WelcomeA year ago we screened Frankenstein, our first National Theatre Live performance. For the first time, our customers were able to enjoy the magic of London theatre beamed live-via-satellite into our cinema screens in Leicester. The response to these performances over the last year has been so encouraging that we’re launching Stage on Screen, a season of 13 magnificent screenings over the summer months.

Join us for some of the world’s greatest shows including Shakespeare from the Globe, opera from Glyndebourne, further NT Live performances and Pompeii Live, the first cinema event from the British Museum!

This month – regrettably - we’re also announcing an increase to our film ticket prices. Our new ticket prices are still cheaper than the city’s commercial cinemas, and we’re confident Phoenix continue to provide not just great value, but something unique in the city.

The new prices will help us cover the rising costs of doing business, and ensure Phoenix continues to thrive in the face of reduced public spending on arts and culture nationwide. And whilst our standard prices are rising, we’ve also started to introduce some lower-priced offers for children and young people, retirees and - with our new Access Screenings – disabled people.

As a charity, any money Phoenix makes is reinvested into our film, art and educational programmes. We hope you’ll continue to support us and help us develop further.

Fri 7 - Thu 13 Jun

Dir: Régis RoinsardCast: Romain Duris, Bérénice BejoFrance 2012, 1hr 51mins, subtitled

This sweet and immaculately-styled film from France is a delight. Déborah François plays hopeless insurance secretary Rose. Unable to complete the simplest tasks – her saving grace is an uncanny ability to type very quickly. Recognising her talent, her suave boss Louis takes her on the road to typing competitions and as her fame escalates Louis begins to fall for her. Reminiscent of Hollywood screwball comedies, this is an unexpected mid-summer treat.

Dir: Joss WhedonCast: Alexis Denisof, Nathan FillionUSA 2012, 1hr 48mins

This gorgeous, bluesy, black and white adaptation of one of the Bard’s most beloved comedies comes from Joss Whedon, marking a big change of pace after his blockbuster success last year with The Avengers. One thing that’s been a constant through Whedon’s work is an understanding of character and a canny ear for dialogue – in Shakespeare he has found his perfect screenwriting partner. This tale of bickering couples and comic misunderstandings is a joy from start to finish.

When beautiful artist Florence Carter-Wood (Emily Browning) arrives on the estate, the two men find their friendship tested as a love triangle develops with tragic consequences.

Beware ofMr Baker 15Fri 14 - Thu 20 Jun

Dir: Jay BulgerDocumentaryUSA 2012, 1hr 33mins

“Ginger Baker just hit me in the f**king nose” – so says a dazed Jay Bulger, director of this hugely entertaining documentary about the legendary English drummer. From Ginger’s fascination with British jazz, his time as part of rock super-groups Cream and Blind Faith, to his polo playing and self-imposed exile in a South African

fortified compound; honestly, you couldn’t make it up! Ginger makes for a very cantankerous but fascinating subject, and the music is sublime.

The Iceman 15Fri 28 Jun - Thu 4 Jul

Dir: Ariel VromenCast: Michael Shannon, Ray LiottaUSA 2012, 1hr 46mins

Michael Shannon (Take Shelter, Revolutionary Road) delivers another intense performance in this thriller based on the life of the notorious mafia hitman Richard Kuklinski. Recruited after the mob shuts down his video-dubbing business, Kuklinski proves to be a ruthlessly efficient assassin, but struggles to hide this other life from his wife and two daughters.

The two youngsters dancing to David Bowie’s Ragazzo Solo, Ragazza Sola is particularly moving.

Bernie 12A

Mon 24 - Thu 27 Jun

Dir: Richard LinklaterCast: Jack Black, Shirley MacLaineUSA 2011, 1hr 39mins

Often cast as the oaf in underwhelming popcorn fare, Jack Black is a revelation in Richard Linklater’s new black comedy - delivering a stunning performance as the eponymous Bernie. Based on a real-life case from 1997, Bernie is a beloved funeral director who befriends crabby local widower Marjorie (MacLaine). But when Marjorie goes missing the townspeople refuse to believe sweet-natured Bernie could have anything to do with it, with only the local DA (Matthew McConaughey) suspecting foul play.

Tautou plays frustrated housewife Thérèse, trapped in an unhappy marriage to her kind-hearted but dull husband Bernard. When her husband begins taking diluted arsenic under the advice of his doctor, Thérèse sees an opportunity to escape to a life of adventure and romance.
