IT’S a rollover ladies and gentlemen, for we have a cracking pair of films back for another week at Ilkley Cinema. From January 19th-25th, we warmly welcome back The Greatest Showman, with Hugh Jackman singing his way into the hearts of the nation as the born entertainer P.T Barnum. We also invite Paddington in for another weekend of antics and mischief, as he is tracking down criminals and eating marmalade sandwiches of course.

And for another remarkable true story, we bring you Molly’s Game. In the dead of night, Molly Bloom was arrested by 17 heavily armed FBI officers, but what for? For running the world’s most exclusive high-stakes poker game ever seen in the history of America.

Starting life as a young Olympic-class skier, Bloom’s downward spiral started with a job hosting poker games, until unfairly dismissed by her boss. Taking matters into her own hands, Bloom created her own gambling night, playing host to Hollywood royalty, business titans and sport stars. But now, faced with a hefty jail sentence, Bloom must prove that there is more to her than the tabloids would have you believe.

Ever imagined what it might feel like to stand at the top of a gorgeous mountain, and let the cool, crisp air tingle the back of your throat. Well here at Ilkley Cinema, we have something extremely close to this very feeling. Willem Dafoe narrates the beautifully surreal documentary Mountain, where a painstaking 2000 hours worth of footage have been seamlessly intertwined to bring you this fascinating insight into this mesmerising world. With breath-taking views that are indescribable, it’s impossible not to be amazed by the power, magic and mystery of mountains.

Finally, from one form of beauty to another, we bring you Exhibition on Screen: Cezanne. Dedicated to the portrait work of Paul Cézanne, the exhibition opens in Paris before travelling to London and Washington. One cannot appreciate 20th century art without understanding the significance and genius of Paul Cézanne, but we shed light on an artist who is perhaps the least known of all the impressionists.
