The Promised Land

starring Mads Mikkelsen

In 1755, the impoverished war hero Captain Ludvig Kahlen (Mads Mikkelsen) is given the task of building a colony for the King in a vast uninhabitable land. But he soon comes into conflict with the ruler of the territory, the merciless Frederik De Schinkel. When De Schinkel learns that a couple in his employ have escaped and taken refuge with Kahlen, he attempts to drive the captain away. But Kahlen will not waver and nobly takes up the unequal battle - not only risking his life, but also the family of outsiders that have formed around him. Directed by Nikolaj Arcel (The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo).

The Zone of Interest

Winner of both the Grand Prix and the FIPRESCI Prize at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival

Nominated for 5 Academy Awards including Best Picture!

In his chilling, oblique study of evil, British director  Jonathan Glazer (Under the Skin, Sexy Beast) situates the viewer at the center of frighteningly familiar banality. It’s summer in the mid-1940s, and a German family merrily idles by a river. Father Rudolf Höss (Christian Friedel) and mother Hedwig (Sandra Hüller) tuck their kids in bed at night. They entertain family and guests in their vast backyard garden on the weekends. In the mornings, she oversees chores with a cadre of housekeepers and cooks; he goes to work as head Commandant of Auschwitz Concentration Camp. Their domestic life is paradisiacal. Yet over the wall abutting their home, we can see smokestacks, and at night we hear screams and occasional gunshots. Loosely inspired by the 2014 novel of the same name by Martin Amis, Glazer has created a singular, unsettlingly timeless representation of inhumanity and our capacity for indifference in the face of atrocity, filmed and edited with aptly cold precision and punctuated with an ominous score by Mica Levi.

American Fiction

Winner of People's Choice Award at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF)

Nominated for 5 Academy Awards including Best Picture!

American Fiction is Cord Jefferson's hilarious directorial debut, which confronts our culture’s obsession with reducing people to outrageous stereotypes. Jeffrey Wright stars as Monk, a frustrated novelist who’s fed up with the establishment profiting from “Black” entertainment that relies on tired and offensive tropes. To prove his point, Monk uses a pen name to write an outlandish “Black” book of his own, a book that propels him to the heart of hypocrisy and the madness he claims to disdain.
