Ciné Lumière’s Christmas special

South Ken can be a bunfight at Christmas, with all those museums and all those school holidays to fill. Enter the soothing sanctuary that is Ciné Lumière and take a load off with its Christmas screening programme. Cult Christmassy caper ‘Santa Claus Is a Stinker’ (aka ‘Le Père Noël est une Ordure’) will satisfy anyone with a yearning for French festive fare, and a screening of Tom Hanks stop-motion animation ‘The Polar Express’ promises a visit from Santa himself (Saturday, Dec 16).
