Dane-ye Anjir-e Ma'abed

A mesmerisingly gripping and controlled parable-thriller in which the paranoia, misogyny and rage of the Iranian state are mapped seamlessly onto an ordinary family unit.

Iman (Missagh Zareh) is a judge who sees the benefits for his family in his career’s rapid advancement, but his student daughters (Setareh Malek and Mahsa Rostami) are suspicious of his increasing collaboration with the regime. He is warned not to confide in his wife (Soheila Golestani) as he is encouraged to wave through death sentences without considering the evidence. Iman’s divided loyalties are exposed when his government-issued handgun goes missing, and suspicion falls on the women in his home. Having debuted at Cannes following Rasoulof fleeing Iran in fears for his safety, this film was many critics’ picks for best of the festival. It combines an electrifying generational battle with real-life footage of Iran’s protest movement, and reveals the reasons why people accept toxic regimes and the courage it takes to resist them.

The masterful Steven Soderbergh gives us a thriller about a family hoping for a fresh start after a period of unease. They becomes convinced they are not alone after moving into their new home.

A family - Rebekah (Lucy Liu), Chris (Chris Sullivan) and teen kids Chloe (a phenomenal Callina Liang) and Tyler (Eddy Maday) - arrive at their new home in the suburbs with excess baggage and tensions they hope will dissipate. Chloe, grieving the recent loss of a friend, can see a “presence”, which starts interacting with her in unexpected ways. Shot entirely from the first-person perspective of a haunting spirit, the slow-burn thriller might have collapsed in less experienced hands, but Soderbergh expertly puts a terrific ensemble through their paces. Thirty-five years after his Palme d’Or for ‘Sex, Lies, and Videotape’ it is so inspiring that Soderbergh is still here making movies the way he wants to make them, playing with form in fresh and exciting ways, reminding us that he is one of film's more remarkable storytellers.

A woman is driven to shroud her identity, caught in a web of secrecy. As she conceals herself, the intricate layers of her hidden life unravel.

Kawabe Ichiko (Sugisaki Hana) is in her mid-20s when she disappears without a trace the day after her boyfriend Hasegawa (Wakaba Ryuya) proposes to her. When he tries to file a report, the police inform him that no record of her exists in the Kawabe family register. As Hasegawa tracks down her whereabouts and obtains testimonies from people who had associated with her, Ichiko’s unfathomable past emerges, along with a sad but shocking truth – the harsh fate she had to bear. Based on director Toda Akihiro’s own award-winning stage play and fronted by one of Japan’s most sought-after actors, Sugisaki Hana, as an unfathomable femme fatale, this is a gripping psychological thriller that tackles issues of poverty, child neglect and abuse, as well as the dark social injustice that exists in Japan.

At 11:30pm on October 11th, 1975, a ferocious troupe of young comedians and writers changed television forever. Find out what happened behind the scenes in the 90 minutes leading up to the first broadcast of Saturday Night Live.

Full of humour, chaos and the magic of a revolution that almost wasn't, we count down the minutes in real time until we hear those famous words… "Live from New York, it's Saturday Night!". This seems like a foolhardy challenge of finding sufficiently funny people to play some of TV’s most beloved - actors who could channel the frailties and insecurities of their counterparts, taking icons and making them human. Who plays Chevy Chase? Or Gilda Radner? Or John Belushi, for that matter? Reitman finds just the right ensemble to capture the lunacy from which ‘SNL’ was born.
