- Sunset Boulevard (75th Anniversary)
Tinseltown's greatest self-satire, Billy Wilder's Oscar-winning masterpiece Sunset Boulevard returns in a meticulous restoration for its 75th anniversary.
Narrated in flashback by the corpse of luckless screenwriter Joe Gillis (William Holden) floating facedown in an LA swimming pool, Wilder's brutal study of the Hollywood dream factory cruelly casts faded silent film star Gloria Swanson as has-been Norma Desmond. Festering in her mansion and daydreaming of a comeback, Desmond insists, "I'm still big! It's the pictures that got small."
Also featuring other real-life giants of silent cinema, Erich von Stroheim, Cecil B. DeMille and Buster Keaton, Wilder's audacious classic retains all its bite and power.

"A taut and twisting revenge thriller" ★★★★ BBC Film
- Fackham Hall
Scripted by Jimmy Carr, Fackham Hall is a hilarious, goofy parody of British period dramas like Downton Abbey and Gosford Park. Mistaken identities, forbidden love, and one very inconvenient corpse turn the grand English manor of Fackham Hall into total bedlam in what becomes an irreverent comedy of class, romance, manners, and mischief.
From the director of hit TV series Catastrophe, it's the story of a pickpocket (Ben Radcliffe) who blags his way into service at a posh estate, only to fall for its feckless Lord's (Damian Lewis) rebellious daughter (Thomasin Mckenzie). Unfortunately, she's already betrothed to cousin Archibald (Tom Felton) in hopes of keeping the family from financial ruin...

With phenomenal performances from Oscar nominees Jessie Buckley (The Lost Daughter) and Paul Mescal (Aftersun), Oscar-winning director Chloé Zhao's (Nomadland) Hamnet - based on Maggie O'Farrell's acclaimed novel - is a wildly sensitive, magnificently crafted story of love, grief and the restorative power of art, nominated for multiple awards at the upcoming Golden Globes including Best Drama, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Actress.
1580 England. Impoverished Latin tutor William Shakespeare (Mescal) meets free spirit Agnes (Buckley), and they begin a passionate affair that leads to marriage and three children. As Will's theatre career takes off in London, Agnes anchors the family's domestic world alone. When tragedy strikes, the crucible of their shared suffering sets the stage for the creation of Shakespeare's timeless masterpiece, Hamlet - the most famous of his tragedies, and one which bears a name interchangeable with that of his son.

While initially, he finds the idea of the work absurd, Phillip eventually immerses himself in his clients' worlds, forming genuine bonds that start to blur the lines between performance and reality.

An ideal role of a performer of Fraser's deep sensitivity, Rental Family explores identity, loneliness and what it means to be human.

When Nora declines the lead, Gustav turns his attention to Rachel (Fanning), a Hollywood starlet seeking her breakthrough. With their fraught dynamics made even more complex, Nora, Agnes and Gustav are forced to confront their difficult pasts.
Anchored by astonishing performances, Sentimental Value is a rich, graceful and profoundly moving film that intimately explores sisterhood, father-daughter relationships and the power of childhood memories.
