The perfect last minute Xmas gift: give your special someone a cute ball of fur and don’t worry about where it came from. Just don’t put it under bright lights, don’t get it wet, and whatever you do, please, please don’t feed it after midnight…
Gremlins began life as a horror movie but mutated into a big budget family entertainment – somehow retaining its genuinely vicious teeth. One of the most astringent, least sentimental directors around, Joe Dante fashioned it as an anti-Christmas film, inserting mischievous riffs on such seasonal classics as It’s a Wonderful Life, The Wizard of Oz and Phil Spector’s Christmas Album, trashing parochial small town Americana, consumerism, greed, and in a particularly delicious conceit holding up his rampaging signifiers as a mirror image to the ravenous, popcorn-belching movie hordes.

Also Playing
Barking Dogs Never Bite
Bong's first film is a genial black comedy involving the deaths -- accidental and otherwise -- of several dogs in a Seoul apartment complex. Saturday's screening will be followed by a talk by Distinguished Professor Dal Yong Jin.
Flow
In this wordless and gorgeously atmospheric animated feature, a solitary black cat survives a tsunami and must confront his fear of water whilst sailing through a flooded world with a group of misfit animals. An enchanting adventure film for all ages. Rated: G
Memories of Murder
Parasite director Bong Joon-ho's police procedural is the centrepiece of our retrospective and arguably his masterpiece. Certainly, among serial killer movies this one is on a par with Zodiac and The Silence of the Lambs, but more politically astute.
Emilia Pérez
When a defence attorney (Zoe Saldana) is enlisted to tend to the affairs of a notorious drug lord (Karla Sofía Gascón) completing gender affirmation surgery, there will be blood, ballads, and dance numbers. A maximalist musical from Jacques Audiard.
