All photos by BILLY FARRELL for PMc] The hottest event last night wasn’t at a trendy club or the newest restaurant, but at AMC Loews in the Flatiron District where Jessica Biel and the cast of Easy Virtue, dressed to the nines, attended a screening of the film. And if there was a celebrity in NYC, we’re pretty sure they took part in the festivities. Spotted on the red carpet were Ben Barnes, Colin Firth, Dree and Mariel Hemingway, Kelly Bensimon, Marc Jacobs, Olivia Palermo, and Nicole Miller just to name a few. Even Justin Timberlake, fresh from hosting Saturday Night Live, came out to support his lady love.

A welcome trend across our fair city is the growing number of outdoor movie offerings.  But in the heat we’re suffering through now, not everyone might want to ride a crowded subway to Bryant Park or Brooklyn. Luckily, Films In Tompkins has brought cinema al fresco to the East Village.

Regardless of whether it is an overarching appreciation for classic 1940s films, or if the label of something being FREE in New York City is an attention grabber – Bryant Park was overflowing with New Yorkers last night. From the hip of hipster to the guy who just got out from a long day at Citi to the mom in her floral dungarees, the HBO Monday Night Free Summer Film Festival showings always seem to draw an eclectic crowd.

“I will make it to New York,” Senay tells Okwe, as the two immigrants attempt some semblance of normal British life, drinking wine and dining with the closest thing they’ve got to family. In this great scene, Okwe asks whether Senay cleaned the 5th floor of the hotel where they both work, a seemingly standard bit of dinner conversation cloaking his real question: whether she too had seen the remnants of a guest, which he found in room 510.

Okwe’s question is a microcosm of the life they lead, that is, the life of the illegal, the shunned, the untouchables of contemporary London, who operate just below the surface. Audrey Tautou and Chiwetel Ejiofor are fantastic in Stephen Frears’ 2002 masterpiece, which blows away more recent immigration movies, Under the Same Moon and The Visitor.

In The Wackness, an unlikely friendship between a psychiatrist who repeatedly attempts suicide and a naive drug dealer brings out the best moments in this offbeat film. Rising indie star Olivia Thirlby is also great in her own combination of opposites: the girl next door who as far as lovestruck Luke’s chances go, might as well reside all the way over in Jersey.

“An endearingly budget documentary about the fight for gay civil partnerships in Italy, directed by and starring Luca and Gustav, the most charming gay couple you could ever hope to meet” Seeing as the Telegraph has never met us, we don’t take that personally!
