What do you do when your obnoxious playboy son is so out of control that his over-the-top partying threatens to ruin your luxury hotel empire? Obviously, you endeavour to teach him some humility. So you hire a borderline-lunatic film director to construct an authentic 18th century village, fill it with actors and surveillance cameras, and then have your son drugged, kidnapped and dumped in the village, so he believes he has time-travelled and his life is now that of a peasant. This new film by the writers of the huge French box office hit comedy Welcome to the Sticks is the outrageous mashup of The Truman Show, Barry Lyndon and Apocalypse Now that you never realised you needed. Silly, rude and even a little bit charming, King of My Castle is a wonderfully funny and inventive film about a preposterous plan where everything goes wrong, but characters still manage to learn lessons along the way. Get ready for a one-of-a-kind cinematic adventure that promises to leave you in stitches and questioning just how far one should take the idea of learning a valuable lesson…

Over a decade in the making, Claude Lanzmann’s nine-hour-plus opus is a monumental investigation of the unthinkable: the murder of more than six million Jews by the Nazis. Using no archival footage, Lanzmann instead focuses on first-person testimonies (of survivors and former Nazis, as well as other witnesses), employing a circular, free-associative method in assembling them. The intellectual yet emotionally overwhelming Shoah is not a film about excavating the past but an intensive portrait of the ways in which the past is always present, and it is inarguably one of the most important cinematic works of all time.
