FILMS SHOWING Friday May 27 to Thursday June 2

If you are coming to the Princess by car, there are two new, temporary lots [Temp A, Temp B] at the corner of Bridgeport and Regina providing plenty of parking. The lots you're used to parking at -- the Station, Regina & Library lots -- remain accessible. Yes, the intersection at Erb & Caroline has closed for the next few months but, King & William has re-opened! According to the attached map, the areas in yellow are under construction (but note the coloured arrows, as some sections of King are partially open). As usual, give yourself a few extra minutes to relax and perhaps visit some Uptown businesses. They'd love to see you... and we would, too!

Dheepan

14A

Winner of the 2015 Cannes Palme d'Or. " Directed by Jacques Audiard (A Prophet; Rust and Bone) the drama comes at a timely moment, showing the struggle of refugees entering a less-than-welcoming country." - Times

“French director Jacques Audiard's latest film stars previously unknown leads from Sri Lanka and India, and is almost entirely in the Tamil language. Its boldness and its political will to shake up the introversion of the French film world were no doubt factors in its winning last year’s Palme d’Or in Cannes.

David Francey

May 28, 8pm. David will be accompanied by Mark Westberg and Jamie McKie in support of his brand new record, Empty Train. Online tickets on sale now!

David Francey is a Scottish-born carpenter-turned-songwriter, who has become known as “one of Canada’s most revered folk poets and singers” (Toronto Star). Born in Ayrshire, Scotland to parents who were factory workers, he moved to Canada when he was twelve. For decades, he worked in rail yards, construction sites, and the Yukon bush, all the while writing poetry, setting it to melodies in his head and singing it to himself as he worked.

Sing Street

14A

"A sweet rock ‘n roll, coming-of-age, 80s nostalgia, teen-romance fairytale that will have you tapping your toes, dabbing your eyes and calling for an encore. Go ahead, stand up and cheer. You won’t have a better time at the movies this year." - Indiewire

"Music and joy. We could all use more of that, and 'Sing Street' has it in abundance. The film from 'Once' writer/director John Carney celebrates eighties music, loners, teen romance, big brothers and pretty much everything in between. Oh, and you will want the soundtrack.

The Meddler

"It's a fun and funny movie that delivers an honest portrayal of a mother-daughter relationship and the heartache that comes not just from losing someone but from moving on after they're gone." - L.A. Weekly

"Susan Sarandon is a star shining on her highest beams. Only a fool would want to miss those fireworks. So check out 'The Meddler,' in which Sarandon dives into her juiciest role in years as Marnie Minervini, a New Jersey widow who travels to Los Angeles to be near her screenwriter daughter Lori (the ever-amazing Rose Byrne). Why?

Hello, My Name is Doris

14A

"'Hello, My Name Is Doris' ... uses this funny, outwardly ridiculous character to tell a simple story about a love that rarely speaks its name, including in movies: that of an older woman for a much younger man." - New York Times

"Doris (Sally Field) is the kind of office worker who’s taken for granted. About the only thing her co-workers know about her is her name, and they probably wouldn’t even care to speculate about her life in the world beyond the elevators.

High-Rise

18A

"JG Ballard's 1975 novel High Rise finally makes it to the screen and the prescient brilliance of Ballard's vision is undimmed after 40 years and is ably served by director Ben Wheatley." - HeyUGuys

“Neurologist Dr. Laing (Tom Hiddleston) moves into a pristine tower block in the shiny 1970s, only to see the new society crumble into age-old violence. While J.G. Ballard’s source for this film 40 years old, it still feels alarmingly now. The future he imagined in the 1970s, with its affluenza and anger, couldn’t feel more relevant today.
