The Love Of Cinema

Lucy Fenwick Elliott talks to director Daniel Roher and actor Leo Woodall about their new film, Tuner. Now showing at Picturehouse Cinemas. 

In Tuner, Academy Award-winning director Daniel Roher’s first narrative feature, Leo Woodall stars as a gifted young piano tuner whose heightened sense of hearing draws the attention of criminals, who see his talents as useful for opening safes as for tuning Steinways.  

With his once-promising musical career over, he works across New York with his mentor Harry Horowitz (Academy Award-winner Dustin Hoffman), encountering a range of characters, including composition student Ruthie (Havana Rose Liu), with whom he forges an unexpected connection. Niki’s safecracking work threatens his budding romance with Ruthie and pulls him into increasingly dangerous territory.  

Lending romance, drama, and the taut suspense of a heist thriller, TUNER also features performances from Tony Award-winner Tovah Feldshuh, Jean Reno, and Lior Raz.

Sam Clements talks to legendary actor Ian McKellen about his starring role in Steven Soderbergh's The Christophers, in cinemas now. 

What is the value of art? Does it reside in personal expression? Cultural longevity? Financial worth? These questions fuel Steven Soderbergh’s gloriously entertaining comedy, THE CHRISTOPHERS. Written by Ed Solomon, featuring an all star cast, including Micheala Coel, Jessica Gunning and James Corden - alongside Ian McKellen. 

Julian Sklar (McKellen) was once a star of London’s 1960’s and 70’s pop art explosion, but he hasn’t painted in decades and has been broke for years.  

His two estranged children, desperate for an inheritance, hire Lori, an art restorer and former forger (Coel), to pose as a prospective assistant in order to access unfinished canvases Julian has buried deep in storage.  

A sharp and remarkable tale of creativity, legacy, and avarice.
