Having not read much around the film but always interested in a gritty hostage thriller, I had a strange sense of Déjà vu when starting out Gus Van Sant’s latest drama.
It’s the little things in life that matter in Jonathan Hawes wonderful short film, Sorry We’re Closed. Jacob and Olivia (Michael Muyunda and Jemma Bentley) are a bored couple, sitting at home, silently dissatisfied with their jobs, their social lives, and the lack of spontaneity in their relationship.
Kleber Mendonça Filho transports viewers into a tropical thriller in “The Secret Agent,” using expressionistic cinematography and satire to paint a picture of the corrupt political landscape of its time.
Derby's rather excellent Darkness In The Fields Film Festival returns for 2026 promising another full day of folky horro scares featuring new films and filmmakers.
