Nationwide
Bright Star. PG
Jane Campion’s film is a wistful and melancholic account of the unconsummated romance between the poet John Keats and his neighbour Fanny Brawne. Ben Whishaw and Abbie Cornish star.
Nationwide

Nationwide
Citizen Kane, U
Orson Welles's masterpiece looks even better in this cleaned-up digital print, which shows off the wonderful clarity and detail of Gregg Toland's 'deep focus' camerawork, bolstering the complexities of the story with new layers of feeling.
Limited release
