Sept 4-10: NEW! Juliette Binoche in How to be a Good Wife, Jazz on a Summer's Day, Fight Club and More!

Scroll down to select films and showtimes to get your advance tickets to all of our screenings! Physical distancing of 2 metres in effect throughout the cinemas. Read about our extensive COVID-19 safety measures.

There's something for everyone this week at the Princess, along with the new and wonderfully reviewed 2020 film, How to be a Good Wife. Juliette Binoche stars as a woman who starts to question the suppressed status of females while running a housekeeping school for teenaged girls in 1968 France. "Buoyed by an easy-going sense of humour and excellent performances by the entire cast, How To Be A Good Wife is a wonderful portrayal of the road travelled over the past fifty or so years towards female emancipation, and of the fact that individual freedom is always essential to finding one’s place in the world." - CineEuropa

Opening this Friday at the Twin, we are thrilled to present Jazz on a Summer's Day, one of the most influential concert films ever, in a new 4K restoration. Shot in colour at the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival, this film celebrates all things music through wonderful performances from Louis Armstrong, Thelonious Monk, Gerry Mulligan, Anita O'Day, Chuck Berry and Dinah Washington. For those who have been missing live music this summer, do yourself a favour and transport yourselves: "the sense of well-being is immense" (New York Daily News). Not to be missed!

The Personal History of David Copperfield continues at the Twin, a great film for the whole family this long weekend. "The Personal History of David Copperfield puts a fresh, funny, and utterly charming spin on Dickens' classic, proving some stories truly are timeless."

Future cult-classic Bill & Ted Face the Music continues all weekend long at the Original, perfect for those who grew up watching the series (or cartoon, remember the cartoon?) and new fans alike. Plus, check out the return of the David Fincher's Fight Club on Thursday of next week!

KEEP SCROLLING for more from your favourite independent, KW's only locally-owned cinema!
