This 115-minute drama starts with a five minute prayer, recited almost entirely in Latin. The camera focuses on Maria (Isabelle Huppert), a nun fervently glancing at the others in the congregation. Sister Edwina (Florence Pugh) is the young novice engaged in verse; her commitment to God is a tenet of her faith. This nunnery is set in Madrid during the 1930s, and a selection have decided to partake on the Camino de Santiago.

On December 5 th Rob Rinder will be chairing a discussion about whether Jews are still welcome in the arts in Britain today. There are two striking things about this event. First, that it is taking place at all. As we shall see, it is happening because it is unfortunately very timely and relevant. Second, that the advertisement doesn’t give a location. It just says, “North West London venue.” Presumably, if you sign up you will be e-mailed a location.

An unrecognisable Penelope Cruz and a gun-toting, animalistic Brian Cox star in what's probably Ken Loach's most unabashedly romantic film (a Liverpool-set drama about a socialist builder and his Palestinian lover) - in cinemas on Friday, April 5th In 1991, Nuneaton-born director Ken Loach released Riff-Raff, an urgently directed film that peered at building sites with as much raw honesty as he could muster, and now he returns to the mechanical landscape with Urban Jungle, a film where he...

Voici un livre qui devrait vous mettre très en colère : c’est une histoire de journaliste emprisonné et soumis à un traitement d’une intolérable cruauté pour avoir dénoncé des crimes de guerre, de politiciens britanniques et américains déterminés à l’anéantir, et de médias complices pour passer cette monstrueuse injustice sous silence. Aujourd’hui, Julian Assange est célèbre.

Interview by Karl Hansen After several previous abortive attempts at ‘retirement’, Ken Loach announced earlier this year that he would be retiring from cinema. The 87-year-old’s latest release, The Old Oak — said to be his last — brings to a close a career spanning seven decades and dozens of films, documentaries, and television dramas. In 1966, Loach’s breakthrough came with the release of Cathy Come Home, a TV drama depicting a young couple’s descent into poverty and homelessness.

The Old Oak is sometimes described as the third of a trilogy after I, Daniel Blake and Sorry We Missed You. Is it that they are all set in the northeast of England? And if so, why did you choose this region? Firstly, the films have been made through a strong partnership between Paul Laverty [screenwriter], Rebecca O’Brien [producer] and myself. It’s very important to say that it’s really not about me as an individual. It was never intended as a trilogy.
