No. 6 is Portsmouth’s only independent cinema, situated in Boathouse No. 6, which was built long ago in 1846. Not only is No. 6 Cinema our city’s only independent filmhouse — it’s also home to the largest screen on the south coast. They’re known in the city for showing an eclectic blend of current blockbusters and renowned classics as well as foreign films. And the programme for March is no different. Scroll on down to see what you can expect from Portsmouth’s beloved unfunded filmhouse this coming month:

The Monuments Men—Saturday 12h April—7pm

George Clooney’s latest directorial outing is underpinned by the true story of the mere handful of art experts who were charged with retrieving some of Europe’s cultural gems before the Nazis got their hands on them.

A script co-written by Grant Heslov (THE IDES OF MARCH, GOOD NIGHT, AND GOOD LUCK) guarantees frisky chemistry among the mismatched characters, played by Bill Murray, John Goodman, regular Clooney foil Matt Damon, and Cate Blanchett as an enigmatic French Resistance worker who knows where the treasures are buried.

As the awkwardly inducted recruits hurry to achieve their objective under the noses of the advancing enemy, THE MONUMENTS MEN is agreeably tense, and Clooney demonstrates his consummate versatility, directing complex battle scenes as assuredly as he leads his wisecracking cast into action.

Director: George Clooney. Starring: George Clooney, Matt Damon, Bill Murray, Cate Blanchett. USA 2014, 118 minutes.
