January 23, 2023 #60 Empire Of Light
The mechanics of cinema have the ability to heal trauma. That's what we're meant to think in Sam Mendes' latest picture, Empire of Light. Set in 1980s Margate, we see Hilary and Stephen, two people carrying very different traumas on their shoulders - patriarchy, racial violence, misogyny. The place where this seems to melt away is the cinema space. Can cinema really have the power to heal? Check out our latest take!

January 16, 2023 #59 Memento
Memento bends narrative and complicates the idea of memory. Who forms narrative and how do you come to terms with your own narrative? Leanord Shelby, who suffers from amnesia, is trying to identify who attacked him and who killed his wife. The film captures the mechanics of trying to remember when one's memory is fragmented. A mind-bending project for Nolan!

January 06, 2023 #58 There Will Be Blood
Paul Thomas Anderson's 2007 epic captures a moment in American history that continues to dominate our economic landscape today: the formation and birth of capitalism. Set during the Californian oil boom in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, it follows the life of Daniel Plainview - an oil baron - who discovers oil just outside of Los Angeles. The new American frontier is now one that is driven by the promise of eternal wealth. Bathed in oil, literally and metaphorically, oil is the very thing that creates Plainview, but it could also be the very thing that destroys him.

December 30, 2022 #57 Pinocchio
In 1883 Carlo Collodi published 'The Adventures of Pinocchio' - a coming of age Italian novel about a woodcarver and his marionette puppet. Guillermo del Toro's adaptation is set against the backdrop of Mussolini's Italy - a world where coming of age in a time of mass manipulation could be quite challenging. Del Toro's story is about loss, youth, age, and the meaning of life. Littered with del Toro's signature fantasy gothic, this one had us grappling with all sorts of themes.

December 09, 2022 #56 Rushmore
Wes Anderson's tale about an eccentric teenager at Houston's Rushmore Academy is a fantastic watch. Max Fischer's obsession with his teacher Rosemary Cross, and his love for extra-curricular activities encapsulate an almost idealistic, possibly broken American Dream. This one goes down in the Glacé archives - what a tale!

November 25, 2022 #55 The Banshees of Inisherin
The Banshees of Inisherin is a tale of a fragmented and decaying friendship. Set on a bleak fictional island against the backdrop of the Irish Civil War, Martin McDonagh's latest film captures the dark and complicated relationship between memory and friendship. You'll laugh, you may cry, and it might just even make you think what living is actually all about.

October 10, 2022 #53 Everything Everywhere All At Once
Everything Everywhere All at Once was described by the New York Times as a 'swirl of genre anarchy'. Pinned as the 'anti-Marvel' this movie bends time and makes you think about how your life can be reimagined. How you ask? Through a multiverse bagel. Yes. Sounds absurd? That's what this movie is - absurd. Through the absurdity there is also humour and redemption.

September 21, 2022 #52 Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain
Roadrunner is a reflection on the late Anthony Bourdain - chef, traveller, documentarian. Bourdain came to 'public attention' after the publication of his memoir 'Kitchen Confidential'. The documentary tracks his life from the publication of Confidential through to his suicide in 2018 - the film reflects on who is he was, his impact as a traveller, and how time can reshape how one is remembered. This was a particularly solemn one for us.
