Whip-smart historical drama bristling with court intrigue, with a terrifically tyrannical Jude Law as King Henry VIII and Alicia Vikander as Catherine Parr.
Director: Karim Aïnouz
Cast includes: Jude Law, Alicia Vikander, Sam Riley, Erin Doherty, Eddie Marsan
Parent and Baby screening on Fri 4 October, 12pm
120 mins / 2023 / UK
Henry VIII had six wives. One survived. In blood-soaked Tudor England, twice married, accomplished, and educated Catherine Parr (Alicia Vikander), reluctantly agrees to become the sixth wife of the tyrannical King Henry VIII (Jude Law).
Parr's consent to marry Henry carries great personal risk, given that her predecessors are either vanquished, beheaded, or dead. When Henry appoints her as Regent, the nation’s ruler during his absence when he departs to fight overseas, he lays a dangerous path and Catherine finds herself under ever-increasing scrutiny and suspicion. Knowing that even a whisper of scandal might lead to her downfall, Catherine must unleash her own scheme to fight for survival.

New! Parent and Baby screening
Friday 4 October 12pm
Our Parent and Baby screenings are monthly screening exclusively for parents/carers with babies under 12 months. Babies can sleep, burble or cry – and parents/carers get a chance to catch up with some cinema. Babies go free! These screenings include Descriptive Subtitling when available and the sound will be lower than usual, and the lights up for your child's comfort.
We have restarted these screenings due to popular demand, however the cinema is not accessible for buggies due to our steep staircase therefore, and so all parents are kindly asked to bring their babies in a sling for the screenings as we have no buggy park or lift access. Please take special care on the stairs.
"Finally, an independent cinema in Hastings that shows films for parents where you can bring your baby, have a hot chocolate and enjoy the latest releases. Thank you Electric Palace for making us so welcome!" - Trina Everall
