Celebrate Genesis' 27th Birthday with a special selection of our favourite films from the past 27 years at £2.50 our 1999 ticket price. Andrew Haigh's stunning second feature film is the story of Glen and Russell, two young men who spend a lifetime together all in the duration of one weekend. Glen is an out and proud gay man whereas Russell is the shy, one-foot-still-in-the-closet type (played by the mouth-watering Tom Cullen). Meeting in a club on a Friday night, they begin a relationship that is intimately and expertly explored by Haigh's script, two actors delivering career-making performances and cinematography that is once both natural and achingly beautiful. Haigh is an exciting new voice in British cinema and whether this is your first, second or tenth time seeing Weekend, come along and bring a special someone - this film melts the hardest of hearts.
