The Lost King among the New Park films in Chichester

The Lost King is the life-affirming story of a woman who refused to be ignored and who took on the country’s most eminent historians, forcing them to think again about the life and demise of Richard III. Sally Hawkins is the amateur historian, Steve Coogan her tetchy husband in this charming comedy drama directed by Stephen Frears.

Anaïs in Love is a very amusing snapshot of millennial restlessness. Anaïs is 30, broke and has a lover she doesn't think she loves anymore. She meets Daniel, who immediately falls for her, but Daniel lives with Emilie – whom Anaïs also falls for! Sums up everything we love about Le Cinéma Français: idealised but pragmatic, witty but razor-sharp, playful but realistic.

Based on a fictionalised biopic of Marilyn Monroe, Blonde is a sensationally salacious watch, operating occasionally on the edge of horror. Ana de Armas delivers a beautiful and conflicted mess of a performance which is utterly mesmerising. This is simultaneously a hard watch and one that is increasingly difficult to look away from.

For the kids we have Minions The Rise of Gru. The film picks up in 1976 as an 11-year-old Felonious Gru (Steve Carrell) plots his track to supervillain status with the help of his newfound henchmen, the Minions. For every paying adult, one child can see the film for only £2.50.

We have two performance events this week: La Bohème from The Royal Opera House and our Sunday matinee Medea from The Met. Richard Warburton
