What's On
So Surreal: Behind the Masks
In the early 20th century many traditional Indigenous masks ended up in Europe, in museums and art collections, and, as this entertaining doc reveals, in the hands of surrealist artists like Max Ernst, André Breton, and Joan Miró...
The Adventures of Robin Hood
Errol Flynn in his most iconic role, and what remains the definitive film version of Sherwood Forest's legendary outlaw. It's a rousing, bravura entertainment, in gorgeous three-strip Technicolor. Rated: G
The Monk and the Gun
A monk sends his disciple on a surprising mission in this gentle, joyful Bhutanese comedy offering shrewd reflections from a culture far-removed from our own.
About Dry Grasses
The latest from Turkish master Ceylan (The Wild Pear Tree) is a complex, multi-layered and ultimately lacerating portrait of an art teacher stuck in a rural backwater he can't wait to escape, accused of inappropriate behaviour by his favourite pupil.
My Favourite Year
1954. Former Hollywood heartthrob Allan Swann (Peter O'Toole channeling Errol Flynn) is booked to appear on a TV comedy show. Junior writer Mark Linn-Baker is charged with keeping the star sober. No easy feat!
Love Lies Bleeding
A pumped Kristen Stewart is our touchstone in this sexy queer neo-noir from Rose Glass (Saint Maud). Don't miss one of the wildest endings you will ever see.
I Saw the TV Glow
Two misfits are sucked into the deranged world of a supernatural TV show. Trans filmmaker Jane Schoenbrun taps into something deeply disquieting in ways that reverberate long after viewing.
Do Not Expect Too Much From the End of the World
Radu Jude takes two days in the life of a stressed Romanian p.a. and gives us an urgent, pissed off, sourly funny polemic on the state of late capitalism. Exploitation, discrimination and hypocrisy are his targets; dialectics are his dynamite.
Close Your Eyes
Twenty years after the film he was directing fell apart when the leading man disappeared, Miguel (Manolo Solo) agrees to reopen the mystery for a TV show... He needs the money, and he's ready for a reckoning. A late masterpiece from Victor Erice.
