NOPE
Two siblings who run a California horse ranch discover something wonderful and sinister in the skies. Jordan Peele (‘Get Out’ / ‘Us’) returns with another sly and satirical film. Daniel Kaluuya and Keke Palmer play brother and sister OJ and Emerald Haywood, whose dad, a proud and savvy ranch owner based in California, has just died. Will they be able to put aside their differences when they realise their dad’s farm, along with a neighbouring theme park run by former TV star Ricky ‘Jupe’ Park (Steven Yeun), is under threat? And can they not only defeat their extra-terrestrial foe, but capture it on film? Peele is masterful at manipulating and restricting perspective, delighting in leaving just enough out of view to allow the imagination to worsen the horror. USA 2022 JORDAN PEELE 130M

PRIMA FACIE
NT ENCORE Jodie Comer (‘Killing Eve’) makes her West End debut in the UK premiere of Suzie Miller’s award-winning play, which takes us to the heart of where emotion and experience collide with the rules of the game. Tessa is a young, brilliant barrister. She has worked her way up from working class origins to be at the top of her game: defending, cross examining and winning. An unexpected event forces her to confront the lines where the patriarchal power of the law, burden of proof and morals diverge. ‘Prima Facie’ takes us to the heart of where emotion and experience collide with the rules of the game. Justin Martin directs this solo tour de force, captured live from the intimate Harold Pinter Theatre in London’s West End. 120M
