It’s the 90’s, and teenagers Jamie and Ste are living next door in working-class South London. Jamie is being bullied at school, and Ste is being bullied at home by his violent father and brother.

One night, when his home life all gets a little too much to take, Ste seeks refuge at Jamie’s, and, sharing a bed, they strike up a new, and unprecedented relationship.

Together, the boys come to terms with their sexuality and navigate through their new-found frightening feelings with the help of their rebellious and brassy friend Leah, and Jamie’s mother Sandra’s, protective and emotional support.

“Beautiful Thing offers a razor-sharp depiction of life and love on a post-war council estate, and a gloriously nostalgic trip back to the early nineties. Coronation Street writer Jonathan Harvey is at his insightful and hilarious best in this iconic story, which shows how community can lift you out of isolation and suffering.”

London, 1934. Jimmy Erskine (McKellen) is the most feared theatre critic of the age. He lives as flamboyantly as he writes and takes pleasure in savagely taking down any actor who fails to meet his standards.

When the owner of the Daily Chronicle newspaper dies, and his son David Brooke (Strong) takes over, Jimmy quickly finds himself at odds with his new boss and his position under threat.

In an attempt to preserve the power and influence he holds so sacred, Jimmy strikes a faustian pact with struggling actress Nina Land (Arterton), entangling them and Brooke in a thrilling but deadly web of desire, blackmail and betrayal.

Cast: Gemma Arterton, Matthew Cottle, Alfred Enoch, Ed Madden, Ian McKellen, Mark Strong and Leslie Manville

In the near future where emotions have become a threat, Gabrielle finally decides to purify her DNA in a machine that will immerse her in her past lives and rid her of any strong feelings. She then meets Louis and feels a powerful connection, as if she had known him forever.

The Beast is set in three eras in which our hero and heroine are reincarnated – or exist in parallel realities.  In 2044, artificial intelligence controls every aspect of life, and emotions are seen as disruptive. Gabrielle (Seydoux) undergoes a procedure to eliminate emotional pain caused by past-life connections. The narrative unfolds across three timelines, where Gabrielle repeatedly encounters different incarnations of Louis (MacKay). In Belle Époque Paris, he is a passionate suitor; in modern Los Angeles, he becomes a violent avenger. Their lives intertwine in haunting and mysterious ways, raising questions about fate, connection, and whether their love can overcome cycles of suffering.

Inspired by Henry James's novella The Beast in the Jungle, the film delivers a visually stunning and emotionally resonant experience.

Director(s): Bertrand Bonello   Runtime: 146   Cast: Léa Seydoux
