2025 | Dir Park Chan-wook | South Korea

Stars: Lee Byung-hun, Son Ye-jin, Park Hee-soon

Devoted family man (Lee Byung-hun) is made redundant from his job at the paper factory. Finding himself adrift in a merciless job market, he is determined to provide for his loved ones. Lee hatches an audacious — and wildly unethical — plan to remove his rivals one by one. What follows is a gleefully twisted climb back toward employment. Playful, sharp, and full of surprises, No Other Choice is a jet-black comedy from Park Chan-wook (Oldboy, The Handmaiden), blending domestic desperation with deliciously dark humour.

2026 | Dir Nia DaCosta | UK | USA | 109 min

Stars: Ralph Fiennes, Jack O’Connell, Alfie Williams

Young Spike (Alfie Williams) remains unable to escape the sadistic cult of Jimmies roaming what’s left of the country, offering “charity” to those they find. Meanwhile, Dr. Kelson (Ralph Fiennes) continues his search for a way to understand the Rage virus which ravaged the UK almost thirty years ago, with help from an unlikely assistant. Equal parts brutal and thought-provoking, this second instalment of Danny Boyle and Alex Garland’s sequel trilogy continues to push beyond what a zombie movie can be, with a truly impressive lead turn from Fiennes.

1965 | Dir Richard Lester | USA | 84 min

Stars: Rita Tushingham, Ray Brooks, Michael Crawford

Director Richard Lester made this between his two films with The Beatles, and it won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival. Shot around London in Lester’s usual zany visual style, it is often seen as a prime example of the Swinging Sixties phenomenon. Colin ( Michael Crawford) is a teacher who is nervous around the opposite sex. His tenant Tolen (Ray Brooks) seems to attract beautiful women and tries to teach him ‘the knack’, but Colin becomes fascinated by Nancy (Rita Tushingham), a shy girl who he meets in a junkyard.

2025 | Dir Cherien Dabis | Germany | Palestine | 146 min

This saga of a Palestinian family ranges across 75 years, from the 1948 displacement of Palestinian Arabs to the near-present, and uses events of the past to show how resentment has grown in the pre-sent day. We first see teenager Noor caught up in a street protest – and then shots ring out. We then go back in time to see how his grandfather is robbed of his livelihood tending his orange groves, and how his father grows bitter trying to negotiate for his birthright. We finally see how this history affects Noor back in the present.

2025 | Dir Mary Bronstein | Stars: Rose Byrne, Conan O'Brien, A$AP Rocky

Writer-director Mary Bronstein crafts an incisive portrait of a woman nearing emotional free fall. Juggling work and personal survival, she is overwhelmed by her daughter’s illness, an absent husband and a therapist relationship that blurs professional boundaries. Anchored by a fearless, Oscar-nominated performance from Rose Byrne, the film moves between dark humour and unease, capturing the isolating weight of caregiving and the quiet terror of losing control while trying desperately to hold everything together.
