Set in the vibrant yet volatile expat underworld of 1950s Mexico City, Craig stars as Lee, a disillusioned American grappling with his identity. Seeking solace in a haze of drugs and alcohol, Lee becomes infatuated with Eugene Allerton, a younger, enigmatic man who is both the object of his obsession and a mirror of his own fractured psyche. As their tenuous connection spirals into a tangled web of dependence and rejection, the film delves deeply into the complexities of desire, self-loathing, and the human need for connection.

With Guadagnino’s signature visual flair and a brilliant score from Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, QUEER captures the raw vulnerability of Burroughs’ prose while expanding it into a lush cinematic experience. A fearless and unrelenting look at the destructive power of love and the search for meaning in a world on the fringes, QUEER is both a gripping character study and a timeless reflection on the universal longing to be seen.

Queer will be released in Aussie cinemas February 6, 2025!

A 40-year passion project brought to life with over $120 million of Francis Ford Coppola’s own money, giving him complete creative control, and a cinematic spectacle that demands to be seen on the big screen, this ambitious sci-fi epic, deeply inspired by the Roman Empire, not to mention The Fountainhead, Shakespeare, and Dickens, tells the story of New Rome, a futuristic city plagued by corruption.

Adam Driver stars as an architect striving to build a utopian society, alongside a stacked cast including Giancarlo Esposito, Nathalie Emmanuel, Aubrey Plaza, Shia LaBeouf, Jon Voight, Laurence Fishburne, and Dustin Hoffman.

“After a thirteen-year absence, a great American director returns with an ambitious vision of a world in need of renewal.” – New Yorker

“He’s done it again, and perhaps exceeded himself. Megalopolis might be the craziest thing I’ve ever seen. And I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy every single minute of it.” – Vulture

“Francis Ford Coppola’s wild and delirious fever dream inspires new hope for the future of movies.” – Indiewire

The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes follows a young Coriolanus (Tom Blyth) who is the last hope for his failing lineage, the once-proud Snow family that has fallen from grace in a postwar Capitol. With his livelihood threatened, Snow is reluctantly assigned to mentor Lucy Gray Baird (Rachel Zegler), a tribute from the impoverished District 12. But after Lucy Gray’s charm captivates the audience of Panem, Snow sees an opportunity to shift their fates.

With everything he has worked for hanging in the balance, Snow unites with Lucy Gray to turn the odds in their favor. Battling his instincts for both good and evil, Snow sets out on a race against time to survive and reveal if he will ultimately become a songbird or a snake.

The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes is directed by Francis Lawrence and stars Tom Blyth, Rachel Zegler, Peter Dinklage, Hunter Schafer, Josh Andrés Rivera, Jason Schwartzman and Viola Davis

The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes is coming to Australian cinemas on November 16, 2023.

That idiosyncratic nature plays out in the look of the sets and costumes, the colour palette and lighting, the dialogue and performance of the actors and the whimsical nature of the stories they tell. Seldom laugh-out-loud funny, the humour is too dexterous for that, this is the kind of mirth that builds most in remembrance.

Trying to reduce Asteroid City to a mere synopsis does it a disservice as it is a work filled with subtext, subversion and subliminal cues that emerge in retrospection. Anderson’s movies almost always grow in stature the more you think about them. They are uniquely memorable.

It’s those memories that power avid fan’s desire to have so many of his works on high rotation at home. Asteroid City will have the power to be either the most or least favourite of his films and that distinction will only come into focus after many visits to his deep well of weirdness.

Years before he would become the tyrannical President of Panem, 18-year-old Coriolanus Snow (Tom Blyth) is the last hope for his fading lineage, a once-proud family that has fallen from grace in a post-war Capitol.

But, after Lucy Gray commands all of Panem’s attention by defiantly singing during the reaping ceremony, Snow thinks he might be able to turn the odds in their favor. Uniting their instincts for showmanship and newfound political savvy, Snow and Lucy Gray’s race against time to survive will ultimately reveal who is a songbird, and who is a snake.
