From acclaimed writer/director Todd Phillips comes Joker: Folie À Deux, the much-anticipated follow-up to 2019’s Academy Award-winning Joker. The new film stars Joaquin Phoenix once again in his Oscar-winning dual role as Arthur Fleck/Joker, opposite Oscar winner Lady Gaga (A Star Is Born).

Joker: Folie À Deux finds Arthur Fleck institutionalized at Arkham awaiting trial for his crimes as Joker. While struggling with his dual identity, Arthur not only stumbles upon true love, but also finds the music that's always been inside him.

The film also stars Oscar nominees Brendan Gleeson (The Banshees of Inisherin) and Catherine Keener (Get Out), alongside Zazie Beetz, reprising her role from Joker.

As both an award-winning film and a box office smash, Joker changed the face of the comic book movie, with a focus on character over action. With Joker: Folie À Deux, the incorporation of musical elements and the casting of pop music legend Lady Gaga is sure to make this an unmissable new entry into the genre in its own right.

Sprechen music presents a new way of seeing F. W. Murnau’s silent horror classic Nosferatu with a reimagined sound-track mixed live by Chris Massey and Richie V featuring music by the likes of Teeth Of The Sea, Tangerine Dream, Ambienti Coassiali, Fuck Buttons, Sunno & Boris, Prins Thomas, Cristobal Tapia De Veer, Pendle Coven, Carlton Melton, Ulver, Claudio Simonetti & more…

"The original Dracula movie and still, after 100 years, the scariest. If the film is not called ‘Dracula’, that is simply because Murnau and his screenwriter, Henrik Galeen, having failed to obtain the rights to Bram Stoker’s novel from his widow, calmly pinched the whole plot and changed the characters’ names. The resultant lawsuit rumbled on for years.

"Still, this piece of sharp practice can perhaps be forgiven, since it resulted in one of the greatest horror movies, not just of the silent screen, but of all time. The special effects, of course, have long since been surpassed, the dialogue is often stilted, and some of the acting especially Gustav von Wangenheim as the naïve young hero, Hutter – is hammy in the extreme. But none of this matters in the face of what makes this a masterpiece: Murnau’s visionary direction and the chilling performance of Max Schreck in the title role… Filming largely on location, Murnau creates an eerie sense of unnatural forces penetrating the natural world; the uncanny is all the more terrifying for appearing in everyday surroundings… The Nosferatu of Max Schreck is unforgettably grotesque from his very first appearance… Tall, cadaverous, bald, bat-eared and rabbit-toothed, he moves with short jerky steps, taloned hands close to his sides, as if still holding the shape of his daytime coffin."

Jodie Comer’s (Killing Eve) Olivier and Tony Award-winning performance in Suzie Miller’s gripping one-woman play returns to cinemas.

Tessa is a young, brilliant barrister. She has worked her way up from working class origins to be at the top of her game; defending; cross examining and winning. An unexpected event forces her to confront the lines where the patriarchal power of the law, burden of proof and morals diverge.

Prima Facie takes us to the heart of where emotion and experience collide with the rules of the game.

Justin Martin directs this solo tour de force, captured live in 2022 during a sold out run at the Harold Pinter Theatre in London’s West End.

Prima Facie was originally released in 2022 and broke multiple box office records to become the most watched NT Live of all time. We’re thrilled to be able to share Jodie Comer’s multi award-winning performance with audiences again.

200 years after its opening and a century after acquiring its first Van Gogh works, the National Gallery is hosting the UK’s biggest ever Van Gogh exhibition. Van Gogh is not only one of the most beloved artists of all time, but perhaps the most misunderstood. This film is a chance to reexamine and better understand this iconic artist. Focusing on his unique creative process, Van Gogh: Poets & Lovers explores the artist’s years in the south of France, where he revolutionised his style. Van Gogh became consumed with a passion for storytelling in his art, turning the world around him into vibrant, idealised spaces and symbolic characters. Poets and lovers filled his imagination; everything he did in the south of France served this new obsession. In part, this is what caused his notorious breakdown, but it didn’t hold back his creativity as he created masterpiece after masterpiece. Explore one of art history’s most pivotal periods in this once-in-a-century show. Made in close collaboration with the National Gallery.

In Tudor England, Katherine Parr reluctantly agrees to become the sixth wife of the tyrannical King Henry VIII. Her consent to marry him carries great personal risk, given her predecessors are either vanquished, beheaded or dead.

The third film in the series follows Paddington and the Brown family as they visit Aunt Lucy in Peru, but a mystery sends them to the Amazon rainforest and up Peruvian mountains.

Oscar winner Cillian Murphy delivers a stunning performance as devoted father Bill Furlong in this film based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Claire Keegan. While working as a coal merchant to support his family, he discovers disturbing secrets kept by the local convent — and uncovers truths of his own — forcing him to confront his past and the complicit silence of a small Irish town controlled by the Catholic Church.

Director Q&A with Erik Knudsen

Three young Brits have been hired by Mr Goodwin, an owner of a remote Greek island, to refurbish an old house. A surprise unsolicited visit to the island by a young Greek couple creates a rift. The consequences will be far reaching.

Ingrid (Julianne Moore) and Martha (Tilda Swinton) are two old friends having worked at the same trendy New York magazine in their youth. Having lost touch, Ingrid is now an established novelist and Martha, a war journalist, are brought back together when Martha, suffering from cervical cancer asks Ingrid to be by her side at the end.

Compelled to Martha’s side, Ingrid begins to reconnect with her through their reflection of their missed years together and their relationship with their shared ex (played by John Turturro). Their bond forms whilst recalling Martha’s fractured relationships with her daughter and her experiences as a war journalist. Seeking companionship and comfort from an old friend at the end of her life and looking to escape the agony of the final days of terminal cancer, Martha asks Ingrid to be with her when she takes a euthanasia pill, ending her suffering.

Agnes repeatedly falls for the wrong guy, dies a grim death, gets reincarnated a century later, before meeting him again and starting the cycle anew. It is one story told over many periods, all with the messy thrills and spills that come with daring to follow your heart. Or maybe your loins... Agnes’ only hope in avoiding this violent fate is by finally reaching spiritual enlightenment; but how can she ever wise up when she’s destined to be a fool for love? Some lessons are just too hard to learn in one lifetime.

The sophomore feature from Prevenge director and Sightseers star Alice Lowe is an inventive historical-romantic-comedy-adventure with a unique point of view.

“Somewhere between Monty Python and Sally Potter’s Orlando (1992), Timestalker is above all else distinctly Loweian, and consolidates the filmmakers place as one of the most dazzling and exciting British filmmakers working in the indie genre space today.” – Alexandra Heller-Nicholas

Film Synopsis;

PADDINGTON IN PERU brings Paddington's story back to Peru, as he, and the Browns, visit his beloved Aunt Lucy. A thrilling adventure ensues when a mystery plunges them into an unexpected journey through the Amazon and beyond.

In Venom: The Last Dance, Tom Hardy returns as Venom, one of Marvel's greatest and most complex characters, for the final film in the trilogy. Eddie and Venom are on the run. Hunted by both of their worlds and with the net closing in, the duo are forced into a devastating decision that will bring the curtains down on Venom and Eddie's last dance.

Director Duncan Cowles takes us on a journey through male mental health, stigma and taboo in the UK.

Part road trip, part coming-of-middle-age tale, Cowles’ laconic humour and frank approach to his subject proves effective in exploring aspects of masculinity that all too often are little discussed. Admitting that he is not always open and intimate in his conversations with loved ones, the BAFTA-winning Scottish filmmaker sets out to define masculinity in the modern age – what makes men tick and, more importantly, coming to terms with all aspects of health, both physical and mental. The questions asked in Silent Men may seem simple, but their answers betray underlying tensions, as Cowles’ subjects make all too clear. The film grapples with being able to express oneself as a man – to become someone at peace with themselves, their life and the ones they love.

Content Guidance: Film contains discussions about suicide.

From legendary director Ridley Scott, Gladiator II continues the epic saga of power, intrigue, and vengeance set in Ancient Rome. Years after witnessing the death of the revered hero Maximus at the hands of his uncle, Lucius (Paul Mescal) is forced to enter the Colosseum after his home is conquered by the tyrannical Emperors who now lead Rome with an iron fist. With rage in his heart and the future of the Empire at stake, Lucius must look to his past to find strength and honor to return the glory of Rome to its people.

TRANSFORMERS ONE is the untold origin story of Optimus Prime and Megatron, better known as sworn enemies, but once were friends bonded like brothers who changed the fate of Cybertron forever.

Young Bailey feels caged in her Gravesend squat home.

Reckless, wannabe drug dealer dad Bug plans to marry his new girlfriend.

Older brother Hunter plots to elope with his underage partner.

Meanwhile, across town, Bailey’s near-feral younger siblings are menaced by her mum’s new and violent lover. Small wonder she’s intrigued by the enigmatic Bird, a flighty free spirit searching for his own roots. Arnold once again displays her wondrous ability to infuse coming-of-age stories focused on marginalized lives with uncompromising grit and a sensual connection to nature.

The pulsating soundtrack and lived-in performances (newcomer Adams is a standout) are perhaps expected. But Bird also sees Arnold pushing in new directions, incorporating not just social, but magical realism – an unexpectedly transformative addition that helps her wild, shapeshifting film soar.

The untold origin story of Optimus Prime and Megatron, better known as sworn enemies, but who once were friends bonded like brothers who changed the fate of Cybertron forever.

Fright Night presents Broken Bird + Director Q&A

Directed by Joanne Mitchell.

Joanne has skilfully turned her 2018 award-winning short SYBIL (original story Tracey Sheals) into a rich, absorbing and disturbing tale about a quiet soul in emotional turmoil. Sybil Chamberlain works as a professional mortician at a funeral parlour. She has spent her life looking for love. Brought up as a privileged, carefree child, at the age of ten, she lost everything in a tragic accident. A darkness fell over her as the bright lights of her life were snuffed out swiftly and cruelly. Now, an emptiness, an aching loneliness prevails, a gloomy void she seeks to fill. Reality and reason are slipping away from Sybil, and her dark desires are becoming more insatiable and progressively out of control. Will she ever find happiness and contentment, especially as the company she keeps is mainly deceased?

Rebecca Calder masterfully portrays Sybil in a riveting, nuanced interpretation of the complex character’s quirky, unsettling behaviour. See how Joanne Mitchell has honed her craft as a horror storyteller, capturing all and maintaining a firm grip on performance, story, and style to deliver the most beautifully creepy rendition of a tormented mind spiralling into a vortex of madness.

In the face of nightly air raids, East End mum Rita (yet another impressive turn by Saoirse Ronan) grows increasingly worried about her son George’s safety. Under the counsel of her father, Gerald (Paul Weller), she makes the heart-wrenching decision to send him to the countryside. But a few hours into his journey, George alights the train, determined to return to Stepney Green and his family. Friends and foes stalk London’s streets, but each encounter populates George’s map of his world, giving him an understanding of how his fellow citizens are affected by these tumultuous times.

McQueen’s incredible ensemble cast includes Kathy Burke, Benjamin Clémentine, Harris Dickinson and Stephen Graham. They inhabit a war-torn London that’s impeccably realised by Adam Stockhausen’s (12 Years a Slave, Asteroid City) production design and Yorick Le Saux’s (A Bigger Splash, Irma Vep) cinematography, while Hans Zimmer’s score revels in the scale and intimacy of the director’s vision. But the film’s trump card is newcomer Elliott Heffernan, who captures George’s emotional strength, impish humour and sense of loyalty to his family with a wisdom beyond his years. Through him, McQueen’s Blitz represents one of the finest portrayals of life in a moment of crisis, perseverance and renewal.

This Christmas, be transported into an ethereal world where a sprinkling of fairy dust makes dreams come true.

From director Edward Berger (All Quiet on the Western Front), Conclave follows one of the world’s most secretive and ancient events – selecting a new Pope.

Discover the enchantment of ballet with this sparkling festive treat for the whole family. Julia Trevelyan Oman’s period designs bring festive charm to the production.

The film follows the misadventures of Jack Skellington, Halloweentown's beloved pumpkin king, who has become bored with the same annual routine of frightening people in the "real world." When Jack accidentally stumbles on Christmastown, all bright colors and warm spirits, he gets a new lease on life -- he plots to bring Christmas under his control by kidnapping Santa Claus and taking over the role. But Jack soon discovers even the best-laid plans of mice and skeleton men can go seriously awry.

The granddaddy of a whole genre of action films still remains sharp, tough, and exciting. Die Hard spawned its own franchise and influenced other action movies. Few of the spin-offs were able to match the sublime blend of ironic humour and suspense of the original.

It's the classic plot hook of one man against many, right against wrong. But Die Hard is more layered than your average action movie. The bickering newscasters, the friendly patrol cop whose career is slipping by, the chauffeur driver who remains oblivious to the calamity around him. These are all nicely crafted characters that lend a little depth and warmth to a violent film.

Buddy vows to visit Manhattan and find his real dad (James Caan), but doesn't expect to find love in the form of a department store employee (Zooey Deschanel).

All of this happens and the result is a gang of gremlins that decide to tear up the town on Christmas Eve.

Madcap family holiday classic from John Hughes starring Macaulay Culkin as Kevin, an eight-year-old who is accidentally left behind when the rest of his family fly off to Paris for the Christmas break.

Together, they work to save a Vermont inn from closing. Co-stars Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney and Vera Ellen.

Jim Henson's Muppets tell their version of Charles Dickens' tale of the bitter Scrooge (Michael Caine) and his redemption on Christmas Eve.

Rom-com mega-movie, from the director of Notting Hill and Bridget Jones's Diary with an all-star cast including Liam Neeson, Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson, Colin Firth and Keira Knightley.

Ten tales exploring the ups and downs of relationships in the weeks building up to Christmas make up Love Actually - boyfriends & girlfriends, husbands & wives, fathers and sons and rock stars & managers all combine.
