The Independent has excellent taste in films. They have named ‘Bel Ami’ and ‘Cosmopolis’ among their choices for ‘2012 Unmissable Cultural Treats’. We couldn’t agree more!

Bel Ami

Twilight’s Robert Pattinson plays an unscrupulous journalist on the make in 19th century Paris in an adaptation of Guy de Maupassant’s novel directed by Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod (from theatre company Cheek by Jowl.) Long before phone hacking and the Leveson Inquiry, the film shows that journalists were using the most devious means to get ahead.

Release date: 2 March

Cosmopolis

A multi-millionaire young stockbroker heads across Manhattan in a limousine to have a haircut. It may not sound like much of a starting point for a film but David Cronenberg’s screen version of Don DeLillo’s novel promises to be a sleek and disturbing satire about narcissism and modernity. Robert Pattinson stars as the self-absorbed anti-hero.

Release date: TBC

    Bring on 2012.

    This will be the year the world realises that Rob is soooo much more than broody Edward. I can NOT wait for ‘Bel Ami’ and ‘Cosmopolis’. Well, I’m not sure if I’ll be able to exit the theatre after ‘Bel Ami’, I may be melted to the seat. But I’ll try, purely so I don’t miss out on seeing Eric.
