Both Sides of the Blade
We were delighted to previously screen this film but we have no current plans to screen it again. If you'd like to watch it in the cinema, consider a private hire to watch it with friends. That does rely on the film being available for private purchase.

| Showings |
A love triangle story about a woman caught between two men, her long-time partner and his best friend, her former lover.
Claire Denis and Juliette Binoche, who have now made three films together, are a match made in a gloriously idiosyncratic heaven.
★★★★
The movie’s sophistication comes from its sharp observations of its characters’ weaknesses, even as they deny those flaws in themselves and call them out in everyone around them.
★★★★
