I can also recommend a 2023 film that I randomly watched on a plane and had never heard of: Scrapper directed by Charlotte Regan. A 12yo girl is living alone after the death of her mother when her long-lost father returns.
Regarding The Zone of Interest, here's an interesting conversation from Dolby Labs with the filmmakers. It really doesn't make sense if you haven't seen the film, BUT I would suggest you see the film first. The conversation is great. https://youtu.be/R_TZTCQ53ss?si=iX5qGgsQ-9xIZMC-
The only one I've seen is THE ZONE OF INTEREST and couldn't recommend it more. I DID though see it at The Vista and I believe it needed to be in a different venue as the "black" moments needed it to be completely black and kinda felt it needs to be a completely "crisp" image. That's a quibble with an outstanding - probably classic - film...and has nothing to do with the actual filmmaking and storytelling.
ANATOMY OF A FALL should be getting more recognition for the acting - the boy, the prosecutor - of course Hueller - and even a "special award" for an animal; AJ Dean - you can't watch this movie - I thought of you as I did!)
SOCIETY OF THE SNOW - didn't expect to like it as much as I did. I saw it on Netflix, BUT it should be seen on the biggest screen possible. I had never seen anything from this director, but it's masterful...in terms of an epic look.
American Fiction - a wonderful satire for our times. I laughed the loudest I have in the theater in a long time for especially one joke.
The Holdovers - really great script and acting, but there's some great technical achievements as it "looks" like a 70's 16mm film, which is achieved in post digital, and there's some work on Giamatti too that enhances his character subtly.
Past Lives is very good - especially for a first-time director.
I want to see Scrapper when it comes this way, as well as Fallen Leaves, Perfect Days, How to Have Sex and Rye Lane. I've heard good things about all of these.
Loved “Jules” thank you for the film recommendations Justine

Hi Justine, I wanted to make a film suggestion for the group to watch. How about “The Wizard Of Oz”, or maybe the group has already done that one?
Try Lucas Gage’s new film Down Low. It’s a charming little indie that explores big themes with dark and twisted laughs.
