From the Vaults
Sat 29 Jun, 4pm - The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938)
Every month we present ‘From the Vaults’ a monthly screening of a forgotten masterpiece, a new digital restoration, or simply a fantastic film we think everyone should see on the big screen.
Upcoming From the Vaults screenings:
THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD (1938) / 35mm / U
Showing: Sat 29 Jun, 4pm - BOOK TICKETS
Dir: Michael Curtiz, William Keighley
Cast: Errol Flynn, Olivia de Havilland, Basil Rathbone
USA 1938, 1hr 42mins
WATCH THE TRAILER
With 2013 marking the 90th anniversary of Warner Brothers Pictures, we’re delighted to screen the swashbuckling 1938 version of the Robin Hood legend - the first Warner production to use the three-strip Technicolor process.
Errol Flynn plays the dashing hero, leading a rebel army against Prince John in the forests of Nottinghamshire (bathed in some distinctly Californian sunshine!). A terrific sense of adventure surrounds the film; this is good old-fashioned entertainment from a golden age of Hollywood.
AGUIRRE, WRATH OF GOD (1972) / PG
Showing: Sat 13 & Sun 14 July - TICKETS ON SALE SOON
Dir: Werner Herzog
Cast: Klaus Kinski
West Germany 1972, 1hr 31mins
WATCH THE TRAILER
A sparkling digital restoration from the BFI. In 16th century South America a band of conquistadors journey down the Amazon in search of El Dorado - the legendary City of Gold. Tormented by Indian tribes and exhaustion, the men gradually succumb to the maniacal will of Don Lupe de Aguirre (Kinski) who leads a mutiny and declares himself ‘the wrath of god’. Shot entirely on location in Peru it’s profound, savage and beautiful, with Kinski delivering one of cinema’s greatest performances.
