last few years, BEFORE SUNRISE and BEFORE SUNSET, in which two people explore the attraction they have for each other in Vienna and then, nine years later, in Paris.
Commencing at 1.30 - and as with all of our Sunday Double Bills, it is FREE to Cameo Members.
If you are looking for a cuddle in the evening then you can come along to BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S at 6.15. One of the two recent marriage proposals in The Cameo's Screen One was made at this very film so you never know what might happen.
Advance booking is highly recommended to avoid disappointment.
Book online here, in person or on 0871 704 2052. |

BURLESQUE UNDRESSED (15)
Thursday 25 February, 8.30
Immodesty Blaize will be appearing in person at The Cameo for a signing following the film.
British burlesque superstar Immodesty Blaize peels back the curtain to reveal her world of high-octane glamour, giving an exclusive peep behind the scenes to expose the work involved in the art of the tease.
From the elaborate and spectacular costume designs to the impressive on-stage gimmicks, Immodesty and her pals showcase the best of burlesque in a dazzling explosion of seductive live performance, including footage from her very own sell-out Tease Show.
This film tells the real story of the genre, charting its rise and fall from its British roots to its American evolution, finally rejoicing in its 21st-century revival. BURLESQUE UNDRESSED also features a special appearance by Marc Almond and a big-band soundtrack of memorably heart-pounding music.

Director: Jacques Audiard Origin: France Year: 2006 Duration: 107m Starring: Romain Duris, Emmanuelle Devos, Niels Arestrup
Writer/director Jacques Audiard (READ MY LIPS) turns in a crafty, contemporary Parisian update of James Toback's FINGERS. Tom (Duris) is set to follow in his father's footsteps in the sleazy and sometimes violent world of real estate. Then a chance encounter leads him to believe that he can become, like his mother, a concert pianist. He starts preparing for an audition with a virtuoso Chinese pianist (Pham). She doesn't speak a word of French, so music is their only language. However, pressures from the ugly world of his day job soon become more than he can handle. Though comparisons with the original are inevitable, Audiard's precise direction in tandem with the simmering, complex performance by Duris mean that THE BEAT THAT MY HEART SKIPPED more than holds its own.
Note: this film is subtitled

Director: Joe Johnston Origin: United Kingdom, United States Year: 2010 Duration: 100m Starring: Benicio Del Toro, Anthony Hopkins, Hugo Weaving, Emily Blunt
Oscar-winning visual effects maestro turned director Joe Johnston (RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK) takes audiences on yet another fantasy thrill ride in this retelling of a horror legend. THE WOLFMAN stars Benicio Del Toro (CHE) as an ill-fated travelling nobleman named Lawrence Talbot, who upon returning to his ancestral homeland following the disappearance of his brother, discovers that something monstrous is threatening the townspeople. Attacked by a rampaging werewolf, Talbot is bitten and is subsequently left bearing the beast's mark in the form of a curse. Set in Victorian England, this haunting remake of the 1941 B-movie classic boasts not only a stellar cast, but truly spectacular special effects courtesy of acclaimed makeup artist Rick Baker (X-MEN: THE LAST STAND).

Director: Jason Reitman Origin: United States Year: 2009 Duration: 109m Starring: George Clooney, Vera Farmiga, Anna Kendrick
In Reitman's (JUNO, THANK YOU FOR SMOKING) return to corporate America, Clooney is at his smooth, sardonic best as management consultant Ryan Bingham. His work takes him around the country, helping him pursue his private goal of accumulating ten million air miles and entering an elite club. Faced with the threat of video conferencing being introduced at his firm, he talks his way into one last round trip. This time he has an added incentive, having just met Alex (Farmiga), the beautiful and sassy frequent flier of his dreams. With its sharp script and crisp direction, UP IN THE AIR is a pleasurable story of a supremely self-sufficient (or perhaps plain self-centred) lone-wolf having to reassess his priorities. And while Bingham is the film's driving force, Reitman gives his female characters a welcome depth and complexity too. (LFF)

Director: Lone Scherfig Origin: United Kingdom Year: 2009 Duration: 100m Starring: Peter Sarsgard, Emma Thompson, Alfred Molina, Carey Mulligan
Sixteen-year-old Jenny (Mulligan) entertains fantasies of a Francophile future while conscientiously pursuing the education that her father Jack (Molina) hopes will get her into Oxford. But the typical '60s family dynamic is rent asunder with the arrival of charismatic thirty-something David (Sarsgaard), who introduces her to an exciting new world of classical music, art and nightclubs. In the hands of Danish director Lone Scherfig (WILBUR WANTS TO KILL HIMSELF, ITALIAN FOR BEGINNERS) and writer Nick Hornby (HIGH FIDELITY, ABOUT A BOY), AN EDUCATION is a charming, funny yet provocative coming-of-age movie reflecting a staid post-war Britain that was on the uncertain brink of a cultural revolution.
*Contains moderate sex references.

Director: Michael Haneke Origin: Austria, France, Germany, Italy Year: 2009 Duration: 144m Starring: Ulrich Tukur, Burghart Klaussner, Christian Friedel
Haneke's (HIDDEN, THE PIANO TEACHER) Palme d'Or winner is a mesmerising work surveying life in a protestant village in northern Germany over several months, ending, tellingly, on the eve of World War I. We visit the homes of the pastor, the baron, the doctor and the steward. As we experience the rituals and intimacies of domestic lives, strange, violent acts occur - the doctor's horse falls over a trip wire, the crops in the field are destroyed, an accident happens at the mill - leading the film to become something of a universal essay on repression and violence. Partly a portrait of a time and place in history and partly a study of how sickness in the home can lead to sickness in society, it's also a mystery that, in usual Haneke fashion, is down to us to unravel. [Dave Calhoun, The Times BFI London Film Festival]
