August 23, 2024 #96 Wicked Little Letters
Based on a true scandal, Wicked Little Letters follows the investigation into an anonymous author sending a series of crude messages to the residents of a quaint seaside town of Littlehampton. Set in the 1920s at the height of the Suffragette Movement, the film pushes the boundaries of 'acceptable language'. Jonny Sweet's writing and Thea Sharrock's direction dance together in this seemingly 'British' comedy. Check out the latest review.

July 31, 2024 #93 The Bikeriders
The Bikeriders draws on material from Danny Lyon's photo-book - it tells the story of The Vandals Motorcycle Club, a fictional version of the Outlaws Motorcycle Club, that came out of Illinois in the 1930s. Jeff Nichols' direction focuses on what it means to be part of a community, what it means to be a man, and how these are culturally constructed. Check out the latest review!

July 25, 2024 #92 Kinds of Kindness
Kinds of Kindness explores patriarchal power, constructs of the self, and what it means to love. Kinds of Kindness is a bizarre exploration of human desire - Yorgos Lanthimos isn't kind to the viewer with this cinematic triptych. We were left wanting some more kindness. Check out the latest review to see what we thought!

June 14, 2024 #91 The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar
Wes Anderson's latest adaptation of a Roald Dahl anthology is a meditation on how we make sense of what we see, beyond what’s immediately visible. Henry Sugar is a bachelor who discovers a medical journal about a man who can see without his eyes. It suggests that reality can be something that is felt and thought rather than literally ‘seen’. Phantasmagorical in nature, as always Anderson's picture is a masterclass in set design, laden with quirky intricacies. A toast to Henry Sugar and what can - and can't - be seen, only imagined.

Brian De Palma’s 1983 ‘classic’, Scarface, tells the story of Tony Montana, a Cuban political refugee escaping Castro’s communist regime. He seeks political asylum in Miami and becomes a powerful drug lord. His success is short-lived, however, when his regime is toppled by his own hubris. 1980s masculinity is in full show here!

April 08, 2024 #89 American Fiction
Cord Jefferson’s directorial debut, American Fiction, follows the story of writer Thelonius ‘Monk’ Ellison - he’s disillusioned with how black Americans are portrayed through literature. He decides to write a satirical ‘black’ book to highlight the essentialism of race politics. A comment on race, narrative, and history, this sees Jeffrey Wright give a stunning performance, challenging the zeitgeist of race politics.

March 15, 2024 A Conversation With Neil Jeram-Croft (Festival Director at Manchester Film Festival)
In conversation with Marcus in the latest episode is Festival Director at Manchester Film Festival, Neil Jeram-Croft.

The 10th edition of the film festival begins on the 15th March running until 24th March 2024. Neil very kindly sat down with Marcus to share stories about how he started the festival a decade ago, what attendees can expect from the festival and what drives him and the team to keep growing the festival that is now such a big part of the UK film scene.

Film festivals are integral to the film industry so hearing from someone at the heart of the festival scene is a real insight. We're big believers in bringing people together around film and film festivals are absolutely the place to do this. So hearing from Neil and the reasons why film drives him so much is yet another reason to get out there and get involved with a festival like Manchester.

March 11, 2024 #88 The Zone of Interest
Jonathan Glazer's latest film, The Zone of Interest, is a powerful reflection on genocide in 1940s Europe. Combining Kubrick-esque cinematography with documentary-style precision, Glazer's film speaks to the present as a warning, that humans have historically and are presently, complicit in mass genocide. Silence is not an option. It pushes us to think about the weight of history and how it rests on our present - a powerful and solemn contribution to Holocaust study. Check out the latest review.
