Return to Seoul (15)

March 7 @ 8:00 PM 10:00 PM

An absorbing and emotional film about adoption, loneliness, a search for identity and the meaning of existence. A 25 year-old French woman returns to Korea, where she was born before being adopted by a French couple, to try to track down her biological parents. During the search, set over an 8 year period, she meets her birth father, moves to Korea, emotionally misuses those who want to get close and begins to discover some aspects of her birth mother, which lead her to question where some of her own cruel behaviours come from. The film explores what makes us who we are, how much is upbringing, how much is genetic? It is sad and yet gripping storytelling.

(2022). 119 mins. English subtitles. Director David Chou. Korean

Saint Maud (15)

February 1 @ 8:00 PM 9:30 PM

In her directorial debut Rose Glass has created a very well-crafted horror film;  a psychodrama with astute character observation and strong performances by Morfydd Clark and Jennifer Anne Ehle. The film earned a record seventeen nominations at the British Independent Film Awards 2020. Film critic Mark Kermode listed it as his favourite film of 2020, calling it an “electrifying debut”.

At its centre is a troubled young woman, Katie. She is a palliative nurse. We learn something of her own past trauma and find a woman who believes she is guided by God to save her clients’ soul.

(2019) 84 mins. Horror, This film contains sexual and violent scenes. English. Director Rose Glass.

Licorice Pizza (15)

December 7, 2023 @ 8:00 PM 10:15 PM

With audacity and insight, the filmmaker fuses a comedic romp of romance and self-discovery with a sharp debunking of classic Hollywood myths and heroes.

Set in the San Fernando Valley in the 1970’s it is a partly autobiographical , pugnaciously romantic coming of age story for a teenage actor and a hectic trip of self-discovery for a twentysomething dreamer.

Director Paul Thomas Anderson. (2021).
