Seniors’ free matinee: The Night of the Hunter

François Truffaut was wowed by what he described as ‘an immensely inventive and truly experimental film, one that aimed to re-create the visual and cinematic splendour of the silent era’. The Night of the Hunter is a parable about innocence and the corrupting force of money, a nightmarish fairy tale in which two young children are tormented by a psychopathic preacher. Despite a poor critical reception upon its release, the film is now considered a masterpiece of cinema.

Free for over-60s (booking by phone or in person only), otherwise normal matinee price.
