Screening of Paul Greengrass's historical drama 'The Uprising', starring Andrew Garfield, about the 14th-century English rebellion that inspired the Robin Hood legend.
The Uprising is screening at Gloucester Guildhall on Thursday 29 October, starting at 11:00. It's a 128-minute period drama set in 14th-century England, and it's directed by Paul Greengrass, who you'll know from Captain Phillips and The Bourne Ultimatum.
The story follows a farmer whose simmering discontent over King Richard II's brutal tax on the poorest leads him to mount a rebellion and draw an army of the people to face the King's might. It plays out against the true events of the uprising that inspired the legend of Robin Hood, and the peasant leader unintentionally becomes a symbol of resistance. It's a 15, so it's not one for the very young.
On screen, Andrew Garfield leads the cast, joined by Jamie Bell, Stephen Dillane, Tom Hollander, Cosmo Jarvis and Thomasin McKenzie. With Greengrass behind the camera, it's a bit of a departure from the high-tension thrillers he's best known for, trading modern chase sequences for a medieval rebellion.
