          Only The River Flows

          Keswick Alhambra Cinema

          Chief police investigates a series of murders in a riverside town in rural China in the 1990s. An arrest is made quickly, clues push the policeman to dive deeper into the hidden behaviour of the locals.

          Only the River Flows is based on Yu Hua's story Mistakes by the River. Director Yimou Zhang initially wanted to make a suspense film based on this story, back in the 1990s. Per Yu Hua, they wrote for many days but didn't know how to film it. Yu Hua gave Yimou Zhang another story, To Live, instead, which was made into same named movie To Live (1994) , and subsequently won the Grand Prize of the Jury of Cannes Film Festival in 1994.

                                      Winner of the Olivier Award for Best Family Show in 2021, do not miss this 'enchantingly staged' family folk opera in cinemas for the first time.

                                       

                                      Red Riding Hood is tasked with delivering bread to her Grandmother, deep in the heart of the fairy- tale forest. But en-route, Red meets a cunning Wolf who tricks her into taking a different path. Along the way, Red stumbles into a colourful cast of characters, including a scary witch, a talking cat and a rather persuasive Peddler. 

                                      Join our ragtag band of wild musicians as they guide all the family through this famous tale with new twists, turns, magic and song.

                                      65 minutes with no interval
