La Chimera (M, 133 minutes)

Arthur (Josh O'Connor) has just been released from a short stint in prison. He fell in with the Tombaroli, a rowdy crew in Tuscany who pretend to make their living as farmers and entertainers, but instead pilfer the area's ancient Etruscan tombs for earthenware and ornaments to sell on the black market, hoping to one day strike it rich.

Late Night with the Devil (MA15+, 92 minutes)

In 1977, Jack Delroy (David Dastmalchian), the host of a once-popular syndicated TV talk show, is desperate to turn his fortunes around.

Robot Dreams (PG, 101 minutes)

Set in New York City in the 1980s, this animated film tells the story of Dog, a lonely canine who builds himself a robot for companionship. Their friendship blossoms as they embark on adventures (and misadventures) across the city, from taking the subway to Chinatown to roller skating in Central Park. One summer night, Dog becomes heartbroken when he is forced to abandon Robot at the beach. Will they ever meet again?
