LICORICE PIZZA

Paul Thomas Anderson’s sun-bleached Licorice Pizza (2021) follows teenage hustler Gary Valentine (Cooper Hoffman) and 25-year-old Alana Kane (Alana Haim). They drift across 1970s Los Angeles. They stumble through love, ambition, and misadventure—a loose and comedic coming-of-age story to begin with. Gary and Alana’s relationship eventually reveals a tender study of connection. This is set against the Californian dream. Underneath Anderson’s homegrown nostalgia for the city he grew up in, Licorice Pizza evokes the innocence, ambitions, and desires that define being young. Moreover, the film highlights the indelible mark they leave upon us.

Licorice Pizza (Anderson, 2021) – November 28

LET’S EAT!: FOOD AND FILM

This November, Let’s Eat!: Food and Film serves up a global feast exploring the sensory, social, and emotional power of food on screen.

Blending family dramas, comedies, documentaries, and avant-garde experiments, Let’s Eat! transforms the act of cooking and eating into something cinematic, sensual, and deeply human, offering a rich and delectable portrait of how food sustains both our bodies and our stories.

DAVID LYNCH: DELUSIONS AND DREAMS

David Lynch: Delusions and Dreams celebrates the singular vision of the late David Lynch —the beloved filmmaker who blended dreams, beauty, and strangeness, always with profound sincerity —as a means of excavating the mysteries that lie beneath everyday life.

Joining the collection is The Elephant Man (1980), in which Lynch transforms the biopic into something deeply humane. It tells the story of Joseph Merrick (John Hurt), a severely deformed man in Victorian London, who uses his disfigurement to earn a living as the “Elephant Man”. Upon discovering Joseph in a circus sideshow, Dr Treves (Anthony Hopkins) takes a personal interest in him and discovers that beneath his shocking appearance lies a refined soul.

FAKE IT, MAKE IT: TWO BY AMALIA ULMAN

The sharp, deadpan explorations of performance, class, and feminine identity of artist-filmmaker Amalia Ulman are brought together in our Fake It, Make It: Two by Amalia Ulman collection. New to the platform is El Planeta (2011), in which Ulman turns her eye on a mother and daughter grifting their way through post-crisis Spain. The film depicts shoplifting, high glamour, or an impending eviction. Through these, the two bond through their shared despair with disarming whimsy. It is a hilarious but tragic exploration of aspirational class delusion.

El Planeta (Ulman, 2021) – November 1

Magic Farm (Ulman, 2025) – Now Streaming

WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN

In Lynne Ramsay’s unsettling We Need to Talk About Kevin (2011), once-successful writer Eve (Tilda Swinton) has the limits of her motherhood put to the test. This happens after her son Kevin (Ezra Miller) commits an act of unspeakable violence. The relationship was already fraught even before the crime. Eve therefore struggles to reconcile her own ambivalence and guilt with the enormity of Kevin’s actions.

A probing study of maternal guilt and adolescent malevolence, Ramsay boldly explores the generational, emotional, and psychological fractures that shaped Kevin’s path, but not without fleeting moments of intimacy that hint at a complex and hidden humanity beneath his ominous behaviours.

We Need to Talk About Kevin (Ramsay, 2011) – November 1

THE GRADUATE

Forever capturing the restless uncertainty of youth, Mike Nichols’ legendary The Graduate (1967) follows recent college graduate Benjamin Braddock (Dustin Hoffman) adrift in a world of parental expectations and suburban ennui. As a small rebellion, he begins an affair with the older Mrs Robinson (Anne Bancroft), only to find it further questioning his beliefs about the world he’s trying to escape.

The Graduate (Nichols, 1967) – November 1

THE NEST

A sharp satire on social climbing. It is a biting exposition on the moral compromises that entering high society demands. Sean Durkin’s The Nest (2020) charts Rory O’Hara’s (Jude Law) relocation of his family from the American suburbs to a sprawling English manor. They pursue wealth and status. Tension simmers as Rory’s ambitions clash with the household’s needs. This is particularly seen in his perceptive wife, Allison (Carrie Coon), and their children. Their growing resentments quietly escalate…

The Nest (Durkin, 2020) – November 5

BABYTEETH

Shannon Murphy’s Babyteeth (2019) follows Milla, a teenage cancer patient whose life is upended when she meets Moses, a slightly older drug dealer. Their improbable bond becomes a lifeline to Milla, giving her reason to keep going at the behest of her overly protective parents. Set in the sun-drenched Australian suburbs, Milla’s occasional moments of rebellion against her humdrum trapping empathise with her desperate need to confront mortality, and the fleeting moments of joy that doing it provides.

Babyteeth (Murphy, 2019) – November 21

THE LONELIEST PLANET

Julia Loktev’s The Loneliest Planet (2011) traces a young couple, Alex (Gael García Bernal) and Nica (Hani Furstenberg), as they backpack through Eastern Europe. After arriving in Georgia, they hire local guide Dato (Bidzina Gujabidze), who takes them across the rocky Caucasus mountains. As they navigate both the landscape and each other, a moment of near-disaster changes everything the couple believes about themselves.

The Loneliest Planet (Loktev, 2011) – November 17

HOUSE BY THE RIVER

In Fritz Lang’s sinister House by the River (1950), writer Stephen Byrne convinces his brother to help dispose of the body of Emily, a maid he has accidentally killed. As the corpse floats in the river outside his home, Stephen’s sense of moral certainty begins to crumble, echoed in the pages of his own writing.

House by the River (Lang, 1950) – November 19

13 TZAMETI

In Géla Babluani’s 13 Tzameti (2005), financially strapped roofer Sebastien takes a mysterious job. Only to discover he has been drawn into a deadly game of Russian Roulette with wealthy gamblers. Through its tense and claustrophobic stylistic flair, Babluani drags the viewer viscerally into Sebastien’s perilous journey.

13 Tzameti (Babluani, 2005) – November 19
