LICORICE PIZZA
Paul Thomas Andersonโs sun-bleached Licorice Pizza (2021) follows teenage hustler Gary Valentine (Cooper Hoffman) and 25-year-old Alana Kane (Alana Haim) as they drift across 1970s Los Angeles and stumble through love, ambition, and misadventure. A loose and comedic coming-of-age story to begin with, Gary and Alanaโs relationship eventually reveals a tender study of connection set against the Californian dream. Underneath Andersonโs homegrown nostalgia for the city he grew up in, Licorice Pizza evokes the innocence, ambitions and desires that define being young, and the indelible mark they leave upon us.

DAVID LYNCH: DELUSIONS AND DREAMS
David Lynch: Delusions and Dreams celebrates the singular vision of the late David Lynch: the beloved filmmaker who blended dreams, beauty, and strangeness, always with profound sincerity, as a means of excavating the mysteries that lie beneath everyday life.
Joining the collection is The Elephant Man (1980), in which Lynch transforms the biopic into something deeply humane. It tells the story of Joseph Merrick (John Hurt), a severely deformed man in Victorian London, who uses his disfigurement to earn a living as the โElephant Manโ. Upon discovering Joseph in a circus side show, Dr. Treves (Anthony Hopkins) takes a personal interest in him and discovers that beneath his shocking appearance hides a refined soul.

FAKE IT, MAKE IT: TWO BY AMALIA ULMAN
The sharp, deadpan explorations of performance, class, and feminine identity of artist-filmmaker Amalia Ulman are brought together in our Fake It, Make It: Two by Amalia Ulman collection. New to the platform is El Planeta (2011), where Ulman turns her eye onto a mother and daughter grifting their way through a post-crisis Spain. Be it through shop-lifting, high glamour, or an impending eviction, the two bond through their shared despair with disarming whimsy, in what is a hilarious but tragic exploration of aspirational class delusion.

WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN
In Lynne Ramsayโs unsettling We Need to Talk About Kevin (2011), once successful writer Eve (Tilda Swinton) has the limits of her motherhood put to the test after her son Kevin (Ezra Miller) enacts an act of unspeakable violence. With a relationship already fraught even before the crime, Eve struggles to reconcile her own ambivalence and guilt with the enormity of Kevinโs actions.
A probing study of maternal guilt and adolescent malevolence, Ramsay boldly explores the generational, emotional, and psychological fractures that shaped Kevinโs path, but not without fleeting moments of intimacy that hint at a complex and hidden humanity beneath his ominous behaviours.
We Need to Talk About Kevin (Ramsay, 2011) – 1st November
THE GRADUATE
Forever capturing the restless uncertainty of youth, Mike Nicholโs legendary The Graduate (1967) follows recent college graduate Benjamin Braddock (Dustin Hoffman) adrift in a world of parental expectations and suburban ennui. As a small rebellion, he begins an affair with the older Mrs. Robinson (Anne Bancroft), only to find it further questioning his beliefs of the world heโs trying to escape.
The Graduate (Nichols, 1967) – 1st November
THE NEST
A sharp satire on social climbing and a biting exposition on the moral compromises that entering high society demands, Sean Durkinโs The Nest (2020) charts Rory OโHaraโs (Jude Law) relocation of his family from the American suburbs to a sprawling English manor in pursuit of wealth and status. Tension simmers as Roryโs ambitions clash with the householdโs needs, particularly those of his perceptive wife Allison (Carrie Coon) and their children, whose growing resentments quietly escalateโฆ
The Nest (Durkin, 2020) – 5th November
BABYTEETH
Shannon Murphyโs Babyteeth (2019) follows Milla, a teenage cancer patient whose life is upended when she meets Moses, a slightly older drug dealer. Their improbable bond becomes a lifeline to Milla, giving her reason to keep going at the behest of her overly protective parents. Set in the sun-drenched Australian suburbs, Millaโs occasional moments of rebellion against her humdrum trapping empathise with her desperate need to confront mortality, and the fleeting moments of joy that doing it provide.
Babyteeth (Murphy, 2019) – 21st November
THE LONELIEST PLANET
Julia Loktevโs The Loneliest Planet (2011) traces a young couple, Alex (Gael Garcรญa Bernal) and Nica (Hani Furstenberg) as they backpack through Eastern Europe. After arriving in Georgia, they hire local guide Dato (Bidzina Gujabidze) who takes them across the rocky Caucasus mountains. As they navigate both the landscape and each other, a moment of near-disaster changes everything the couple believes about themselves.

HOUSE BY THE RIVER
In Fritz Langโs sinister House by the River (1950), writer Stephen Byrne convinces his brother to help dispose of the body of Emily, a maid he has accidentally killed. As the corpse floats in the river outside his home, Stephenโs sense of moral certainty begins to crumble, echoed in the pages of his own writing.
