A Talent for Murder
A mysterious young man from a New York publisher is sent to Switzerland to persuade the renowned writer Patricia Highsmith to write one final instalment of the Ripley anthology. It is 1995, and American author Highsmith (Helen Mirren), now in her seventies and in poor health, has retired to the Swiss Alps, where she largely confines herself to her study, surrounded by her books, her cats, and her collection of antique weapons. Enter Edward Ridgeway (Alden Ehrenreich), emissary for a New York publisher sent to persuade Highsmith to craft one last instalment in her bestselling series of mysteries featuring the murderous antihero, Tom Ripley. Irritated by this youthful, overly eager visitor, Highsmith refuses the offer — unless, that is, Ridgeway can dream up the perfect murder along with her. Directed by Anton Corbijn ( Control ) and adapted by Joanna Murray-Smith from her play Switzerland , A Talent For Murder pits ruthless careerism against dark genius in a slippery battle of wills.

Minotaur
Andrey Zvyagintsev transposes Claude Chabrol’s La Femme infidèle to contemporary Russia, delivering a magnificent political allegory that dissects the mechanics of ego, violence and corruption. At the onset of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Gleb (Dmitriy Mazurov), a powerful CEO, is preoccupied with feeding the war machine with workers, when he learns of his wife’s (Iris Lebedeva) infidelity. Faced with this discovery and a complex professional decision, his scruples quickly fade. Zvyagintsev’s ( Loveless ) masterful and darkly humorous tale of impunity will make your blood run cold.
