Dir. Hlynur Palmason - 2022 - 143m - Iceland - in Danish with English Subtitles - NO MATINEES

The struggle between the strictures of religion and our own brute animal nature plays out amid the beautifully forbidding landscapes of remote Iceland in this stunning psychological epic from director Hlynur Pálmason. In the late nineteenth century, Danish priest Lucas (Elliott Crosset Hove) makes the perilous trek to Iceland’s southeastern coast with the intention of establishing a church. There, the arrogant man of God finds his resolve tested as he confronts the harsh terrain, temptations of the flesh, and the reality of being an intruder in an unforgiving land. What unfolds is a transfixing journey into the heart of colonial darkness attuned to both the majesty and terrifying power of the natural world.

"Palmason has enlisted us for a voyage of visual splendor, as terrifying as it is breathtaking, and divine contemplation." - Carlos Aguilar, indieWire

"This richly realized, meditative and invigorating saga makes clear: plans are the folly of man, the workings of survival are infinitely more mysterious." - Robert Abele, TheWrap

"One secret of this extraordinary film, and of its power to exhilarate: the shock of emotional vigor, arising from the continual rub of physical texture and effort." - Anthony Lane. New Yorker

"This transfixing drama is certainly austere. But there’s also a marvelously odd vein of sneaky humor running through it, along with an unpredictability that keeps you glued." - David Rooney, Hollywood Reporter

Dir. Stephen Frears - 2023 - 109m - UK

Starring Sally Hawkins, Steve Coogan, Harry Lloyd and Mark Addy 

In 2012, having been lost for over 500 years, the remains of King Richard III were discovered beneath a carpark in Leicester. For Philippa Langley, this was the culmination of years of obsessive research during which she had faced the incomprehension of friends and family and the derision of experts and academics.

"A perfect vehicle for Hawkins’s reliably winning screen presence." - The Observer

"A historical detective story that carries the kick of a true-life Da Vinci Code." - Variety

"Thanks to Frears’ touch, and Hawkins’ unrelenting and rousing performance, it’s hard not to get won over by The Lost King." - Collider
