TRASH (1970)
SATURDAY 15 MAY | 12:30 PM
Set in decaying downtown New York, Trash follows junkie drifter Joe through heroin haze, hustling and fractured relationships. Produced in the Warhol orbit, it blends deadpan humour, sleaze and improvisation with unexpected tenderness. A provocative time capsule of a vanished subculture surviving on wit, desperation and style.
JULIEN DONKEY-BOY (1999)
SATURDAY 15 MAY | 14:30 PM
Harmony Korine’s fractured drama follows Julien, a young man with schizophrenia within a volatile family. Shot in raw, unstable style, it blurs reality and imagination to evoke emotional disintegration. Amid chaos, it remains tender and compassionate. A difficult, humane portrait of madness, vulnerability and family collapse.
FUNNY GAMES (1997)
SATURDAY 15 MAY | 16:30 PM
Michael Haneke’s home invasion thriller becomes a confrontation with the viewer. Two polite young men torture a family while the film dismantles cinematic comfort and catharsis. Clinical, tense, deeply unsettling; Funny Games critiques violence as spectacle and leaves the audience implicated in what they choose to watch.
HAPPINESS (1998)
SUNDAY 16 MAY | 12:30 PM
A suburban ensemble piece where outward normality collapses under private compulsions, loneliness and shame. Todd Solondz constructs a world of uneasy humour and emotional violation, exposing the gap between how people appear and what they secretly desire, fear, or inflict on others.
THE BOXER'S OMEN (1983)
SUNDAY 16 MAY | 14:30 PM
A Hong Kong cult classic of black magic and supernatural excess. A revenge story dissolves into sorcery, curses and grotesque practical effects. Logic gives way to escalating spectacle, blending horror, fantasy and fever dream energy. Shocking, hilarious and overwhelming, it’s communal cult cinema at its most extreme.
POSSESSION (1981)
SUNDAY 16 MAY | 17:00 PM
In divided Berlin, a marriage unravels into emotional apocalypse. Sam Neill and Isabelle Adjani embody jealousy and desire mutating beyond reason. Horror, melodrama and psychological collapse fuse into overwhelming intensity. Sensual, grotesque and tragic, it traces love curdling into destruction.
