The year is 1957. After an impossibly glamorous youth as a star racing driver, Formula One hero Enzo Ferrari (a stonily ruthless Adam Driver) is now the grey-haired head of the family company. The car company makes bespoke vehicles for kings and princes, run a premium racing team – and is rapidly losing money. Enzo, torn between his embittered wife (Penelope Cruz) and his mistress of 12 years (Shailene Woodley) is fixated on winning a major race which, he hopes, will rescue Ferrari’s fortunes. Nothing – not even the body count of dead drivers bringing shame to the sport - can get in his way. Directed by cinema’s enduring master of classy action, Ferrari is a white-knuckle race to the finishing line.
Other movies
NORMAL
Director: Ben Wheatley
Normal's night of reckoning and west-meets-east thrills and blood-spills is dark, absurdly funny and drenched in its own B movie with A movie viewing sensibility. Back in trenchant Free Fire form, Ben Wheatley directs Bob Odenkirk (Better Call Saul, the Nobody movies) from a script by Odenkirk and John Wick creator Derek Kolstad. It's mid-winter, and Odenkirk is Ulysses, a laid-back, somewhat oblivious sheriff on a temporary job in a tiny Minnesota town where all is certainly not what it seems — as heavily signalled by an ultra-violent prologue featuring a yakuza standoff in Osaka. Normal is the name of this burg of 1,890 cheerful inhabitants (including cameos from Henry Winkler and Lena Headey), but the film is decidedly anything but.
ALL THAT'S LEFT OF YOU
Director: Cherien Dabis
This compelling family drama traces three generations of Palestinians from 1948-2022, revealing the profound impacts of the Nakba. The story begins in 1988 with Noor, a man who joins a protest that turns violent in the West Bank. Decades later his mother, Hanan, recounts her son’s story, starting with the 1948 expulsion of his grandfather from Jaffa. Amid the hardship, the family holds on to the hope of returning to their ancestral home. A love story between Hanan and her husband Salim serves as a beacon of light. Through intimate, moving performances, this film explores how trauma and heritage shape the bonds between a grandfather, a father and son, while filled with moments of joy, love and humor.
