A talking fox, voiced by Olivia Colman, persuades a hunter to transform his cheating wife into an ideal spouse, in this gleefully outrageous, shape-shifting comedy.

As revenge for adultery, who wouldn’t take a talking fox’s advice to throw your cheating partner into a magical outback hole with transformative powers? Dario Russo’s sly, irreverent black comedy mercilessly satirises our baser animal instincts, and is played straight by a terrifically committed cast that includes Jai Courtney and Emily Browning, alongside the vocal talents of Colman and the late, great Sam Neill.

Martin McDonagh continues to mine the absurdities and complexities of male relationships in a film that brims with energy and is sure to delight.

On the cusp of dictator Augusto Pinochet taking power in Chile, a trio of CIA agents snipe and bicker as they await the ‘go’ date on their part in yet another military coup. However, against the stunning natural beauty and mysterious ancient artefacts of Easter Island, their plan starts to unravel. John Malkovich’s peerless performance chimes beautifully with co-stars Sam Rockwell and Steve Buscemi, who together bring McDonagh’s brilliantly acerbic and witty script hilariously to life.

A young Japanese singer is encouraged by her agent to quit singing and pursue an acting career, beginning with a role in a murder mystery TV show.

Our 11th October performance of Perfect Blue will be preceded by the European Premiere of brand-new short film, IDOLS.

Kim Min-ha (Hojo Shin) has always dreamed of the spotlight. Now, nearing 30, she’s still chasing a K-pop debut while everyone else sees only her uncanny resemblance to superstar Park Hye-mi (Hojo Shin)—the woman she believes is living the life that should have been hers. 

Matt Halsall’s slick, darkly funny short turns that obsession into an increasingly unhinged psychological thriller. 

IDOLS made its world premiere at Fantasia before being selected for Sitges, Beyond Fest and Tokyo’s Yami International Film Festival.
