4th October - 8pm

Iontas Theatre, MU at 8pm
Showing the French mystery thriller - THE BEASTS

An expatriate French couple (Denis Ménochet and Marina Foïs) operate an organic farm in the Spanish countryside. However, their earnest enthusiasm reeks of patronizing privilege to the handful of "hill people" families who have toiled on the land for generations. Tensions between locals and foreigners boil over in this edge-of-your-seat stuff

1976
Director: Manuela Martelli
95 mins | Chile/Argentina. | 2022
Cast: Aline Kuppenheim, Nicolás Sepúlveda

Chile, 1976. Pinochet’s military dictatorship has been in control for a few years. Carmen is an upper-middle class woman overseeing the renovation of her family’s beach house. When the family priest asks her to look after a badly wounded young man named Elias, she accepts. She quickly figures out Elias has been the victim of political violence. As the weeks pass, Carmen’s worldview starts to change - and she begins to suspect the authorities are watching her. Chilean actress Manuela Martelli makes her directorial debut with this expertly-crafted character study. Martelli searingly explores a period of political and social turmoil, while also building a palpable sense of unease and paranoia.

6th December - 8pm

THE NIGHT OF THE 12TH
Director: Dominik Moll
115 minutes | France/Belgium | 2022
Cast: Bastien Bouillon, Bouli Lanners, Anouk Grinberg, Mouna Soualem, Pauline Serieys

Inspired by a case from Pauline Guéna’s book of her time with the Criminal Investigation Department in 2016: a young woman is murdered in her quiet mountain village. But what starts as an investigation into the victim’s life and a shocking crime soon turns into a haunting obsession for newly promoted Detective Yohan Vivès and his team as the killer continues to evade them… From acclaimed French director Dominik Moll this is a raw, powerful police drama, layered with social topics addressing some fundamental issues around human behaviour, endemic misogyny and male violence towards women, which is elevated by some stellar performances from the entire cast. A solid, affecting experience that will stay with the viewer long after it’s over.
