Feature: Kontinental ’25

Radu Jude | Romania, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Brazil, UK | 109′ Comedy, drama | Romanian, Hungarian and German, with English subtitles

A court bailiff struggles with guilt after an eviction ends in suicide, in Radu Jude’s razor-sharp satire on how capitalism makes us all complicit in systems of exploitation. As Orsolya roams the streets of Cluj in search of moral redemption, the acclaimed Romanian director exposes the absurdity of our hyper-capitalist world. A provocative and unsettling film about a continent trapped in a system that no one supports — yet everyone sustains.

Feature: What Does That Nature Say to You?

Hong Sang-soo | 2025 | South Korea | 108′Comedy, Drama, Romance | Korean, with English subtitles

Hong Sang-soo’s 33rd film is, as ever, a perfect introduction to his distinctive body of work. A drifting poet, a house with chickens, and an encounter with the in-laws set the stage for a playful, subtly absurd reflection on art, ego, and parenthood, told in a way only Hong can.
