Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman spar in a merciless divorce black comedy, of an upper-middle-class marriage that sinks into violent warfare.

An architect and chef in San Francisco have been comfortable with their children, friends, and each other for years, but friction begins when their careers rocket in opposite directions.

Before long, small disagreements have become openly dangerous sabotages – and by the time they reach the lawyers’ office, relations have become positively murderous. Drawing from Danny DeVito’s classic The Wars of the Roses and its source novel, Meet The Parents director Jay Roach and The Favourite screenwriter Tony McNamara retell an all-too-familiar story: sharp verbal fencing and surreal physical comedy hide a more grounded emotional core of love souring. Already individually brilliant, Cumberbatch and Colman bring out a new level of comedic potential in each other.

Fresh from a Grand Prix triumph at the Berlinale, Brendan Canty and Alan O’Gorman tell a stirring story of life reawakening for a teenager in working-class Ireland.

On the edges of Cork, 17-year-old Christy has been left damaged by his mother’s death and let down by a broken social care system, and must turn to his estranged half-brother for a place to stay. While there, he begins to find a new family, community, and direction in life – but their violent histories, and the dangerous realities around them, will not make it straightforward. Making their feature debut from a 2019 short film, Canty and O’Gorman balance unsentimental realities with cinematic luminosity and a genuine, mounting sense of hope and connection, making for a new coming-of-age classic. Newcomer Danny Power stands out as the stoic, vulnerable lead.

Christophe Barratier’s crowd-pleasing modern classic, of a teacher bringing life to a boarding school through song in postwar France, finally arrives at the Odyssey.

In 1949, would-be musician Clément takes up a post at Fond de L’Étang, where “difficult” boys are isolated and disciplined. Finding in them a liking for singing, he creates a choir for them as a source of joy, connection, and potential for everyone – but the unbending headmaster and threats of violence from other boys soon threaten to tear them apart. Loosely based on a real story and nominated for two Oscars, Barratier’s film tells an unashamedly old-fashioned story with warmth, spirit, and the right balance of sentimentality. It remains convincing and moving through its performances, not least those of the painstakingly cast child singers and actors who make up the choir.

The cinematic return of the global phenomenon follows the Crawleys and their staff as they enter the 1930s.

With the Great Depression in full swing, and World War II a storm cloud on the horizon, it’s a time of seismic socio-economic upheaval – making the gilded existence of the landed gentry suddenly feel very precarious indeed.

The whole bloodline is back – from upper-crust icons like Hugh Bonneville’s 7th Earl Of Grantham and his bothersome daughters Mary (Michelle Dockery) and Edith (Laura Carmichael), to below-stairs favourites including gentleman’s gentleman Mr Carson (Jim Carter) and his housekeeper wife, Mrs Hughes (Phyllis Logan). The renowned halls of Downton are graced with fresh new characters like Noel Coward and his iconic wit, the return of Harold (Paul Giamatti), and Allesandro Nivola as Sambrook, Harold’s mysterious financial advisor with his dubious charm.

As the beloved cast of characters navigates how to lead Downton Abbey into the future, they must embrace change and welcome a new chapter.

Forty-one years after the release of the groundbreaking mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap, the now estranged bandmates David St. Hubbins, Nigel Tufnel, and Derek Smalls (Michael McKean, Christopher Guest, and Harry Shearer) are forced to reunite for one final concert.

Spinal Tap II: The End Continues also marks the resurrection of documentarian Marty Di Bergi (Rob Reiner), who once again tries to capture his favourite metal gods as they contemplate mortality – and the hope that their 12th drummer doesn't join them in The Great Beyond. Joined by music royalty Paul McCartney and Elton John, Spinal Tap wrestles with their checkered past to put on a concert that they hope will solidify their place in the pantheon of rock 'n' roll.

The newly minted Good Guys are forced out of retirement to do ‘one last job’ by a rival criminal cabal – The Bad Girls!

Mr. Wolf, Mr. Snake, Mr. Shark, Ms. Tarantula and Mr. Piranha are back! Having defeated the evil guinea pig Professor Marmalade, the Bad Guys are enjoying a tranquil retirement, gradually transforming into ‘The Good Guys’. But their attempt at an honest life doesn’t last long. Having inspired copycat criminals The Bad Girls, they’re forced to take part in one last heist – and it’s their biggest and baddest yet.

With all the dynamic, Spiderverse-inspired animation of its predecessor, and several new additions to an impressive voice cast (including Natasha Lyonne and Maria Bakalova as two of the Bad Girls), this film raises the stakes, offering both a compelling heist and a beating heart, as DreamWorks competes valiantly for Pixar’s crown.

Cillian Murphy has played a physicist, a supervillain, and a gangster: Now he’s playing Steve.

The film follows a pivotal day in the life of headteacher Steve (Oscar winner Cillian Murphy) and his students at a last-chance reform school amidst a world that has forsaken them.

As Steve fights to protect the school's integrity and impending closure, we witness him grappling with his own mental health.

In parallel to Steve's struggles, we meet Shy (Jay Lycurgo), a troubled teen caught between his past and what lies ahead as he tries to reconcile his inner fragility with his impulse for self-destruction and violence.

Based on Max Porter’s bestselling novel Shy and directed by Tim Mielants who recently directed Murphy in another fantastic book adaptation - Small Things Like These.

Samurai films have had an undeniable impact on cinema history, and Harakiri is arguably the genre’s crowning achievement. It is currently the highest rated narrative feature on Letterboxd, and for very good reason.

During the Edo period, a ronin named Tsugumo Hanshiro arrives at the prosperous House of Iyi with one request; to perform ‘Harakri’ (or Seppuku) on their premises so that he may die honourably, as opposed to spending the rest of his days as a vagrant. The Iyi Clan suspects the man is actually seeking charity, but in their attempts to scare him off, Tsugumo Hanshiro’s true resolve begins to reveal itself…

Harakiri is a film that unites the humanist concerns of classic samurai cinema with the anti-authoritarian streak of the Japanese New Wave movement, and time has not diminished its bite or its relevance. Its plot is deeply engrossing, the direction of Masaki Kobayashi is laser focused, and the central performance by Tatsuya Nakadai is nothing short of titanic. The result is arguably the greatest samurai drama ever made, and one of the greatest films of all time.  

A former baseball player seeks to build a new life for himself and escape his past in New York City, only to become immersed in its criminal underbelly.

The latest film by auteur director Darren Aronofsky (The Whale, Black Swan, Requiem for a Dream) is unlike any other in his filmography: a 90s-set crime thriller laden with punk imagery and iconography, including Matt Smith’s orange-spiked mohawk. In agreeing to take care of Smith’s character Russ’ cat for a few days, Hank Thompson (Austin Butler) becomes unwittingly embroiled in a series of encounters with threatening gangsters – and he has no idea why.

Sound-tracked by the incomparable English post-punk band IDLES (the result of a chance meeting between the band and Aronofsky backstage at The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon), the film authentically carves out its own identity, injecting punk sound and aesthetics back into the mainstream.

Bursting with action, suspense, and Gerry Anderson’s groundbreaking supermarionation, these fan favourites showcase International Rescue at its very best – combining daring rescues, stunning model work, and unforgettable characters.

Episode 1: Trapped In the Sky

The first episode of Thunderbirds series 1. Master criminal The Hood plants a bomb on board the new atomic-powered airliner Fireflash before it departs on its maiden flight. Unable to land for fear of setting off the bomb, the crew and passengers' only hope of survival lies with International Rescue.

Episode 2: Terror In New York City

Largely regarded as the most exciting Thunderbirds episode ever made, after Thunderbird 2 is heavily damaged in a mistaken attack, it leaves the team seemingly without a swift means to transport any rescue gear to New York City to save a news crew trapped underneath the collapsed Empire State Building.

He has a particular set of skills – and he’s not afraid to use them!

Liam Neeson stars in the next chapter of the Naked Gun franchise, which serves both as a legacy sequel to Naked Gun 33⅓: The Final Insult (1994) and as a soft reboot. As Frank Drebin Jr, son to the character played by Leslie Nielsen in David Zucker’s films, Neeson here parodies his own extensive back catalogue of police procedurals and B-movie action fare. He effortlessly exchanges sincerity for satire with endlessly watchable comedic timing.

Having been in development since 2013, the film has been through various iterations before producer Seth MacFarlane joined the project. With a proven track record of sharp parody work, Akiva Schaffer of The Lonely Island sits in the director’s chair, honouring the franchise’s past whilst bringing it decisively into the 21st century.

Colin Farrell and Margot Robbie find each other and themselves in Kogonada’s beautifully surreal, soulful, and uplifting fantasy romance.

At one rainy wedding, two strangers meet and part ways, only to reunite when one’s satnav redirects them on a mysterious adventure. They follow it through doors to their pasts, reckoning with the deep joy, pain, and holes in their lives – and in facing them together, find a connection richer than either could have imagined. Working from a script by The Menu writer Seth Reiss, Kogonada (Columbus, After Yang) brings his careful cinematic touch to an extraordinarily sweet story, where otherworldly whimsy complements a serious, mature story of life reawakening.

Beautiful visuals and a score by Ghibli’s Joe Hisaishi never overshadow Robbie and Farrell, who make the emotional journeys at its centre both convincing and irresistible.

Spider-Man and Charlotte’s Web may have taken some strides in dispelling one of the world’s most common phobias. This film will make you think twice!

Jeff Daniels stars as Dr Ross Jennings, who has recently moved to Canaima, California with his family to start a happy smalltown life. His suburban daydream is short-lived, however, as the town is soon invaded by a deadly Venezuelan spider species which deliver death and destruction wherever they can.

The film is well aware of its own corniness, but while it keeps a comedic tone, it doesn’t shy away from genuine creepy-crawly scares. The film intentionally echoes Hitchcock’s The Birds, delivering entertaining thrills that’ll have you hunting down cobwebs for weeks to come!

Miloš Forman’s masterly drama of the passions, conspiracies, and messes behind classical music gets a new restoration for its 40th anniversary.

In late 18th century Vienna, Antonio Salieri devotes his life and soul to becoming a great composer – only to see an obnoxious young man called Mozart outperform him. Devastated, he plots to destroy his career and spite God for denying him greatness, leading to ruin for everyone. Already a major director for his Czech comedies and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Forman turned Peter Shaffer’s play into a grand epic of artistic rivalry that still feels modern and funny (Tom Hulce was cast from Animal House, and based his performance on John McEnroe). Besides sound-and-visual improvements, this release brings back the long-unavailable 1985 cut that originally won Best Picture, making it essential viewing.

A new Franco-Belgian comedy-drama follows a group of women finding new life and connection in rehab.

Suzanne, an alcoholic mother, finds her world upended when she gets into a car accident, and is forced to relinquish custody of her children. Placed in rehabilitation with other addicts, including a fading actress and a party girl in denial, she finds ways to start again – but their caretaker’s unusual methods, including entry in a Moroccan desert rally, will not make things easy. Writer-directors Elsa Bennett and Hippolyte Dard tackle the tricky, under-represented, topic of female alcoholism with the serious focus it needs, while finding plenty of unforced, character-based humour in the process.

A small scale and lack of melodrama allows its ensemble cast to shine, showing the road to recovery in all its shared awkwardness, pain, and joys.

The stunning directorial debut for Harris Dickinson, powered by an outstanding, award-winning performance from Frank Dillane.

Mike (Dillane), a rough sleeper on the streets of London, is trapped in a cycle of self-destruction as he attempts to turn his life around. Moving between short-term jobs and small-time hustles, he must balance the hopeful rush of a fresh start with a past that is holding him back.

By turns exhilarating and poetic, Urchin is a bold, vibrant and utterly unmissable portrait of life on the margins. The scenario is so familiar it could have been the same old story, but the texture of all this street life gives it rather a special shine. Don’t miss it.

From the team behind Top Gun: Maverick, F1 is a turbo-charged thrill ride that flies by with no rubber left unburned.

Brad Pitt stars as Sonny Hayes, a former F1 driver forced out of retirement to mentor rookie racer Noah Pearce (Damson Idris). The film is committed to a hyper-realistic depiction of top-speed auto

racing. Principal photography took place at Silverstone, including scenes shot during the 2023 British Grand Prix. As such, it features appearances from all ten Formula One teams and their drivers in the 2023 season, including Max Verstappen, Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc.

Top Gun: Maverick director Joseph Kosinski, producer Jerry Bruckheimer, screenwriter Ehren Kruger and cinematographer Claudio Miranda all seek to recreate that film’s Best Picture-nominated lightning in a bottle. Amplified by heart-pumping sound design and a score composed by the indomitable Hans Zimmer, it’s sure to be a thrilling adventure with relentless action.

A lone traveller in the snow-blanketed Minnesota wilderness witnesses the kidnapping of a teenage girl. As the only witness and hours away from civilisation, she is the young girl’s only hope.

Emma Thompson stars in this Fargo-inflected thriller which received rave reviews as it toured the festival circuit earlier this year. Whilst set in Minnesota, the film was shot primarily in Germany and Koli, Finland. Thompson was so impressed by the work ethic of the Finnish crew that she published a letter thanking them in Finland’s largest newspaper.

An all-thrills, no-frills character study, Thompson portrays the central good-natured widow with effervescent charm. It’s director Brian Kirk’s follow-up to his highly underrated 2019 police procedural 21 Bridges which starred Chadwick Boseman.

Paul Thomas Anderson and Leonardo DiCaprio spearhead a raw, timely, and masterfully made thriller, about an ex-radical fighting to save his family.

On the fringes of a small Californian town, Bob Ferguson struggles to stay upright for his teenaged daughter Willa, and the hole left by her mother and his failed revolutionary comrades. When she disappears as a wealthy white-supremacist army threatens their home, Bob must rebuild his team, reckon with the past, and prepare for battle, as what really matters becomes clear.

Working with a much larger-than-usual budget (reportedly $130-175 million) from bits of cult Pynchon novel Vineland, Anderson applies his usual cinematic mastery to new ground. Inventive action set-pieces punctuate a funny, tragic and very relevant story of a literal culture war, and one man (a fearless and moving DiCaprio) trying to survive it.

Just in time for Halloween, lock your doors and keep quiet – the zombies are coming!

The film that reanimated interest in the zombie subgenre, George A. Romero’s classic film is a thrilling example of low-budget guerrilla filmmaking. Shot on a modest budget of only $100,000 and filmed in a condemned warehouse, the film quickly garnered a cult following and soon became one of the most influential horror films of all time.

Reimagining the design and movement of zombies (or ‘ghouls’, as they’re called in this film), here Romero established the iconic archetype still used in films today – flesh-eating corpses devoid of human emotion on account of a malignant disease spread by infection. Ironically, Romero drew much inspiration for the film from Richard Matheson’s novel I Am Legend (1954), whilst Night of the Living Dead went on to heavily influence the 2007 film adaptation of the novel, starring Will Smith.

The crew of a commercial spaceship are picked off one by one by a merciless extraterrestrial.

One of the most influential films of all-time, Alien is iconic not only for its atmospheric score, outstanding visual effects or dynamic performances from Sigourney Weaver, Harry Dean Stanton and John Hurt. Perhaps the film’s greatest success is the lived-in environments it builds. The Nostromo feels alive; its digestive system of leaky pipes and uncooperative computers becomes the perfect environment for ever-building terror once the malevolent Xenomorph comes aboard. Similarly, the alien environments and Xenomorph itself were designed by H.R. Giger, whose biomechanical style grants layers of meaning to a film already rich with subtext. A disposable crew at the behest of a multinational corporation seeking to develop biological superweapons with the help of dispassionate supercomputers? Sounds familiar!

If you’ve not yet seen it on the big screen, this is not one to miss.

Five-time Olivier Award winner Imelda Staunton (The Crown) joins forces with her real-life daughter Bessie Carter (Bridgerton) for the very first time, playing mother and daughter in Bernard Shaw’s incendiary moral classic.

Vivie Warren is a woman ahead of her time. Her mother, however, is a product of that old patriarchal order. Exploiting it has earned Mrs. Warren a fortune – but at what cost?

Filmed live from the West End, this new production reunites Staunton with director Dominic Cooke (Follies, Good), exploring the clash between morality and independence, traditions and progress.

Return to the film that opened the doors to the wizarding world and introduced us to flying broomsticks, talking portraits, and an owl-based postal system.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone brings J.K. Rowling’s magical universe to life with spellbinding visuals, iconic performances, and enough nostalgia to fill the Great Hall.

With Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint leading the way, the film beautifully sets the tone for one of cinema’s most beloved franchises. From Diagon Alley to the hallowed halls of Hogwarts, every scene is packed with wonder, humour, and a touch of danger (usually involving a troll).

And of course, no Hogwarts experience is complete without the Sorting Hat. Whether you're brave, brainy, loyal, or just here for the snacks in the common room — there’s a house for you. (Just don’t argue with the Hat. It hears everything.)

A perfect rewatch for longtime fans and an enchanting introduction for newcomers. Grab your wand, hop on your broom, and enjoy the magic all over again.

A gleefully offbeat blend of horror, comedy, and toe-tapping musical numbers, Little Shop of Horrors is a cult classic that’s as weird as it is wonderful.
Based on the off-Broadway musical (itself inspired by a 1960 B-movie), the film follows Seymour, a meek flower shop assistant who discovers a mysterious plant with a taste for blood - and a voice of its own. As the plant, Audrey II, grows, so does Seymour’s fame... but at a deadly cost.

Rick Moranis shines as the hapless hero, with a standout performance from Ellen Greene as the sweet but tragic Audrey. Steve Martin delivers a memorable turn as a sadistic dentist, and the film is packed with catchy songs, dark humour, and eye-popping practical effects. Directed with flair by Frank Oz, Little Shop of Horrors is a rare genre hybrid that manages to be hilarious, heartfelt, and horrifying all at once.

Perfect for fans of musicals and man-eating flora — it's proof that gardening can be murder.

Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy star as the Sanderson Sisters, three witches from the 17th century, bringing life and laughs to Disney’s dark cult fantasy.

After being forced by their parents to move from sunny Los Angeles to Salem, Max Dennison (Omri Katz) a skeptical 16 year old, and his 8 year old sister Dani (Thora Birch) find themselves exploring the old Sanderson’s house, along with the town’s leading teen queen and Halloween enthusiast Allison (Vinessa Shaw).

After dismissing a story Allison tells as superstitious, Max accidentally frees a coven of evil witches who used to live in the house. Now, with the help of a magical cat called Thackery Binx (Jason Marsden), the kids must steal the witches’ book of spells to stop them from becoming immortal.

Allow this unforgettable trio of enchantresses to put a spell on you this Halloween, and fight your hardest not to repeat their incantations! Still a sceptic? It’s time to get superstitious.

From the highly anticipated adaptation of master storyteller Stephen King's first-written novel, and Francis Lawrence, the visionary director of The Hunger Games franchise films (Catching Fire, Mockingjay – Pts. 1 & 2, and The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes), comes The Long Walk, an intense, chilling, and emotional thriller that challenges audiences to confront a haunting question: how far could you go?

Set in a near-future dystopia, one hundred teenage boys are forced to compete in a brutal walking contest where slowing down means death, and only one survivor earns freedom. Starring rising talents Cooper Hoffman and David Jonsson, alongside veteran presence Mark Hamill, the film captures the claustrophobic endurance and psychological terror of King’s tale. With its powerful cast and gripping direction, the result comes across as a mix between a buddy movie and a horror movie – a war movie without the war.

I ain’t afraid of no ghost! And neither are Billy Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis or Ernie Hudson.

When Dr. Venkman (Murray), Dr. Stantz (Aykroyd) and Dr. Spengler (Ramis) suddenly find themselves downsized from their University’s parapsychology department, they decide to go down the entrepreneurial route, chasing ghastly ghosts. During one of their assignments, they encounter Winston Zeddemore (Hudson), who joins them as their fourth member. But when they stumble upon a gateway to another dimension – a doorway that will release evil upon the city – the Ghostbusters must save New York from complete destruction.

Adding one of the best theme tunes and a truly apocalyptic finale, it is not surprising that this was the biggest film of 1984 – with humour, thrills, spills and special effects to boot, this is arguably one of the biggest cultural phenomenons of 80s pop culture.

So who you gonna call? (01727 453088?)

This classic horror-comedy is back for a hair-raising Halloween night treat!

Terrifying and funny in almost equal measure, John Landis' horror-comedy crosses genres while introducing Rick Baker's astounding make-up effects.

Two American backpackers from New York, David Kessler (David Naughton) and Jack Goodman (Griffin Dunne), are hiking across the Yorkshire moors. As night falls, they stop at a local pub, the Slaughtered Lamb. When the other pub-goers become hostile the pair decide to leave but not before they are given a warning: ‘Stay on the road. Keep clear of the moors’ and ‘Beware the moon’.

Irreverent of such advice - as characters in horror films always are! - the two decide to find a short cut...

Three weeks later David wakes up in a London hospital, in the care of Nurse Alex Price (Jenny Agutter). When interviewed by police Inspector Villiers, David is told that he and Jack were attacked by an escaped lunatic. Unable to believe this version of events David is visited by the freshly deceased and rapidly decomposing Jack who has another warning for David.

The best movie ever written by a teenager - Landis was just 19 when he penned the first draft - and it’s still a constant comic delight.

An artificial man with scissors for hands embarks on a new life in this modern fairy tale, the most personal film of Tim Burton’s career.

Edward Scissorhands was inspired by Burton’s coming-of-age as an isolated teenager in suburban Burbank, in which he struggled to start and retain friendships. Burton hired novelist Caroline Thompson to pen the script for the film, which kicked off a decades-long creative partnership across The Nightmare Before Christmas and Corpse Bride.

Having previously struggled to get the project off the ground, Batman instantly turned Burton into an A-list director. With the opportunity to make any film he wanted, Burton elected to make Edward Scissorhands. Stripping back the Gothic fantasia and unconventional structure, the film is a poignant tale of love and acceptance in defiance of societal expectations.

The best Rom-Zom-Com ever made!

There comes a day in every man's life when he has to get off the couch…and kill some zombies. When flesh-eating zombies are on the hunt for a bite to eat, it's up to slacker Shaun (Simon Pegg) and his best pal (Nick Frost) to save their friends and family from becoming the next entrée.

Shaun of the Dead first graced cinema screens in 2004, quickly becoming a cultural phenomenon and solidifying its place in the annals of horror-comedy history. Directed by Edgar Wright and starring Pegg and Frost, the film has since amassed a dedicated following who have eagerly awaited its return to the big screen. Any what better time than this Shocktober!

A new biopic appears following caretaker and Tourette’s awareness activist John Davidson, and his astonishing fight to make himself and his disorder seen.

In 1980s Galashiels, a teenage John is starting secondary school when he begins “acting out”, in ways he can’t control and his family cannot cope with. As it alienates them and repeatedly devastates his life, he begins to find stronger connections and an understanding of a then-obscure condition – and with it, the chance to improve his and others’ lives. Made famous by the documentary John’s Not Mad, Davidson’s life is retold with modesty, sensitivity, and humour by writer-director Kirk Jones (Waking Ned).

A down-to-earth focus, first-rate performances (from a cast including Maxine Peake and Peter Mullan) and deep empathy give extraordinary weight to his journey, and astonishment at what he has accomplished.

After spearheading an unprecedented spring of box office hits, former WWE wrestler Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson makes a dramatic turn as MMA fighter Mark Kerr.

A two-time UFC Heavyweight Champion, Kerr led a prolific career matched only by Johnson in his respective field. Charting the highs and lows of an athlete at the top of his game in the world’s bloodiest sports, The Smashing Machine follows Kerr’s MMA career, including the UFC, PRIDE FC and in fighting Vale Tudo, a loosely-regulated combat sport.

This is Benny Safdie’s (Good Time, Uncut Gems) first feature film not co-directed with his brother Josh. By all accounts, their split hasn’t dampened his talent: Safdie won the Silver Lion for Best Direction prize at the Venice Film Festival, an accolade previously won by The Brutalist’s Brady Corbet. The film also received a fifteen-minute standing ovation at the festival, with many praising Johnson and co-star Emily Blunt’s performances as Oscar-worthy.

Oscar-nominated Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl, Saltburn) is Jessica in the much-anticipated next play from the team behind Prima Facie.

Jessica Parks is a smart Crown Court Judge at the top of her career. Behind the robe, she is a karaoke fiend, a loving wife and a supportive parent. When an event threatens to throw her life completely off balance, can she hold her family upright?

Writer Suzie Miller and director Justin Martin reunite following their global phenomenon Prima Facie, with this searing examination of modern motherhood and masculinity.

Mystery, intrigue, beauty, passion, murder – shine a new light on Caravaggio in this dramatic biography.

Five years in production, this is the most extensive film ever made about one of the greatest artists of all time – Caravaggio. Featuring masterpiece after masterpiece and with first-hand testimony from the artist himself on the eve of his mysterious disappearance, this beautiful new film reveals Caravaggio as never before.

Multi-award-winning filmmakers David Bickerstaff and Phil Grabsky delve into the hidden narratives of Caravaggio’s life, piecing together clues embedded within his incredible art. The intriguing self-depictions within his works — sometimes disguised, sometimes in plain sight — offer a rare window into his psyche and personal struggles. Join us as we unravel the story of one of history’s most brilliant, complex and controversial figures.

Based on Isabella Tree’s best-selling book by the same title, Wilding tells the incredible story of a young couple that bets on nature for the future of their failing, four-hundred-year-old estate.

They set to work with their groundbreaking vision, battling entrenched tradition and major forces along the way, daring to place the fate of their farm in the hands of nature. Ripping down the fences, they set the land back to the wild and entrust its recovery to a motley mix of animals both tame and wild. It is the beginning of a grand experiment that will become one of the most significant rewilding experiments in Europe and beyond. This astonishingly moving film is a balm for worrying times.

Featuring a pre-recorded Q&A after the screening with Craig Bennett, Cheif Executive of the Wildlife Trust and Isabella Tree, author of Wilding.

Olivier Award-winner Jack Lowden (Slow Horses, Dunkirk) is joined by Emmy and BAFTA-winner Martin Freeman (The Hobbit, The Responder) in the critically acclaimed and subversively funny new play by David Ireland.

their shared experiences. But as Luka approaches step five – the moment of confession – dangerous truths emerge, threatening the trust on which both of their recoveries depend.

National Theatre Deputy Artistic Director, Robert Hastie (Standing at the Sky’s Edge, Operation Mincemeat) directs this sharp, stylish and darkly funny reimagining.
