SOMETIMES ALWAYS NEVER

2018 | UK | Comedy-Drama | Directed by Carl Hunter. Starring Bill Nighy, Sam Riley, Alice Lowe, Jenny Agutter, Tim McInnerny. 91 min. Rated 12A.

This is an offbeat, quirky, deadpan and stylised comedy-drama comparable to the films of Wes Anderson (Moonlight Kingdom, The Grand Budapest Hotel, The Royal Tenenbaums et al).

Alan (Bill Nighy) has two passions: making suits and playing Scrabble. He has two sons, but Michael went missing 10 years ago, storming out after a particularly acrimonious Scrabble session. Alan and his other son, Peter (Sam Riley), are on a quest to find Michael, and suspect a mysterious online Scrabble master holds the key to Michael’s fate. But it’s Alan’s relationship with Peter that he must repair, so that the family can finally move on.

Carl Hunter’s debut film, based on Frank Cottrell Boyce’s powerfully tragicomic script, boasts a wonderful supporting cast and explores family rifts alongside sharp wordplay and even sharper gentlemen’s attire.

“The film positively twinkles with insouciance, and is performed with aplomb, particularly by Bill Nighy, who brings a droll sprightliness and deadpan wit to the lead part, but shows how these mannerisms mask emotional pain.” – Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian ★★★★

“This delightfully offbeat British movie . . . has a surprisingly light touch and manages to be emotionally moving without being overwrought.” – Wenlei Ma, news.com.au ★★★★

As usual, we'll take a break in August and look forward to seeing you in September with a fresh programme of some of the most interesting films released in UK cinemas over the past year.

IF BEALE STREET COULD TALK

2018 | US | Drama-Romance | Directed by Barry Jenkins. Starring Kiki Layne, Stephan James, Regina King, Teyonah Parris, Colman Domingo. 119 min. Rated 15.

Based on the novel by James Baldwin, this adaptation is a timeless and moving love story of both a couple’s unbreakable bond and the African-American family’s empowering embrace, as told through the eyes of 19-year-old Tish Rivers (screen newcomer KiKi Layne).

In 1970s Harlem, teen sweethearts Tish and Fonny (Stephan James) dream of a future together, but are torn apart when Fonny is wrongly arrested for the rape of a Puerto Rican woman through the machinations of a racist cop. Tish’s mother Sharon (Regina King, winner of the Best Supporting Actress Oscar) embarks on her own crusade to seek justice for Fonny, while Tish, who is pregnant, turns to her family and community for support.

Through the unique intimacy and power of cinema, If Beale Street Could Talk honours Baldwin’s prescient words and imagery, charting the emotional currents navigated in an unforgiving and racially biased world as the filmmaker poetically crosses time frames to show how love and humanity endure.

NOTE: Our screening of If Beale Street Could Talk is partially funded by the BFI Cinematheque scheme, which encourages audiences to explore more diverse and independent films.

“Magical filmmaking which looks for, and finds, beauty in the most unlikely places.” – Geoffrey Macnab, The Independent ★★★★★

“If proof were needed that Barry Jenkins’s directing achievement [for Moonlight] was far from a one-off, it pulses and dances through every sequence of his follow-up . . . in all its gorgeous romantic melancholy and sublimated outrage.” – Tim Robey, The Telegraph ★★★★★

“A powerful condemnation of endemic and structural racism, a sweet love story and, at a technical level, a beautifully produced film.” – Eye for Film

A reminder that first judging takes place on 4th July and yet again, last year, the judges commented on the community spirit they experienced whilst visiting our town. We would, therefore, again like to encourage all Hayle residents to ‘beautify’ their gardens, and pubs to get their ‘flower’ dressings on.

We would also encourage you to enter the Hayle Cup competitions (Best Residential Garden and Best Dressed Pub) to be judged in week beginning 29th July.

Entry forms are available from the 1st June at the following outlets :
Post Offices in Copperhouse and Foundry; Central Garage; Texaco Garage; Passmore Edwards Institute; Day Care Centre.

Hayle Celebration Day this year will take place on Sunday 21st July from 11m to 4 pm in the Recreation Ground. There should be something of interest for everyone, with plenty of stalls with many fantastic local craft items for sale as well as your chance to test your luck on our raffle, tombolas, and games of skill.

You can talk to the vintage, veteran and classic car exhibitors and find out more about their lovely vehicles.
Come along and listen to music provided by local entertainers and choirs throughout the day. There will be plenty of tasty bites available –BBQ, teas, cakes, ice cream, etc. You can then wash it all down with a drink from the beer wagon whilst the kids can go along to have fun on the bouncy castle, the free fun stall, get their face painted, etc.

Even the family dog can get involved at the K9 fun dog show –there are classes for every type of dog. Even if you haven’t a dog of your own, it should be fun to watch.

Money raised this year will be going toward many local charities who are putting on stalls at the event as well as the Rotary Club of Hayle and Hayle Christmas lights who are organising the event.

Hayle Rotary Club exists to serve the community at home and overseas. Over the year money raised has helped to undertake worthwhile projects that benefit others particularly in the local community. In recent months £1000 has been awarded to St Julia’s Hospice, £1000 to the defibrillator in Angarrack, and smaller amounts to other local organisations.

Hayle Christmas Lights has been providing lights around the town for about 25years. Fundraising is done throughout the year with events and donations from individuals and businesses in the locality. We hope to improve the lights again this year with the help of funds raised at this and other events.
We would like to thank all the local businesses, Hayle Town Council and its councillors and our local Cornwall County Councillors who are supporting us this year. Thanks also to all our entertainers, exhibitors, stalls and helpers who will help to make the day a success.

The town of Hayle has a lot to offer to both locals and visitors who can be assured of a warm and friendly welcome at this and many other events going on in our town throughout the year.
