L’INNOCENT (THE INNOCENT) directed by LOUIS GARREL

This crime-comedy-romance enjoyably focuses on keeping the audience engaged in the story and the characters, emphasising laughs and love over suspense.

Un Certain Regard

METRONOM directed by ALEXANDRU BELC

VANSKABTE LAND / VOLAÐA LAND (GODLAND) directed by HLYNUR PÁLMASON

Godland is set in the late 19th century: a young Danish priest travels to a remote part of Iceland to build a church and photograph its people. But the deeper he goes into the unforgiving landscape, the more he strays from his purpose, mission and morality.

“Godland is a breathtaking piece of cinema filled with intelligent and subtle reflections on politics, art, history, religion, and nature,” said Eleonora Pesci, Curzon Film acquisitions executive. ”It was one of the very best films playing in Cannes.”

THE SILENT TWINS directed by AGNIESZKA SMOCZYNSKA

Adapted by screenwriter Andrea Seigel (Laggies) from journalist Marjorie Wallace’s non-fiction book of the same name, drama The Silent Twins explores the rich imaginative world but often unhappy real lives of outsider artists June (Letitia Wright) and Jennifer (Tamara Lawrance) Gibbons.
