Diplomacy

Riveting sounding WWII drama from Volker Schlondorff, one of the leading lights of the ‘New Wave’ German cinema of the 1970’s. After Hitler has given orders that Paris be destroyed rather than fall into enemy hands, General Dietrich von Choltitz plants mines on the Eiffel Tower, in the Louvre, Notre Dame and on the bridges over the Seine. But Swedish Consul General Raoul Nordling steals into German headquarters through a secret underground tunnel and there starts a tension-filled game of cat and mouse as Nordling tries to persuade Choltitz to abandon his plan.

Noomi Rapace and the late James Gandolfini co-star. The official website is here; it will be showing across a wide selection of UK cinemas.

The Imitation Game

Lots of publicity about this film over the past few weeks, some of which hinges on this biography of gay code breaker Alan Turing apparently ignoring aspects of his personal life.
