Postponed: The Human Voice

This event has been postponed due to our temporary closure.

Dir. Pedro Almodóvar | 2020 Spain | 76 mins (30 min film, 45 min Q&A) | 15

Madness and melancholy intersect to thrilling effect as Almodóvar reimagines Jean Cocteau’s short play The Human Voice for an era in which isolation has become a way of life. Laws of desire become the rules of the game as Tilda Swinton’s unnamed woman paces and panics in a glorious Technicolor apartment where décor offers a window into her state of mind. A short, sharp shot of distilled Almodóvar: passion, emotion, heartbreak, wit, and melodrama exquisitely bound up in a tale for our times. 

This screening will include a pre-recorded Q&A with Pedro Almodóvar and Tilda Swinton hosted by Mark Kermode.

Tickets: £7.75 adult, £6.00 concession
