With Mads Mikkelsen, Mikkel Boe Flsgaard, alicia vikander, David Dencik. Loosely based on real events, this lavish costume drama set in the 18th century court of King Christian VII of Denmark (Flsgaard) centres on the illicit relationship between his Queen Caroline Mathilde (Vikander) and his physician Struensee (Mikkelsen). Flsgaard won the Silver Bear for Best Actor at the Berlin Film Festival for his portrayal of the increasingly erratic King who comes into conflict with the modernising, idealistic Struensee, unaware that the doctor is secretly cuckolding him. What follows is one of the most dramatic stories in European history, as the lovers become revolutionary partners-in-crime in the struggle between the Enlightenment and tradition.

1hr 25 approx. UK/Sweden 2012. Directed by Malik Bendjelloul. This documentary follows two South African friends as they attempt to track down Detroit singer-songwriter Sixto Diaz Rodriguez and see if rumours of his untimely death are true. Although his music languished in obscurity in America, meaning that he left the music business in the early 1970s, Rodriguez became a cult figure in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa (where his album At His Best went platinum, and where he was revered as an anti-establishment icon by the anti-apartheid movement). Rodriguezs Dylan-esque music provides a stirring soundtrack to a moving tale of talent eventually receiving its wellearned reward.
