What's On
Toni Erdmann
This hilarious and acerbic comedy follows a retiree as he stages a series of outrageous pranks to disrupt his executive daughter's latest business deal.
The Godfather
A family saga in more senses than one, Francis Coppola's enthralling gangster opus aims to chronicle the American experience through the twentieth century. It is both a success story and a study of moral corruption.
Shoplifters
A Palme d'or winner in 2018, Shoplifters is both a hard-edged and heartwarming drama about a makeshift family of impoverished urchins and orphans in contemporary Tokyo.
Melancholia
Lars von Trier squares up to the end times with this grandly luxuriant but surprisingly punky sci-fi, set in an imposing country mansion house, where Justine (Kirsten Dunst) blows up what's supposed to be the happiest day of her life.
The Missouri Breaks
This exuberant, wild and wooly western from Arthur Penn features a brazenly transgressive performance from Marlon Brando, while Jack Nicholson underplays masterfully as the cattle rustler he's been hired to eliminate.
Little Big Man
Dustin Hoffman ages a century in Arthur Penn's epic picaresque anti-western, the tall tale of 121-year-old Jack Crabb, a white man rescued and raised by the Cheyenne, a one-time snake-oil salesman, gunslinger, and mule skinner under General George Custer.
Dancing Home
In 2015 internationally acclaimed Paiwan choreographer Bulareyaung Pagarlava returned to his hometown and established a new dance company for indigenous youth, rooted to nature and ancient tradition. This is their story.
Folktales
Pasvik Folk High School in Norway provides a very special gap year education. Located in the far north, it teaches arctic survival skills (bushcraft and hunting) and dog sledding (mushing).
Materialists
Celine Song's follow-up to Past Lives is a witty and good-looking romantic comedy with a female eye, unafraid to broach more serious themes.
Sweet Angel Baby
Everybody likes Eliza. But nobody really knows her. When her social media alter ego is exposed, the entire town is scandalized...
Paprika
A device capable of transmitting dreams falls into the wrong hands in this dazzling anime meta-movie from visionary filmmaker Satoshi Kon. The imagery here is never less than overwhelming; it's probably the greatest scifi movie of our times.
It's Never Over, Jeff Buckley
Oscar-nominated documentarian Amy Berg resurrects the tragic story of the sublime singer Jeff Buckley, whose 1994 record Grace is one of the greatest albums of the modern era.
