London: vast, diverse, and always ready to surprise you, no matter your thing. In Walloh's case, it's cinema, which means we've searched the capital for the most interesting and unique film screenings taking place this week. From exclusive Q&As with some of the world's most exciting filmmakers to an epic triple bill in time for Bank Holiday, there's bound to be something here for everyone…
Blade Runner + Blade Runner 2049 Double Bill
When? 18:10, Thursday 22nd August How much? From £12.50 Where? Leicester Square
What is it?
Ridley Scott's sci-fi classic Blade Runner, followed by Denis Villeneuve's belated sequel, Blade Runner 2049. Two masterpieces, screened back-to-back. Replicant or human – what a time to be alive!
Sounds interesting! What else?
Enjoy this double dosage of Harrison Ford at the iconic Prince Charles Cinema in Leicester Square. If you can't make the Thursday screening, plan way ahead: there's another on Monday 4th of November at 18:10. Click here for tickets and more info.
The Matrix Trilogy
When? 23:30, Sunday 26th August How much? From £15.50 Where? Leicester Square
What is it?
All three Matrix movies, screened back-to-back, at the Prince Charles Cinema. So you get the original classic, the underrated second one, and the disastrous third instalment, all on one ticket. How's that for variety?
Sounds interesting! What else?
We know what you're thinking: “Sunday at 23:10? How will I cope on Monday after 425 minutes of The Matrix?” Quite simply, you won't have to: it's a Bank Holiday. Click here for tickets and more info.
The Souvenir + Q&A with Director & Cast
When? 18:15, Tuesday 27th August How much? From £15.95 Where? Mayfair
What is it?
Joanna Hogg's new film, The Souvenir, is a quiet, near-masterpiece. Based on her own time as a film student, it's a immensely powerful but sad romantic drama that lingers with you (our full review here).
Sounds interesting! What else?
Hogg will attend this screening for a Q&A, alongside lead actors Honor Swinton Byrne and Tom Burke. A chance to see the film a few days before its general release, then, and to prod Hogg into telling you what parts really happened. Click here for tickets and more info.
Kill Bill, Vol 1. on a Roof in Stratford
When? 21:00, Tuesday 27th August How much? From £15.95 Where? Stratford
What is it?
Quentin Tarantino's kick-ass action classic, Kill Bill, screened on the 7th floor of a carpark in Stratford. It's way cooler than it sounds, trust us… and just in time for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood's release.
Sounds interesting! What else?
You'll be given a pair of wireless headphones, so you can forget about any pesky interruptions. Snacks and drinks will be available throughout the night. Tuesday never looked better. Click here for tickets and more info.
