Royal Ballet: Swan Lake

Running time: 210 mins

Out hunting, Prince Siegfried chances upon a flock of swans. One among them transforms into the beautiful human Odette and he is immediately enamoured. But Odette is bound by a spell which keeps her captive as a swan during the day. Can Siegfried free her?

Tchaikovsky’s sensational score combines with the evocative imagination of choreographer Liam Scarlett and designer John Macfarlane to heighten the dramatic pathos of Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov’s quintessential ballet classic. Swan Lake remains to this day one of the best-loved works in the classical ballet canon.

Running time 210 minutes (including two intervals)

The Trouble With Jessica

Running time: 89 mins

Sarah (Shirley Henderson) and Tom (Alan Tudyk), a successful London professional couple, panic after their friend Jessica kills herself in their garden just as they are on the brink of selling the house for some urgently-needed cash. Thinking the buyer will pull out of the sale if they find out, they persuade their best friends, Richard (Rufus Sewell) and Beth (Olivia Williams), to help them relocate Jessica’s body. This is a deliciously black British comedy.

Dirt In The Gate Movies Presents - STARSHIP TROOPERS (1997) - [35mm]

Running time: 129 mins

Directed by Paul Verhoeven Starring Casper Van Dien Denise Richards Dina Meyer

1997| 129m| USA | (18) | 1.85:1 | Dolby Stereo SR |

Following on from the success of ROBOCOP 10 years previously, visionary Director Paul Verhoeven and featuring animation from the mastermind Phil Tippett, this once overlooked sci-fi has amassed a cult following in recent years.

In the distant future, the Earth is at war with a race of giant alien insects. Little is known about the bugs except that they are intent on the eradication of all human life. But there was a time before the war. A mobile infantry travels to distant alien planets to wage war to the bugs. They are a ruthless enemy with only one mission: survival of their species no matter what the cost.

"Delivers so completely on the action front, with incredible bug effects that still put many of today's blockbusters to shame." - The Guardian

"The sci-fi film’s self-aware satire went unrecognised by critics when it came out years ago. Now, some are finally getting the joke...it rightfully has come to be appreciated by some as an unsung masterpiece." - The Atlantic

Dirt In The Gate Movies are thrilled to screen STARSHIP TROOPERS from an original 1997 35mm print!
