2024 | Dir Pablo Larraín | 124m | Italy | Germany
Stars: Angelina Jolie, Pierfrancesco Favino, Alba Rohrwacher

Closing Pablo Larraín’s trilogy of stylised biopics of 20th century icons, we see Angelina Jolie taking on the role of opera singer Maria Callas. Jolie shines as the fading Callas, who is determined to perform again after an extended break from the stage in the wake of health problems. However, as she looks back on her life, and the decisions which led to her present situation, the lines between fact and fiction begin to blur.

HAPPY AS LAZZARO (12A) – 2018 Italy 127 mins – Italian with subtitles

Director: Alice Rohrwacher
Stars: Adriano Tardiolo, Alba Rohrwacher, Sergi López

In an isolated valley with few traces of the modern world, a group of farmers eke out a living under the thumb of the local gentry. The simple and kindly Lazzaro helps to keep spirits high until the Marquise’s foolish son stages his own kidnapping, unleashing a chain of events with bizarre and miraculous results. Resolving Lazzaro’s destiny, Rohrwacher crafts an engrossing, richly populated and strikingly photographed fable.

…Rohrwacher paints a magical portrait of the decay of rural life, intertwining the past and the present in a work that is as exhilarating as it is sublime – ★★★★★ Joseph Walsh, Time Out
