Luca Guadagnino returns to the cinema following the roaring success of Challengers with an adaptation of William Burroughs' auto-fictional experimental novel of love in the age of intensely felt internalised homophobia, Queer. Beyond the film continuing the trend for gorgeously dirty white linen suits on film, Queer is a masterful, impressionistic exploration of living in bodies and with desires that are tangled up with socially shaped self-loathing and the loneliness that follows from fear. There is so much to unfold!

Director Bong Joon Ho returns to Anglophone cinema with the satirical sci-fi Black comedy Mickey 17. Robert Pattinson stars as Mickey, a down-on-his-luck earthling who tries to escape his trouble by signing up for a space voyage as an "expendable", i.e., a person who can die over and over again because they have his data on file. So, what does this tonally peculiar film have to say about the world we live in today?

10 years after changing the world of documentary cinema with "The Act of Killing" and "The Look of Silence", director Joshua Oppenheimer returns to our screens with a post-apocalyptic musical. "The End" is a film about the lies we tell ourselves, the destruction these cause, and the love and hope that such lies deny us.

So it’s time to talk about “Babygirl” from director Halina Reijn, a tale of a married tech CEO who’s never had an orgasm with her husband, engaging in an illicit sub/Dom affair with her magically empathetic intern. It’s a film that raises questions about identity, control, fantasy, desire, love and power which are very much of the moment. But what is it really about?

He's coming! And by "he" we mean Robert Eggers' reimagining of the sublime Dracula copyright dodge, "Nosferatu". Eggers' telling centres on Ellen, the character who in previous versions has been the object of the Vampyr, Orlok's, appetite. But Eggers' version poses the question that she might be the subject who summoned him to satisfy her own. But can this smoothed version of Eggers' auteurship in pursuit of a popcorn hit adequately grapple with such a troubling idea?

On this episode of Projector Pod, Ebba and Macon talk about Sean Baker's new film "Anora", the story of Ani, a sex worker from Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, who winds up a pragmatic/maybe romantic marriage with the fail-son of a Russian oligarch. In the boy's family's attempts to clean this up, Ani has to make sure she gets what she is owed from people who'd rather pretend she doesn't exist.
