No Bears (12A)
Dir: Jafar Panahi 2022 | 107 mins
The outstanding new film from acclaimed Iranian director Jafar Panahi.
He plays himself – a filmmaker trying to direct a cast and crew in Turkey. He is forced to remain in an Iranian village close to the border.
As his actors perform their own story of attempted escape to Europe, Panahi finds himself coming up against suspicion and local traditions in the village where he is staying.
Jafar Panahi's latest film is a testimony to how artistry and protest can find inspiration in the very restrictions that he and other creative voices face.
‘A piercingly self-aware portrait of an artist who is not afraid to depict himself and his craft as aloof or insular’ ★★★★ Observer
‘A dark postmodern satire about the unexpected film that emerges within a film about making a film’ Times
‘Life, as they say, goes on, and No Bears observes people toiling away at existing while Panahi wrestles with the existential, this juxtaposition providing the cleverly timed comic relief that aids his witty social commentary’ Little White Lies
Triangle of Sadness (15)
Dir: Ruben Östlund 2022 | 147 mins
Celebrity model couple Carl (Harris Dickinson) and Yaya (Charlbi Dean) are invited on a luxury cruise. It is helmed by an unhinged boat captain (Woody Harrelson).

What first appears as an Instagrammable trip of a lifetime, soon ends catastrophically. The survivors are stranded on a desert island and fighting for survival.
Social hierarchy is turned upside down in this wickedly funny Palme d’Or winner. From the director of Force Majeure.

1953. A London shattered by WWII is still recovering. Mr Williams (Bill Nighy) is a veteran civil servant. He is an important cog within the city’s bureaucracy as it struggles to rebuild. Buried under paperwork at the office, lonely at home, his life has long felt empty and meaningless.
Then a shattering medical diagnosis forces him to take stock – and to try and grasp fulfilment before it goes beyond reach. At a seaside resort, he flirts with hedonism before rejecting it as his solution. Back in London he finds himself drawn to the natural vitality of a younger colleague.
Then one evening he is struck by a revelation. It is as simple as it is profound. With a new energy Mr Williams sets about creating a legacy for the next generation.
