The Irishman (15)

Relaxed Screening

Al Pacino and Robert De Niro are escorted through a lobby by police in Martin Scorsese's The Irishman

An epic masterpiece from Martin Scorsese about the mysterious disappearance of Teamster’s union leader Jimmy Hoffa.

Robert De Niro plays Frank Sheehan, a WWII veteran who falls in with the Italian mob. Falling under the wing of Russell Bufalino (an excellent Joe Pesci), he rises through the ranks, eventually becoming friends with the hugely influential Hoffa (Al Pacino). And yet, when Hoffa ends up in debt to the mob, the friendship must be put aside.

With a superb cast, including Anna Paquin, Ray Romano, Harvey Keitel and Stephen Graham, this is a spectacular trip through decades of modern American history through the story of an infamous crime.

Relaxed screenings are specially tailored for film fans who may be on the autistic spectrum, have Tourette Syndrome, anxiety, sensory difficulties or other learning disabilities.

The cinema environment is tailored to the needs of the audience by having the lights dimmed, though not off, and the volume levels a little lower than usual. Attendees are free to sit in whichever seat they like and can enter and exit the room at any time, with easy access for any wheelchair users. Attendees are free to make noise in these screenings. Staff are trained and ready to assist with any help the audience may need during these trips to the cinema at Barbican.
