DESCRIPTION:In Victorian London\, pregnant young Bella Baxter (Emma Stone
) kills herself by leaping off a bridge\, but is brought back to life by
the brilliant and unorthodox Dr. Godwin Baxter (Willem Dafoe). Although
her brain did not survive\, he replaces it with one from her unborn fet
us and the end result is nothing short of a miracle: the resurrected Bel
la evolves at a fantastic rate and is hungry to learn all she can. So mu
ch so that she eventually runs off with debauched lawyer Duncan Wedderbu
rn (Mark Ruffalo) on a whirlwind adventure of self-discovery.\n\nWildly
imaginative and exhilaratingly over the top\, Poor Things is a feminist
black comedy that is perhaps Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos’s (The Favo
urite) most bizarre film yet. But its beating heart is an astonishing pe
rformance from Emma Stone that is as fearless as Bella herself.\n\nWinne
r of four Oscars in 2024\, including for Best Actress (Emma Stone) and B

the Dragon Warrior (Jack Black) is called upon by destiny to take up a l
ofty new role as a spiritual leader. Though doubtful of his suitability\
, he nevertheless sets out to quickly find and train a successor to take

rival of a powerful\, shapeshifting sorceress (Viola Davis) with a devio
us plan to conjure villains from Po’s past.\n\nIt's been eight long year

DESCRIPTION:Jamie (Margaret Qualley) is an uninhibited free spirit\, who
is bemoaning yet another breakup with a girlfriend. Deciding that she ne
eds a fresh start\, she and her demure best friend\, Marian (Geraldine V
iswanathan)\, set off on an impromptu road trip to Tallahassee\, Florida
. But things quickly go awry when a case of mistaken identity involving
a rental car and a mysterious briefcase puts them in the crosshairs of a
group of inept criminals.\n\nDrive-Away Dolls is solo directorial debut
of Ethan Coen\, half of the filmmaking duo behind films like Fargo and
The Big Lebowski\, so you could say he knows a thing or two about crime
capers packed with colourful characters in absurd situations. And with a
cast including Matt Damon\, Pedro Pascal and Beanie Feldstein\, the onl
y thing to do is go along for the ride.\n\n\n-

DESCRIPTION:PRESENTED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE EMBASSY OF ITALY\n\n
Two teenagers\, Seydou and Moussa\, decide to leave their hometown of Da
kar in Senegal and following their dreams of musical stardom all the way
to Italy. Despite being repeatedly warned about the arduous journey\, t
he allure of escaping poverty to become rich and famous is simply too en
ticing. But almost as soon as they depart\, they find themselves confron
ted with all manner of tribulations: from the vastness of the Sahara des
ert to the horrors of detention centres in Libya to the perils of the op
en sea.\n\nWith his moving take on the migrant crisis\, Italian director
Matteo Garrone (Gomorrah\, Dogman) has crafted a suspenseful contempora
ry odyssey that offers a unique cinematic perspective not often seen in
Western media. Io Capitano is a transfixing\, powerful and empathetic ex
perience.\n\nNominated for Best International Feature Film at the 2024 O
scars.\n\n\n-

DESCRIPTION:Hirayama (Koji Yakusho) is a middle-aged man who seems utterl
y content with his humble life as toilet cleaner in Tokyo. He drives aro
und serenely from job to job in his van\, listening to classic rock musi
c on old-school audio cassettes. And outside of his very structured ever
yday routine\, he indulges in his passion for books and taking photos of
trees. But who is Hirayama? And does his monk-like existence conceal a
mysterious past? \n\nMuch like most of his celebrated experimental work\
, the first film in six years from German director Wim Wenders (Wings of
Desire\, Paris\, Texas) – and his first in Japanese – defies categorisa
tion. But spend some time with Hirayama and you’ll find a deeply moving
and poetic reflection on finding beauty in the everyday world around us.
\n\nNominated for Best International Feature Film at the 2024 Oscars.\n\

DESCRIPTION:Like many a tennis prodigy before her\, Tashi (Zendaya) has t
urned to coaching but remains a force of nature who makes no apologies f
or her game on and off the court. Attempting to get her once-champion hu
sband (Mike Faist) out of a devastating losing streak\, Tashi employs a
bold strategy: to redeem himself\, he must face off against Patrick (Jos
h O’Connor)\, his former best friend and Tashi’s former boyfriend. As th
eir pasts and presents collide\, tensions run high and old rivalries are
reignited\, and they must each decide how far they’re willing to go to
win.\n\nChallengers is the highly anticipated latest film from Italian d
irector Luca Guadagnino (Call Me By Your Name\, Bones and All) – an emot
ionally complex and sumptuous romantic sports drama which gives new mean
ing to the phrase ‘love all’.\n\n\n-

DESCRIPTION:In the 1920s\, the quiet English seaside town of Littlehampto
n was scandalised when its residents began receiving anonymous letters p
acked with profanities. The missives were so offensive – and numerous –
that national uproar ensued\, prompting a police investigation and\, eve
ntually\, a series of trials.\n\nCaught up in this onslaught of obscenit
y are two neighbours: conservative local Edith (Olivia Colman) and rowdy
Irish migrant Rose (Jessie Buckley). Though they were once close\, a fa
lling out has pitted them against each other. And with Edith on receivin
g end of the letters\, Rose becomes the number one suspect – but appeara
nces can be deceiving.\n\nBased on absurd true events\, Wicked Little Le
tters is a darkly comic drama with a splendid cast which entertainingly
explores a primitive precursor to today’s all-too-common practice of tro
lling.\n\n\n-

DESCRIPTION:From hectic early beginnings in Camden in the early 2000s to
global adoration – and back again – this is a celebration of the storied
life of British singer-songwriter Amy Winehouse (Marisa Abela)\, which
was tragically cut short in 2011 at the age of 27 due to alcohol poisoni
ng. Offering an unflinching\, unapologetic look at the extraordinarily t
alented woman behind the music\, the film details Amy’s struggles with g
lobal fame\, substance abuse\, and her rocky relationship with husband B
lake Fielder-Civil (Jack O’Connell)\, which inspired the 2006 album of t
he title.\n\nRelative unknown Abela takes on the daunting task of playin
g the iconic Winehouse in this vibrant biopic which serves as a powerful
tribute to a once-in-a-generation talent. And of course\, the soundtrac
k has no shortage of Winehouse’s soul-stirring music.\n\n\n-
