John Lennon & Ian Drury at Thame Cinema – June 5, 2010

AT Thame Cinema 4 All, Nelson Street, Thame – this Saturday, June 5, 2010 – Nowhere Boy and Sex and Drugs & Rock ‘n’ Roll – Both 15 cert.

Nowhere Boy, the debut feature of Sam Taylor-Wood, tells the never seen before story of John Lennons childhood. Young John (Alex Ambrose) is a bright but sharp-tongued boy living in Liverpool during the 1950s with his aunt Mimi (Kristin Scott Thomas) and uncle George (David Threlfall). John’s father walked out on the family when he was four years old, and the boy was given to Mimi to raise, even though his mother, Julia (Anne-Marie Duff), was still alive. Julia’s personality is a much closer fit to John than Mimi, and she encourages his love for writing and music, teaching him to play the banjo. However, John’s renewed relationship with Julia brings up a number of unanswered questions, and causes new tensions between Mimi and John. It’s an affecting movie about coming of age and leaving home, and about the radical changes in British life since the Second World War.

Sex and Drugs & Rock ‘n’ Roll features a barnstorming, passionate performance from Andy Serkis bringing 1970s
