Steve McQueen’s Oscar tipped 12 Years A Slave in cinemas

Dir: Steve McQueen

Tipped for so many awards it should get its own trophy cabinet, this remarkable film retells the true story of Solomon Northup – a free man duped and sold into slavery, surviving through 12 horrendous years before regaining his freedom. With much discussion about the nightmarish realism depicted, this is as unflinching as we would expect from the award-winning director and cast. Starring Chiwetel Ejiofor, Michael Fassbender and Brad Pitt.

Released Fri 10 Jan
Showing at Duke’s At Komedia, Odeon and Cineworld
