Film Preview: March 2019

Coming to a cinema near you this March…

Released tomorrow on the first of the month, ‘The Aftermath’ features Keira Knightley (Pride and Prejudice), Alexander Skarsgård (Big Little Lies television series) and Jason Clarke (Zero Dark Thirty). Based on the Rhidian Brook novel of the same name, the film is set in Hamburg, Germany in the aftermath of the Second World War where, during that bitter winter, a love triangle is ignited. 

One
week later, an entirely different film will hit the screen. After the DC
Extended Universe delivered ‘Wonder Woman’ in 2017, witness the arrival of
‘Captain Marvel’ into the all-conquering Marvel Cinematic Universe. Brie Larson
(Room) is the former U.S. Air Force pilot Carol Danvers who becomes the
superhero Captain Marvel while Samuel L. Jackson makes his ninth appearance as
Nick Fury.

Directed
by Peter Hedges, ‘Ben Is Back’ opens on 15 March and features his son, Lucas
Hedges (Lady Bird) as the eponymous character with Julia Roberts (Pretty Woman)
as his mother. Similarly to ‘Beautiful Boy’, we follow a parent as they try to
help their child overcome their substance addictions

Winner
of the Volpi Cup Award for Best Actor at the Venice International Film Festival
last year and nominated for an Oscar and Golden Globe in the same category,
Willem Dafoe portrays the Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh in ‘At Eternity’s
Gate’. Opening on 29 March, the film is set in the south of France during van
Gogh’s final years.
