Amour

Michael Haneke's extraordinary Palme d'Or winner comes to London, offering general audiences the chance to see the film Cannes journalists fell over each other to praise.

The story of an elderly couple's struggle to cope when one of them suffers a stroke, Amour is a stunning exploration of the nature of love, and what it means to be human as we approach the end of our lives.

Almost impossibly powerful, Amour is cinema at its very best. If you only buy one ticket this year, make it this.

      Agreed. Particularly looking forward to Argo, saw the Town and thought it was a cracking movie. Might have to check out Gone baby gone before hand.

      @ChrisWootton definitely do! It's better than The Town I'd say (and the town is pretty damn good).

      So excited for Sightseers! It's unlikely that i'll be able to see it in the cinema, so i anxiously await the DVD release. I thought Down Terrace was great, and that Kill List was one of the best films i've seen. Need to own Sightseers soon!!!
