What’s coming soon to FilmStruck UK in July 2018?
David Farnor | On 27, Jun 2018
FilmStruck UK gets in the summer spirit this July, with a focus on music documentaries to fill the Glastonbury-shaped hole in your life. From new arrivals and old favourites, here’s what’s coming soon to FilmStruck UK in July 2018:
Klute – 1st July
Jane Fonda won the Oscar for Best Actress for her dazzling dramatic performance in Alan Pakula’s haunting neo-noir.
Grand Prix – 1st July
With breathtaking cinematography and an international ensemble cast, Grand Prix is one of the greatest films ever made about professional motor racing.
Big Wednesday – 1st July
This cult classic is one of the memorable surfing films in cinema history, and paved the way for Kathryn Bigelow’s Point Break.
New Jack City – 1st July
A provocative, pulsating action epic, this film is the prototype for 90s gangster melodrama.
McCabe & Mrs Miller – 1st July
An idiosyncratic reworking of the Western genre and one of Robert Altman’s best early movies.
The Duke of Burgundy – 1st July
As moving as it is arousing, The Duke of Burgundy’s melancholic masochism makes for seductively good cinema.
Enemy – 1st July
Before Blade Runner 2049 and Arrival, Denis Villeneuve blew minds with his twisting, confusing, scary drama starring Jake Gyllenhaal.
Force Majeure – 1st July
Ruben Östlund’s film follows a family whose ski holiday is disrupted by a disaster – only for the husband and father of the gang to reveal his true, dubious character. A superbly thought-out black comedy that dares to touch every nerve.
Ida – 1st July
Pawel Pawlikowski’s impressively directed and deeply moving drama about a young novice in a 1960s Polish commune is anchored by a pair of terrific performances
The White Ribbon- 1st July
A baron (Ulrich Tukur), a doctor (Rainer Bock) and a pastor (Burghart Klaussner) rule over a small German village with a stern hand. One day, the doctor falls off his horse after it trips over a wire strung between two trees. More violent pranks follow, seemingly without reason, all directed at the village’s upper class. Michael Haneke’s study of conformity is harsh, provocative viewing.
Katalin Varga – 1st July
Already seen The Duke of Burgundy? Try Peter Strickland’s 2009 drama about a woman cast out of her home by her husband who embarks on a quest of revenge.
