A colourful, hand-drawn vision of 1980s New York, Pablo Berger’s Academy Award-nominated film swaps dialogue for comical sight gags and delightfully surreal reveries.

Inspired by a Henry James parable, Bertrand Bonello’s arresting odyssey stars Léa Seydoux and George MacKay in an epoch-spanning tale of doomed love.
