Jan 10th 
Empire of Light** (15)
(Century Clacton)
(GB 2022)
Searchlight Pictures/TSG/Neal Street. 113m. ws
In 1980 the emotionally volatile duty manager of a seaside cinema has a brief love affair with a young black student working there; when he decides to break off the affair, it triggers her back into a mental breakdown.
Back-to-back Sam Mendes films, his semi-nostalgic lookback to the 1980s, meticulously evoked (making thorough use of little-changed Margate) and strongly performed as usual, but the drama is somehow superficial and not going completely into depth about either main character.
Written and Directed by: Sam Mendes.
Producers: Pippa Harris, Sam Mendes.
Starring: Olivia Colman, Micheal Ward, Colin Firth, Toby Jones, Tom Brook, Tanya Moodie.
Photography: Roger Deakins.
Music: Trent Reznar, Atticus Ross.
Production Design: Mark Tildesley.
