  • The Empire

    The Empire

    ★★★½

    Even sharing a name in common, Bruno Dumont’s L’Empire sees the master provocateur take aim at the incessant and absurd Star Wars and Marvel sequels, creating his own sci-fi odyssey, as idiotic as he sees these to be.

    In the remote and banal Opal Coast of Northern France, Dumont shows us how mundane it would be if there really was a galactic war on our doorstep.

  • Eat the Night

    Eat the Night

    ★★★

    Sex, molly and video games. Kino.

    Handsomely photographed and scored, it’s a shame the screenplay feels ‘abbreviated’ at times.
