Wicker

Alex Huston Fischer and Eleanor Wilson’s wonderfully eccentric fable is, at its core, a gentle love story starring Olivia Colman, Alexander Skarsgård and Peter Dinklage. On the outskirts of a village by the sea, lives a Fisherwoman; smelly, single and perpetually ridiculed. One day, fed up with her stuffy, small-minded neighbours, she commissions herself a husband to be made from wicker. In an otherwise conservative town, this unconventional romance sparks outrage, jealousy and chaos.

Fjord

This searching, Palme d’Or-winning moral dilemma pits preaching conservative Christian parents against a holier-than-thou liberal system. An evangelical family move to a small Norwegian town. Their seemingly placid adjustment is shattered when suspicions around their children’s wellbeing place the parents under severe scrutiny. Cristian Mungiu ( 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days ) masterfully crafts an ambivalent social drama that raises fundamental questions and avoids easy answers, asking us to ponder how unbiased our own sense of empathy is.

Cinema Rediscovered: Obsession

Edward Dmytryk brought his experience making US noirs to UK shores, resulting in an astonishingly dark and unsettling picture. Robert Newton stars as a psychiatrist who discovers his wife is having an affair. He resolves to take revenge by kidnapping and murdering her lover and then dissolving his corpse in a bath of acid. One of the Hollywood Ten, famously blacklisted for refusing to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee, Edward Dmytryk spent his exile in England, where he made extraordinary features, including Obsession . Written by Alec Coppel, who would later co-write Vertigo , and scored by the great Italian composer Nino Rota ( 8½ , The Godfather ), Obsession ’s release was originally delayed due to the ongoing court case of the real-life ‘Acid Bath Murderer’, John Haigh.
