ANTICHRIST (18) 11.15

(Denmark/Germany/France/Sweden/Italy/Poland 2009) dir. Lars Von Trier 105m. Digital.
Willem Dafoe, Charlotte Gainsbourg.

Grieving from the death of their child, a young couple retreat to their country cabin nestled deep in the woods to confront fears and sorrows head-on, no matter how painful. But nature only creates a catastrophic evil that ends in brutal horror. Charlotte Gainsbourg took the best actress prize at Cannes, but this is absolutely von Trier's show. Teeming with ideas, moments both scary and shocking and featuring a satanically prophetic talking fox this is Cinema at the outer limits.

BRUNO (18) 11.30

(US 2009) dir. Larry Charles 81m.
Sacha Baron Cohen, Gustaf Hannarsten.

When flamboyant gay Austrian fashionista Brüno takes his show to America everyone is in for a surprise as Sacha Baron Cohen's colourful creation pushes people and boundaries to the very edge. It's another all-out assault on decency and decorum that is every bit as offensive, shocking and funny as you'd hoped it would be.

THE HANGOVER (15) 11.30

(US/Germany 2009) dir. Todd Phillips 100m.  
Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, Justin Bartha, Heather Graham.

Everybody's nightmare morning-after-the-night-before.

Can they manage to retrace their steps and find him? A laugh-out-loud road movie and a modern comedy classic. Just for once, stay for the end credits: it's the funniest and the most outrageous finale in years.
