Wicker

Queen's Film Theatre · South Belfast · Film
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.

Outburst: Dry Ground Burning

Queen's Film Theatre · South Belfast · Film · LGBTQ+ · Outburst Festival
Dry Ground Burning by directors Joana Pimenta and Adirley Queirós ( Once There Was Brasilia ) is a brilliantly provocative portrait of Brazil’s dystopian moment under Bolsonaro. Blending documentary with narrative fiction and gangster genre elements, it offers a unique vision of the country’s possible future and of cinema itself as a radical means of resistance. Just released from prison, Léa (Léa Alves Silva) returns home to the Brasilia favela of Sol Nascente and joins up with her half-sister Chitara (Joana Darc Furtado), the fearless leader of an all-female gang that steals and refines oil from underground pipes and sells gasoline to a clandestine network of motorcyclists. Living in constant opposition to Jair Bolsonaro’s fiercely authoritarian and militarised government, Chitara’s women claim the streets for themselves as a declaration of radical political resistance.

Wild Horse Nine

Queen's Film Theatre · South Belfast · Film
Martin McDonagh returns with another tragi-comic two-hander with a razor-sharp script and outstanding performances from a stellar cast. After the success of The Banshees of Inisherin , McDonagh has turned his attention to Chile in the 1970s, where two CIA men discuss morality and mortality during a dispatch to the vanishingly remote and metaphorically rich Easter Island. With John Malkovich as the ailing Chris, mentor to Sam Rockwell’s Lee, and idiosyncratic support from Steve Buscemi, Parker Posey and Tom Waits, the film is an accidental allegory for present-day politics with trademark bittersweet notes, sweeping landscapes and strategically-placed horses.
