Winter of the Crow (15) 112 mins
An atmospheric Cold War thriller set against the freezing streets of 1981 Warsaw. It stars Lesley Manville as an academic whose routine visit turns into a nightmare of tension and risk with danger around every twist in the Kafka-esque city.
Lesley Manville’s performance as a cold academic who has to confront the very real dangers in a totalitarian regime anchors the film. She brings all her characteristic care, subtlety and intelligence to a role that highlights her power to command the screen.
