Disregarded and neglected by his family, executive toy manufacturer Clifford Groves (Fred MacMurray) is unexpectedly reunited with his former co-worker Norma Miller (Barbara Stanwyck). As the old friends catch up on lost time, his children's suspicions and hostility to the new relationship threaten to push their father away permanently and throw into disarray the lives of all concerned.
Originally shown on BBC1 in 1974 and rarely seen since, "Penda's Fen" has become the stuff of legend, its name invoking the spirit of a time when television had the power to provoke and astound. Exploring themes of personal and national identity, language, history and industrial progress, this unclassifiable drama boldly weaves its exquisite, fantastical imagery with the rousing music of Elgar to tell a tale of ancient legends and sexual awakening which stands as one of British television's greatest ever achievements.
Thai director Anocha Suwichakornpong's ethereal Mundane History has been widely praised as one of the most startling and original feature film debuts of recent years. This seemingly ordinary, astutely structured Thai family drama is a film with cosmic aspirations. The story of a paralyzed son, his elusive father and the male nurse hired to take care of the wheelchair-bound patient, it parallels the emotional dynamic of a single home with the tumult of an entire country. Like its dichotomic title, the film gradually expands outwards to morph into a philosophical and hallucinogenic meditation about our place in the universe. Beautiful, strange and as mysterious as life itself.
"Climates" is an existentialist epic that acutely observes a disintegrating relationship with an intense, unflinching eye over the course of three seasons. Acclaimed Turkish filmmaker Nuri Bilge Ceylan writes, directs and stars along with his wife Ebru Ceylan as a couple in pursuit of a happiness that no longer belongs to them. Brilliantly acted and stunningly photographed, 'Climates' is moving, painfully honest and riveting cinema from a masterly director at the height of his powers.
Released in 1971 to critical acclaim and public controversy, Peter Bogdanovich's 'The Last Picture Show' garnered eight Academy Award nominations (including Best Picture) and was hailed by many as the most important work by a young American director since Citizen Kane. A surprisingly frank, bittersweet drama of social and sexual mores in small-town Texas, the film features a talented cast led by Jeff Bridges, Cybill Sheperd and Timothy Bottoms.
In an astounding scientific breakthrough that could shake the world, Oxford PhD student Ana (Yaiza Figueroa) succeeds in creating the world's first artificial wormhole. Eager to explore her discovery further, Ana steps forward to be the first human test subject... The after-effects are severe and fast-hitting. Faced with bizarre memory lapses, a sudden aversion to food and drink, and the recurring appearance of a malevolent masked figure, Ana falls into a dark state of paranoia, fear and confusion. Unable to trust even those closest to her, and aware of her inability to form any new memories, Ana's need for answers grows increasingly desperate: what has happened to her memories, and who - or what - is behind the rising horror in her life.
