MAGNIFICENT film noir classic Rififi is showing at Southampton University’s The Phoenix on Wednesday.

Tony, just out of prison and angry at his girl’s infidelity, joins two pals and Italian safe expert Cesar to meticulously plan the burglary of a large jeweller. Not a word is spoken as the crime is carried out. And then things begin to go wrong...

This 1956 film in French is directed by Jules Dassin.

n CANNES Film Festival Palme d’Or winner The White Ribbon is showing at Everyman Winchester.

Shot in stark black and white, this precise, mesmerising work surveys the life of a rural Protestant village in northern Germany over several months from 1913 to 1914, ending, tellingly, on the eve of World War One.
