1950. Anatole “Zsa-zsa” Korda (Benicio del Toro), enigmatic industrialist, one of the richest men in Europe, survives another attempt on his life (his sixth plane crash). Korda's wide-ranging, wildly complex, and ruthless business practices have made him an enemy to not just rival enterprises but also governments of every ideology across the globe -- and a target for assassins. Now he is in the final stages of a decades-long, career-defining project (Korda Land and Sea Phoenician Infrastructure Scheme), the expansive exploitation of a potentially-rich/long-dormant region. The risk to his personal capital has become incalculable. The threats to his life are ongoing. He chooses this moment to appoint and prepare a successor: his twenty-year-old estranged daughter Liesl (currently, a nun).
With personal tutor Bjorn (Michael Cera) in tow, Zsa-zsa and Liesl sweep across Modern Greater Independent Phoenicia meeting their assorted partners on a mission to close The Gap (a rapidly expanding financial shortfall) which Zsa-zsa quantifies as: "Everything we got -- plus a little bit more."
Along the way: Liesl investigates the unsolved murder, a decade earlier, of Zsa-zsa's first wife (her mother).

Following a botched kidnapping attempt that left a child dead, the dark- skinned and obese chauffeur Marcos wrestles with guilt while becoming obsessed with his wealthy employer’s daughter Ana, newly returned from abroad and a dabbler in high-class prostitution. Opening with an explicit, slo-mo fellatio (scored ethereally to Tavener’s “The Protecting Veil”), Reygadas’s provocative vision of social inequality scandalised audiences at Cannes with its potent mixture of religious feeling, avant-garde shock tactics, the autobiographical blending of documentary and fiction (Reygadas cast his own family driver as Marcos while Ana is a well-to-do nonprofessional), and sheer cinematic spectacle. Marcos’s journey towards redemption through sin takes viewers on a tour of Mexico City and its surrounding countryside that characteristically for the auteur juxtaposes the sacred and the profane, with a notable accent on the disposable ugliness of the mundane. While Reygadas’s lurid sensationalism may leave him open to charges of exploitation, the film appears in retrospect prophetic not only of our present world divided between the haves and the have nots, but of the cinema it has inspired, whose opposing paradigms must be ROMA (2018) and PARASITE (2019) – visions poised between hope for reconciliation and fear of retribution.Post-screening talk in Cantonese with journalist Jacky Lin & film critic Derek

With Sean Baker’s ANORA (2024) winning an unprecedented four Academy Awards, we look back at his creative trajectory, going all the way back to when he first found the independent spirit with his longtime collaborator Shih-Ching Tsou. Made for only US$3,000 and with a MiniDV camera, Baker and Tsou wrote, shot, directed and edited this story of Ming, an undocumented Chinese immigrant struggling for survival in New York City. To pay off his debts, he delivers as many takeout orders as possible every day, but he eventually sees both the hot and cold of human nature. In this melting pot of a city, he is doomed to drift aimlessly like a lone boat at sea. Influenced by cinéma vérité and the Dogme 95 movement, Baker adheres to a style of realism here that has become his trademark, even foreshadowing the emotional reversal in the end of ANORA. Seeing the film’s approach to marginalised communities feels even more prescient 20 years later when we look at the delivery courier controversy in Hong Kong, as well as the plight of refugees in Europe and the U.S. Perhaps seeing Baker’s concern for the disadvantaged could give us a way to find solutions together.

On a contemporary grand tour from Lisbon to India along the Mediterranean Sea, stopping at cities such as Marseilles, Naples, Athens, Istanbul, Cairo and Aden, history professor (Leonor Silveira) and her young daughter visit the most significant of historical sites – some of which now only remain as ruins.Encounters with interlocutors from different cultures and identities prompt them to muse on how the cradle of civilisation – The Mediterranean – was (and is) also the centre of evolving cultural conflicts, and the rise and fall of kingdoms and legends, while wars erupt in succession, and they debate the contradictions arising through the foibles and excesses of human intelligence.These reflections extend to modern time hegemony and idiosyncrasies in the dining table dialogue with the American cruise captain (John Malkovich) and his lady guests (Catherine Deneuve, Irene Papas, Stefania Sandrelli).Ostensibly presenting itself as a travelogue, with a splash of his distinguished formal inventiveness, the film holds dear the enduring variety of civilisation we have created for ourselves, and is a fable of the precarious circumstances of such abundance when civilisation itself is threatened.

The city of Nazareth is mainly inhabited by Arabs living under the Israeli occupation. Life seems to be peaceful here, but violence can be triggered at any time: Teenagers chase Santa Claus down and kill him; drivers curse at each other; neighbours toss trash at each other; an old man punctures a youngster’s football. Some are spectators while others beat people up, shoot guns and set fires, just like any other day. Israel sets up a checkpoint between Jerusalem and Ramallah in Palestine; after a son visits his heart attack-
stricken father in the hospital, he goes to the checkpoint for a silent date with his lover, who is in the Ramallah side. As the pressure cooker nears breaking point, a red balloon with Yasser Arafat’s face floats across Jerusalem, and a female ninja fights Israeli soldiers. Writing, directing and starring in the film, Palestinian filmmaker Elia Suleiman portrays everyday reality in Israel and Palestine using absurd surrealism, denouncing the cruelty and injustice of the occupation. The Cannes jury led by David Lynch fell in love with the film, making it the first Palestinian film to win a major award at one of the “Big Three” European film festivals.
With a 10–15-minute introduction in Cantonese by film critic Timmy Chen.

Pulse Critics Choice 2025
119 Minutes
Welcome to the internet. Riding on the wave of J-horror brought on by RING (1998), Kurosawa Kiyoshi follows technological trend by updating an age-old formula for a new era. After all, a virus attached to a video tape can’t possibly infect people more effectively than an invisible virus spread on the internet. As the apocalypse is spread in the blink of an eye, it turns out that driving force isn’t hatred, but loneliness and the inherent emptiness of modern civilisation. Like the dots that appear in the film without a line connecting them, bizarre clues don’t bring us any closer to the truth. Flesh and blood on the wall suddenly become a dark two-dimensional shadow as invisible phantoms become tangible through internet broadband cables. The sinister presence hiding in an abandoned space slowly appears in front of our eyes. Continuing the use of experimental lighting and sound editing techniques of CURE (1997) and SÉNANCE (2000), this film opens a door to spiritual experiences for the Asian successors of slow cinema in the new century.

“Sex. Mayhem. Whatever.” —Tagline of THE DOOM GENERATION
While searching for bigger highs while travelling from “Hell” nightclub to“Heaven” drive-in theatre, Amy and Jordan’s hazy night is rudely interrupted by handsome drifter Xavier, who forces himself upon the couple as a third wheel. Like a walking disaster, Xavier creates death even while shopping in a convenience store. Now forced to run from the law with Xavier, Amy and Jordan are caught in a spiral of absurd violence and intense sex on the road.New Queer Cinema pioneer Gregg Araki’s first independent project with a considerable budget boasts a collage of miscellaneous iconographies – Dr.Martens boots and samurai swords; the American national anthem and shoegaze; and Doritos chips and Diet Coke – to show the untamable wills of its three protagonists. Riding across the desolate empty landscape of California, three souls with no future create a brief but timeless spark before inevitable doom. Still as provocative and shocking as when it was first released, the film doesn’t set out to please audiences; it stings them(thrillingly) and asks a pressing contemporary question: “Where is our future?”
