the-imitation-game-poster-ukThe Imitation Game is a terrific film about the mathematician Alan Turing. Finely constructed and beautifully acted, particularly by its star, Benedict Cumberbatch, it is very highly recommended. Based on the book Alan Turing: The Enigma, by Andrew Hodges, the film inspires one to want to know more about Turing and his code-breaking work during WW2. I shall be hoping for a copy of the book in my Christmas stocking. [UPDATE 25.12.2014: Thank you, Santa!]

We watched the film at the new Curzon cinema in Victoria (London). It was our first visit and we liked the very comfortable and roomy seats. The cinema is ultra modern, more like a modern bar or club [not that we would know!). At the late-morning showing it was extremely quiet so probably not the best time to judge the design and atmosphere.

Have your say! (No need for any ID!)
