Empire of Light

In the early 1980s, an old-fashioned cinema serves as a gathering place for the lonely hearts of a quiet English seaside village. Despite their disparate lifestyles, the townsfolk come together, their lives intertwining in several poignant, heartfelt ways under the lights of the matinee. Sam Mendes writes and directs the romantic drama. Co-starring Olivia Colman, Ron Cook, Colin Firth, and Toby Jones.
