“It’s about society in freefall.”

Thirty years after its release, LA HAINE remains as furious, urgent and impossible to ignore.

In the wake of violent unrest on the outskirts of Paris, three friends drift through a single day shaped by police brutality, alienation and simmering rage. Every encounter pushes them closer to a confrontation that feels both inevitable and avoidable.

Mathieu Kassovitz’s incendiary masterpiece captures a city on edge with breathtaking black-and-white cinematography, unforgettable performances from Vincent Cassel, Hubert Koundé and Saïd Taghmaoui, and a relentless energy that never lets up. Few films have spoken so powerfully about inequality, anger and the cycle of violence—and few still feel this contemporary.

FRIDAY 25 SEPTEMBER • 7.30PM

Doors open at 7pm. Please arrive on time. We don’t show adverts or trailers.

Love is complicated in François Truffaut’s STOLEN KISSES.

Jean-Pierre Léaud returns as Antoine Doinel in one of the most charming and beloved chapters of Truffaut’s celebrated series. Fresh out of the army and drifting between jobs, Antoine stumbles through detective work, romance and adulthood with his usual mix of optimism, awkwardness and irresistible sincerity.

Funny, bittersweet and effortlessly stylish, STOLEN KISSES is a landmark of the French New Wave and one of cinema’s great romantic comedies, filled with warmth, wit and unforgettable moments.

The TARDIS lands back at the Star & Shadow this September as TV on the Big Screen returns with DOCTOR WHO: THE MARK OF THE RANI.

Colin Baker’s Sixth Doctor and Peri arrive in the North East during the Industrial Revolution, where a wave of bizarre behaviour, missing scientists and dark experiments lead them into a deadly confrontation with two of the Doctor’s greatest foes: the Master and the Rani, making her unforgettable debut.

Set around the mining village of Killingworth, THE MARK OF THE RANI is still the only televised Doctor Who story set in the North East of England.

After the screening, stick around for a Doctor Who discussion. Costumes are warmly encouraged, whether you’re arriving as a Time Lord, companion or villain.

The greater good returns to the big screen.

Edgar Wright’s HOT FUZZ comes to the Star & Shadow this July. When London’s finest police officer is reassigned to the seemingly idyllic village of Sandford, he expects a quiet life. Instead, he uncovers a string of grisly “accidents” that point to something far more sinister. Alongside eager movie buff PC Danny Butterman, it’s time to crack the case.

Fast, funny and endlessly quotable, HOT FUZZ is a masterclass in action-comedy, packed with explosive set pieces, impeccable comic timing and one of the greatest ensemble casts in modern British cinema.

Can you dig it?

Walter Hill’s cult classic THE WARRIORS comes to the Star & Shadow Cinema for one night only this September

After being falsely accused of murdering a gang leader, the Warriors must fight their way across a hostile, neon-lit New York, with every gang in the city hunting them down. What follows is one of cinema’s most stylish action thrillers: a propulsive odyssey of street battles, unforgettable characters and iconic one-liners, all set to a pulsing late-’70s soundtrack.
