240 films. 72 countries. 16 cinemas. 12 days. One festival: The BFI London Film Festival. Now in its 59th year, it is the jewel in the BFI's crown. Both the BFI and the BFI London Film Festival are what they say they are: British institutes. Here's your chance to get involved. For this screening, catch Juliette Binoche in a star turn as Anna, a grief-stricken mother, who – still reeling from the sudden death of a loved one – invites her son's estranged fiancée to her house, without informing her of the news. This is a film that is handled with balance and delicate care, with impressive performances all round, an intelligent script and nuanced direction from newcomer Piero Messina. Over 15s only. Runtime: 100 minutes.
