| | | | CAUGHT IN THE NET
VÍT KLUSÁK AND BARBORA CHALUPOVA Three fake pre-teen girls, three fake bedrooms, three cameras, three chat boxes. Online sexual predation is caught on camera in this interventionist documentary-slash-social experiment that plays out like a thriller. Essential viewing for anyone wishing to understand – and, for once, see the tables turned on – the sickos of this world. | | |

IRRÉVERSIBLE - INVERSION INTÉGRALE
GASPAR NOÉ
A couple, love, an evening, a rape, the horror ... Previously moving backward in time, the scandalous and cult film by Gaspar Noé, rethought, reassembled and now linear. No one can emerge unscathed from this film-experience torn between love and hate. | | |
| |
|
|
![]() | | | | | L’ENLÈVEMENT DE MICHEL HOUELLEBECQ
GUILLAUME NICLOUX Michel Houellebecq (playing himself) has disappeared! The renowned writer is being held hostage at the home of a random sweet old lady. The wine and food are good and plus, he can smoke. A comedy more absurd than real life, if that’s possible… | | |
| |
|
| | ![]() | | | | | MANDIBULES
QUENTIN DUPIEUX Two magnificent loosers find a giant fly in the trunk of a stolen car. Brilliant idea: they are going to train her to commit future thefts. Quentin Dupieux's new comedy (Au poste!): Absurd and jubilant, one of the most anticipated films of the year. | | |
| |
|
|
![]() | | | | | MUSIC HOLE
GAËTAN LEKENS AND DAVID MUTZENMACHER An burlesque thriller scented with gueuze. A trash-hilarious comedy guaranteed to surprise even the most jaded of spectators (not too politically correct, though). On par to certainly be the new cult phenomenon made in Belgium. | | |
| |
|
| | ![]() | | | | | OUT OF THE BLUE (BRAND NEW RESTORATION)
DENNIS HOPPER The great classic of counter culture signed Dennis Hopper (Easy Rider), finally restored and accessible. An ultimate and iconic film, with the immense actress Linda Manz and Neil Young to the music. Rock'n'roll is definitely here to stay! Essential viewing! Absolute beauty! | | |
| |
|
|
![]() | | | | | POISSONSEXE
OLIVIER BABINET After all aquatic life has disappeared, a biologist looks for love and fish. From the director of Swagger, a comedy that looks for (and finds) humour in a seemingly depressing world – no small challenge. | | |
| |
|
| | ![]() | | | | | RED POST ON ESCHER STREET
SION SONO A Genius film director, Tadashi Kobayashi holds an audition for his new film project. Several unique actors and actresses apply for the roles but most of them does not pass. They decide to participate as extras on his project. Can the film come to an completion without accident? Sion Sono’s brand new cult comedy. | | |
| |
|
|
![]() | | | | | SHELL AND JOINT
ISAMU HIRABAYASHI The succession of guests in a Japanese capsule hotel are stand-ins for society at large, broken down into a series of absurdist sketches in this offbeat comedy about life, sex and insects that’s somewhere between Roy Anderson, Woody Allen and Werner Herzog. | | |
| |
|
| | ![]() | | | | | SIBERIA
ABEL FERRARA Abel Ferrara (King of New York) is back! His latest is a psychoanalytic nightmare starring Willem Dafoe that falls somewhere between Tarkovsky and Lynch. Love, sex, war, death and the ever-more-relevant issue of solitude are all exquisitely dissected in an experience both sensory and metaphysical. | | |
| |
|
|
![]() | | | | | THALASSO
GUILLAUME NICLOUX At a health spa, Michel Houellebecq and Gérard Depardieu do their very best to buck current wellness trends. An absurd, poetic and poignant comedy about two nasty boys in a world of overly clean adults. | | |
| |
|
| | ![]() | | | | | THE TREMOR
BALAJI VEMBU CHELLI Atmospheric and enigmatic à la Apichatpong Weerasethakul. A journey through hairpin bends of absurdity, despairing mockery and existentialist lament that tells the tale of a journalist lost in the wild. |
