A gay man makes a deal with his lesbian friend: a green-card marriage for him, in exchange for in vitro fertilization treatments for her. What they did not expect was Min's grandmother surprising them with a Korean wedding banquet.

This is a joyful comedy of errors about a chosen family navigating cultural identity, queerness and family expectations. Frustrated with his commitment-phobic boyfriend Chris and running out of time, Min (Han Gi-Chan) makes a proposal: a green-card marriage with their friend Angela (Kelly Marie Tran) in exchange for her partner Lee's expensive IVF. Elopement plans are upended, however, when Min's grandmother surprises them with an extravagant Korean wedding banquet. Lily Gladstone (‘Killers of the Flower moon’) co-stars in this poignant and heartfelt reminder that being part of a family means learning to both accept and forgive.

A husband-and-wife rediscover nature’s beauty and a renewed sense of vitality in this heartstring-pulling adaptation of a true-life tale.

Fifty-somethings Ray Winn and her husband Moth (Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs) receive a bad health diagnosis and court-ordered to vacate the only home they’ve known as a family due to insurmountable circumstances. They decide to walk the South-West Coast Path – the longest (630 miles) uninterrupted footpath in England – from Minehead to Poole along the Devon, Cornwall and Dorset coast armed only with a tent, limited supplies, very few clothes and the travelogue that inspired this trek. Helene Louvart’s excellent cinematography is a real highlight with filming locations including Padstow, Clovelly, Ilfracombe and some of the most beautiful rugged coast in the country, but do see if you can spot the scenes filmed at our very own West Wittering. This portrait of loss, humanity and rebirth is adapted from Raynor Winn’s personal memoir, with Anderson and Isaacs’ intimately textured performances standing out.

Fa Yeung Nin Wah

Two neighbours form a strong platonic bond after both suspect extramarital activities of their spouses. 25 years on from its release, we can safely say that this film has achieved cult-status as one of the most beautiful films on the big screen – don’t miss this rare opportunity.

In 1962, journalist Chow Mo-wan (Tony Leung Chiu Wai) and his wife move into a Hong Kong apartment, but Chow's spouse is often away on business. Before long, the lonely Chow makes the acquaintance of the alluring Su Li-zhen (Maggie Cheung Man-yuk), whose own significant other also seems preoccupied with work. As the two friends realize their respective partners are cheating on them, they begin to fall for one another; however, neither wants to stoop to the level of the unfaithful spouses. Without doubt one of the most breathtakingly gorgeous films of this century to date, dizzy with a romantic spirit that has been missing from the cinema since the 1940’s. This beautifully tailored, low key (but always dramatic) story is subtly erotic, and effortlessly cool. (Subtitles)

Wes Anderson’s brand-new film is simply a story of a family and a family business. But if we know anything about this director is that this will be anything but simple. Expect a super- A-list cast and a colourful hyper-stylized lens.

Benicio Del Toro stars as Zsa-zsa Korda, a maverick in the fields of armaments and aviation and one of the richest men in Europe. He is working on the Korda Land and Sea Phoenician Infrastructure Scheme, but he is being thwarted by powerful forces at every turn. He has ten children, including one daughter, a nun (Mia Threapleton, who happens to be Kate Winslet’s daughter), whom he designates the sole heir to his estate. In typical Anderson fashion, the adventure is a delight to look at and the list of stars who crave to be directed is almost endless. In this case: Tom Hanks, Scarlett Johansson, Bryan Cranston, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Benedict Cumberbatch, Jeffrey Wright, Rupert Friend, Mathieu Amalric, Jason Watkins, Riz Ahmed, Michael Cera and Richard Ayoade… WOW!

USA 2025 Wes Anderson

In the Norwegian wilderness, a family seeks a wild free existence, but a tragic turn of events shatters their isolation, compelling them to adapt to the demands of contemporary society.

This begins as the tale of Maria and Nik Payne, a couple who decided to quit the rat race and make a self-sustaining farm off the grid. Building a home, tilling a garden, gathering animals and eventually having children all were seeds for what seemed like an idyllic life. But life is never straight-forward. This is a lovely film about tenderness and family and living with a purpose rooted in love, but also how difficult it is in today’s economy to actually live solely off the land. It is suffused with magic, tragedy and gaining wisdom both old and new. Director Silje Jacobsen has created an incredibly well-shot film with breathtaking scenery that captures the majestic quality of nature. (Some subtitles)
