Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad) and Marianne Jean-Baptiste (Hard Truths) feature in a five-star, triumphantly acclaimed new production of Arthur Miller’s classic play, from visionary director Ivo Van Hove (A View from the Bridge).
One family, the heart of the American dream. When wartime delivers profits for Joe, it comes at a price when his partner is charged with criminal manufacturing deals, and his eldest son goes missing in action. Will peacetime bring peace of mind, or will he be confronted by the consequence of his actions? Filmed live from the West End, Paapa Essiedu (I May Destroy You), Tom Glynn-Carney (House of the Dragon), and Hayley Squires (I, Daniel Blake) also feature in this disturbingly prescient play. |

Our second writer-director offering this season, this time a debut from comedian Eva Victor, who also stars in the film. An honest and funny black comedy, it deals with the subject of life after sexual assault; however, Victor refuses to sensationalise or centralise the ‘bad thing’ and so for large chunks of the film you forget this is the theme.
It follows Agnes, a young college professor navigating life in the years after the assault and is told in non-linear chapters with wit and honesty. Victor’s offbeat tone lets moments of levity and vulnerability coexist, with the warm, supportive friendship of Naomi Ackie’s Lydie, giving the story its emotional centre. An amazing debut from a talent to keep our eyes on. |

Just a bonkers film to finish the season off with. Unlike anything else you are likely to see, a mixture of Sci-fi, political satire and western, the premise is macabre and the storytelling is unique. Peter Bradley in the Guardian: “It is a really strange film, beginning in a kind of ethno-anthropology and documentary style, becoming a poisoned-herd parable or fever dream and then a Jacobean-style bloodbath. It is an utterly distinctive film-making, executed with ruthless clarity and force.”
A village in Brazil lose their phone signal and notice they no longer appear on Google maps. Meanwhile on the outskirts, highly armed foreign ‘tourists’ gather to use the village as a playground. Bonkers and often violent, but highly memorable. |
