  1. Marie Antoinette

    Comments Off on Marie Antoinette

    Marie Antoinette was barely 14 years old when she left Austria to marry the Dauphin of France. Growing from a stubborn young princess navigating the rules of the French court under pressure to continue the Bourbon line, to a true fashion icon, she impressed with her natural charisma, and recreated life in Versailles in her image: free, independent and feminist ahead of time. Even with rumours underminding her reputation, the notorious figure would defeat the enemies of the Versailles court with courage and dignity.

    Created and written by Deborah Davis (The Favourite), Marie Antoinette tells the story of the incredibly modern and avant-garde young queen, played by Emilia Schüle (Ku’damm 56/ 63).

    Joining Deborah Davis in writing the epic saga is Louise Ironside (The Split), Avril E. Russell (All on a Summer’s Day) and Chloë Moss (Run Sister Run). The series is directed by Pete Travis (Bloodlands) and Geoffrey Enthoven (Children of Love).

Returning soldiers, newly-minted revolutionaries and criminal gangs all fight for survival in an industrial landscape gripped by economic upheaval. Thomas Shelby and his family run the most feared and powerful local gang,

Season three sees the Shelby’s adventures move to new shores and in Season four Tommy receives a mysterious letter on Christmas Eve and realises that the Peaky Blinders are in danger of annihilation. As the enemy closes in, Tommy flees his country house and returns to the streets of Small Heath, Birmingham where a desperate fight for survival begins. In Season five the world has been thrown into turmoil by the Wall Street Crash of 1929. Opportunity and misfortune are everywhere. Tommy Shelby MP is approached by a charismatic politician with a bold vision for Britain. He soon realises that his response will affect not just his own family’s future but that of the nation.

    The award-winning series starring Kenneth Branagh returns for three final thrilling stories, filmed in South Africa, Sweden and Denmark.

    Based on the novels by Henning Mankell, these stories follow Kurt Wallander, a flawed but brilliant detective – a man who takes each murder case he works on personally and will stop at nothing in his search for the truth.

    In The White Lioness Wallander is drawn into the case of a missing Swedish national while attending a police conference in South Africa. It is the start of a physical and emotional journey that leads him from the aching beauty and open spaces of rural Africa to the intense poverty and deprivation of its urban townships.

    The second film sees Wallander back in Sweden where a middle-aged woman is discovered half buried in the forest swamps. When it transpires the victim’s daughter has also gone missing, Wallander must catch the culprit before he has another dead body on his conscience. But as tensions escalate, Wallander begins to sense he is being followed, but by demons that he cannot yet identify.

    And in The Troubled Man Wallander is in a race against time as he embarks on his final case – the disappearance of his daughter’s father-in-law. Becoming entangled in cold war politics and fractured familial relationships, Wallander must prevail against the odds if he is to safeguard his daughter’s future before it’s too late.
