    Oscar-nominated provocateur Yorgos Lanthimos (Poor Things, The Favourite) reunites with stars Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons for the bold and absurdist sci-fi dark comedy-thriller, BUGONIA.

Debuting to a lengthy standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival, the film has been hailed as a "masterclass in directorial control", boldly challenging audiences both emotionally and intellectually. Written by 'The Menu' co-writer Will Tracy, BUGONIA is an English-language reimagining of Jang Joon-hwan’s acclaimed 2003 Korean cult classic, 'Save the Green Planet!' - now reinterpreted through Lanthimos’ uniquely off-kilter vision.

    Cast: Rose Byrne, Delaney Quinn, Mary Bronstein

    Winner of the Silver Bear for Best Leading Performance at this year’s Berlinale Film Festival, Rose Byrne delivers a tour de force in A24’s visceral IF I HAD LEGS I’D KICK YOU – writer-director Mary Bronstein’s darkly comic and unflinchingly honest portrait of modern motherhood. Linda (Byrne) is a therapist who can barely help herself, let alone anyone else. With her life crashing down around her, Linda attempts to navigate her child's mysterious illness, her absent husband, a missing patient, and an increasingly hostile relationship with her own therapist (played by funnyman Conan O’Brien in his dramatic film debut). When her bedroom ceiling collapses, forcing her and her daughter into a sterile hotel room, Linda’s fragile sense of control begins to slip completely. Chaotic, bitingly funny, and laced with surreal dread, IF I HAD LEGS I’D KICK YOU is a nerve-shredding yet profoundly human exploration of anxiety, identity, and the impossible expectations of motherhood. The psychological black comedy also features standout performances from A$AP Rocky, Christian Slater and fellow Australian Danielle Macdonald.

    Director: Lynne Ramsay

    Cast: Jennifer Lawrence, Sissy Spacek, Lakeith Stanfield

    Premiering to acclaim at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, Lynne Ramsay’s DIE, MY LOVE is a bold, blistering, and unflinchingly raw portrait of a woman on the edge. Adapted from Ariana Harwicz’s explosive novel, the audacious drama explores postpartum psychosis through a visceral, darkly comic lens and features fearless performances from Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson. In a forgotten patch of countryside, a writer and young mother (Lawrence) is battling her demons: embracing exclusion yet wanting to belong, craving freedom whilst feeling trapped, yearning for family life but wanting to burn the entire house down. Given surprising leeway by her family for her increasingly erratic behaviour, she nevertheless feels ever more stifled and repressed, while her companion (Pattinson) grows worried and helpless. Earning widespread critical praise for her ferocious, career-best performance, Lawrence anchors Ramsay’s strikingly vivid drama with an astonishing portrayal of the often-overlooked, underlying rage and madness simmering beneath the surface in the experiences of motherhood, womanhood, and love.

    Director: Scott Cooper

    Cast: Stephen Graham, Paul Walter Hauser, Odessa Young

    From Scott Cooper, director of the Oscar-winning music-drama Crazy Heart, comes the gritty, soul-searching biopic, SPRINGSTEEN: DELIVER ME FROM NOWHERE. Based on Warren Zanes' 2023 book and starring Golden Globe winner Jeremy Allen White (The Bear, The Iron Claw), the highly anticipated biopic follows Bruce Springsteen's journey crafting his hauntingly raw 1982 album “Nebraska”, which emerged as he recorded Born in the USA with the E Street Band. In the early 80s, Bruce Springsteen (Allen White) is a young musician on the cusp of global superstardom. As the E Street Band rides the high of The River tour, Bruce finds himself increasingly disillusioned by the expectations of stardom. Retreating into solitude in his modest New Jersey home with nothing but a four-track recorder and his guitar, he lays bare a collection of dark, deeply personal songs that will ultimately redefine his legacy. Told through a mix of intimate moments, flashbacks, and stark Americana visuals, SPRINGSTEEN: DELIVER ME FROM NOWHERE explores Bruce’s fraught relationship with his father, his lifelong struggle with mental health, and his refusal to conform to the commercial demands of the music industry. Peeling back the layers of a rock icon at a crossroad, the film sees Springsteen confront his own demons in pursuit of truth through music, leading to an album that is widely considered to be one of his most enduring works. Co-starring Oscar nominee Jeremy Strong (The Apprentice, Succession) as music critic Jon Landau, SPRINGSTEEN: DELIVER ME FROM NOWHERE is helmed by a crew of biopic familiars, creating a real and rare visionary wonder set to be as powerful as the work it is based on.

    In August 2017, in the lead-up to national elections, Jacinda Ardern unexpectedly became New Zealand’s opposition party leader. She had just turned 37. Two frenetic months later, she was Prime Minister. Just before the final vote was in, she discovered she was pregnant. She would become only the second head of state in history to give birth while in office. Ardern quickly became one of the most recognizable leaders in the world. She drew global attention from people craving a sensitive and compassionate approach to the critical issues of our time. In private, she struggled with being a mother and proving herself to a public skeptical of women’s leadership. A series of crises - the Christchurch massacre, pandemic lockdowns, and disinformation-fueled protests outside Parliament - would test that leadership and the feminine touch she brought to it. She resigned from office in January 2023, shocking her supporters and critics alike. Going behind the scenes of her administration and her private life, PRIME MINISTER follows Jacinda for seven years as she is catapulted to the top of New Zealand politics, becomes a feminist political icon, resigns suddenly from office and continues to champion the fight against isolationism, fear, and the distortion of truth. Intimate home footage shot by her husband and audio interviews that Jacinda did while in office give us unparalleled access. Along with in-depth contemporaneous interviews, these form the emotional backbone of the story, giving viewers an unfiltered window into her years in power. The world is at a perilous political crossroads. Trust in institutions, expertise, and liberal democracy itself are under dire strain. Which direction will we go? PRIME MINISTER leaves viewers wondering what the world might be like with more Jacindas at the helm.

    Director: Emmanuel Courcol

    The resounding audience pick of the 2025 Alliance Française French Film Festival, writer/director Emmanuel Courcol's wildly entertaining new comedy MY BROTHER'S BAND follows two siblings separated by fate and reunited by music. Thibaut (the exceptional Benjamin Lavernhe, ‘Delicious', 'C’est la vie!') is an internationally renowned orchestra conductor who travels the world. When a health crisis and subsequent DNA test inadvertently reveals that he was adopted as an infant, Thibaut discovers the existence of a younger brother, Jimmy (rising star Pierre Lottin), who lives in more modest circumstances; he works in a school cafeteria, cares for his mother and plays the trombone in a community brass band. The pair seem to have little else in common other than a love of performance, but sensing his sibling’s talent, Thibaut decides to remedy the injustice of fate and help nurture his brother’s gifts. An eruptive crowd favourite wherever it has premiered (notably receiving the highest audience score in the 51-year history of the San Sebastian Film Festival), MY BROTHER’S BAND is a rousing, feel-great trip to the cinema, expertly striking the perfect harmony between laughter and tears to celebrate family, community and the beauty and hope of collective spirit
