Relay
Lily James and Oscar winner Riz Ahmed star in this cleverly crafted high-concept thriller, reminiscent of classics like "Klute" and "The Conversation," directed by David Mackenzie (Hell or High Water).

He maintains his anonymity through meticulous planning, strictly adhering to a detailed set of rules. However, when a potential client (Lily James) reaches out, needing his protection to stay alive, the rules begin to change dramatically.
Written by Justin Piasecki, "Relay" is filled with ingenious misdirection, innovative set pieces, and jaw-dropping twists that would impress even Alfred Hitchcock. At its core is a protagonist who has built a life in the shadows but is now faced with a situation that may force him to step into the light.

Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse
One of the best making-of documentaries of all time is now restored and coming to the big screen.
In the late 1970s, famous director Francis Ford Coppola, known for movies like "The Godfather" and "The Conversation," started working on "Apocalypse Now" in the jungles of the Philippines with his cast, crew, and family.

Art House Classics: PlayTime
Regarded by many as Jacques Tati’s masterpiece, “PlayTime” is a gloriously choreographed, nearly wordless comedy that explores confusion in an age of high technology. This film represents the pinnacle of Tati’s work.
For this monumental achievement, which took nearly three years and a significant budget to produce, Tati once again placed the lovable, clumsy Monsieur Hulot alongside a host of other lost souls in a baffling modern world—this time, Paris. With every inch of its superwide frame filled with hilarity and creativity, “PlayTime” serves as a lasting record of a modern era teetering on the edge of oblivion.
Tati’s works, particularly “PlayTime,” have had a profound influence on modern filmmaking. Its visual style, use of space, and exploration of the absurdities of contemporary life have impacted filmmakers like Wes Anderson and television shows like “Severance,” which explicitly pays homage to the film.
It’s a must-see for all fans of cinema, satire, and comedy.

Spectacle: La Haine
Mathieu Kassovitz took the film world by storm with La haine, a gritty, unsettling, and visually explosive look at the racial and cultural volatility in modern-day France, specifically the low-income banlieue districts on Paris’s outskirts. Aimlessly passing their days in the concrete environs of their dead-end suburbia, Vinz (Vincent Cassel), Hubert (Hubert Koundé), and Saïd (Saïd Taghmaoui)—a Jew, an African, and an Arab—give human faces to France’s immigrant populations, their bristling resentment at their marginalization slowly simmering until it reaches a climactic boiling point. A work of tough beauty, La haine is a landmark of contemporary French cinema and a gripping reflection of its country’s ongoing identity crisis.
