MICHAEL Sheen seems to have the fine art of getting the best of both worlds off to a tee.

His career is a satisfying mix of box office and award winners and of the more personal, arthouse projects which he obviously relishes.

The new one, Resistance, falls into the latter category, with more than a nod or two to the Ealing Studios classic Went The Day Well?

The movie gets rolling at Swansea's Taliesin Arts Centre cinema, with the Nazis having defeated the allied forces at Normandy, pushing into Britain, and occupying a small Welsh village.

The locals awake to find all of the men in the village of Olchon have vanished without a trace. Could they have left under the shroud of darkness to join the resistance?

Based on a book by Owen Shears, one of the Port Talbot actor's collaborators for The Passion, the movie is screened on Monday, January 30 and Tuesday, January 31.

7.30pm start.
