Opening at Wells Film Centre this week is Coriolanus (15), based on the play by William Shakespeare.

The citizens of Rome are hungry and Coriolanus, who is the hero of Rome, a great soldier and a man of inflexible self-belief despises the people.

Manipulated and outmanoeuvred by politicians and even his own mother Volumnia, Coriolanus is banished from Rome.

He offers his life or his services to his sworn enemy Tullus Aufidius.

Coriolanus and Aufidius march on Rome intending to destroy the city, but Volumnia makes one last appeal to her son.

The Lady (12A) also opening at Wells this week, is an epic love story about how an extraordinary couple and family sacrifice their happiness at great human cost for a higher cause.

This is the story of Aung San Suu Kyi and her husband, Michael Aris.

Despite distance, long separations, and a dangerously hostile regime in Burma, their love endures until the very end.

A story of devotion and human understanding set against a background of political turmoil which continues today.

The Deep Blue Sea (12A) is being screened at Strode Theatre, in Street tonight at 5pm and 7.30pm and tomorrow at 7.30pm.

Based on the play by Terrence Rattigan and set around 1950, it tells the story of Hester Collyer, the younger wife of High Court judge Sir William Collyer, who has embarked on a passionate affair with Freddie Page, a handsome young RAF pilot troubled by his memories of the war.

The majority of the film takes place during one day in Hester's flat, a day on which she has decided to commit suicide.

Her attempt fails and as she recovers her affair is discovered and she leaves her life of comparative luxury and moves into a small dingy London flat with Freddie.

Hester's new lover has awakened her sexuality, but the reckless, thrill-seeking Freddie can never give her the love and stability that her husband gave.

Showing at Strode on Monday and Tuesday at 7.30pm is a new adaptation of Wuthering Heights (15).

A poor boy of unknown origins is rescued from poverty and taken in by the Earnshaw family where he develops an intense relationship with his young foster sister, Cathy.

The film is based on the classic novel by Emily Bronte.

On Wednesday at 5pm and 7.30pm and on Thursday, February 9, The Well Digger's Daughter (PG) is being screened at Strode. A father in pre-Second World War France is torn between his honour and his deep love for his saintly daughter when she gets in trouble with the wealthy son of a shopkeeper.
