Empire of Light
From Oscar-winning writer-director Sam Mendes, Empire of Light is a moving drama about the power of human connection during turbulent times. Set in and around a faded old cinema in an English coastal town in the early 1980s, it follows Hilary (Olivia Colman) a cinema manager struggling with her mental health, and Stephen (Micheal Ward), a new employee who longs to escape this provincial town in which he faces daily adversity.
Both Hilary and Stephen find a sense of belonging through their unlikely and tender relationship and come to experience the healing power of music, cinema, and community. The film is Mendes’ first solo screenplay and has reunited him for the fifth time with acclaimed cinematographer Roger Deakins.
Abbott Elementary – Season two
In this acclaimed mockumentary-style workplace comedy, a group of dedicated, passionate teachers – and a slightly tone-deaf principal – are brought together in a Philadelphia public school where, despite the odds stacked against them, they are determined to help their students succeed in life. Though these incredible public servants may be outnumbered and underfunded, they love what they do – even if they don’t love the school district’s less-than-stellar attitude toward educating children.
Black Narcissus
In this drama series starring Gemma Arterton, a group of young nuns face challenges in their efforts to make a convent in the hostile environment of a remote old Himalayan palace – a place that holds many dark secrets. Based on the 1939 novel by Rumer Godden.
A Christmas Carol
This gothic and spine-tingling adaptation of Charles Dickens’ iconic ghost story follows Ebenezer Scrooge (Guy Pearce) as he experiences a dark night of the soul – past, present and future. Also starring Stephen Graham as Jacob Marley and Andy Serkis as the Ghost of Christmas Past.
