A chain-smoking newly widowed granny (Tsai Chin, Casino Royale) is at the centre of this heist comedy set in New York City's Chinatown.
"In the heart of Chinatown, New York, an ornery, chain-smoking, newly widowed 80-year-old grandma is eager to live life as an independent woman, despite the worry of her family.

Charlatan
STARTS 3 December
Jan Mikolášek is a man of action, reason and intuition. A faith healer. Just one glance at the urine bottle is enough for him to know what ails his patient. With fame comes fortune, and this at a time when Czechoslovakia is a pawn in a game being played by the major power blocs. Protected and used by both the National Socialist and Communist regimes, he steps in wherever the system fails. Along with his assistant František, with whom, as the secret police are well aware, he has much more in common than herbal medicine, the charlatan finds his morals being put to the test.
Directed by three time Oscar nominee Agnieszka Holland
"A rich psychological puzzle about a compromised political survivor."
