From acclaimed director David Cronenberg (A History of Violence) comes a dark tale of sexual and intellectual discovery, featuring two of the greatest minds of the 20th century.

This potent documentary uses a long-lost film reel to illustrate how the Nazis controlled images of Jewish life during World War II. Though the Nazis made a propaganda movie of contented Jews in the Warsaw ghetto, the missing spool exposes the truth. Director Yael Hersonski shows how the imagery was staged to distort historical knowledge and, with the aid of Jewish survivors' testimony, chronicles the horrifying reality of ghetto life.

In this 'mixture of poignant drama and quirky humor… delivered by a superb cast' (Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune), the Travis family experiences a stunning tragedy which begins to unravel them. Teenage son Tim (Emilie Hirsch, The Girl Next Door) views his life as a bad dream. His father, Ben (Jeff Daniels - Terms of Endearment, The Hours), tunes out and treats his wife and children like strangers. His mother, Sandy (Oscar-nominee Sigourney Weaver 1986, Best Actress, Alien) sharpens her tongue with sarcasm and dulls her senses with pot while struggling hard to conceal a secret that threatens to ruin them all. With elements of pathos, salty humor and self-discovery, the Travises learn to accept one another as family - warts and all.

It's a long life, so you need life-long friends. 'Last Orders' is a funny and moving film about four old friends (Bob Hoskins, Ray Winstone, David Hemmings and Tom Courtenay) and, most of all, the man, Jack Dodds (Michael Caine), whose 'last orders' have set them on a journey. Jack Dodds was an ordinary guy, a butcher, yet a powerful, charismatic man whose life was a crucial heartline for the four men. As they make their trip through beautiful landscapes and a series of pubs, the men are flooded with memories of their life with him. There's 'Lucky' (Hoskins) the gambler, best friend to Jack and admirer of his beautiful wife, Amy (Helen Mirren); Vince (Winstone), Jack's son, a used-car dealer whose resentment towards Jack stems from a wartime secret; Lenny (Hemmings), a one-time boxer who is always looking for a fight; and undertaker Vic (Courtenay), a wise and bemused presence who manages to keep the men on track. Meanwhile, Jack's wife Amy is on a journey of her own to visit their daughter, whom Jack could never love. It's an epic story of a remarkable generation that survived a terrible war, a film about ordinary people which shows that there are no ordinary people. The stories of their early hopes, the children, the affairs, the good times and the bad, reveal to the men and to us that it's your friends who break your heart ... and your friends who mend it.

A historical drama for a modern audience, Wolf Hall, the 2016 Peabody Award and Golden Globe winner for Best Television Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for Television, tells the story of Thomas Cromwell, played by Mark Rylance (Bridge of Spies, Twelfth Night)—a blacksmith’s son who rises from the ashes of personal disaster, and deftly picks his way through a court where “man is wolf to man.” Damian Lewis (Homeland) is King Henry VIII, haunted by his brother’s premature death and obsessed with protecting the Tudor dynasty by securing his succession with a male heir to the throne. The cast also includes Claire Foy (The Queen, Little Dorrit) as the future queen Anne Boleyn.Adapted from Hilary Mantel’s best-selling Booker Prize-winning novels Wolf Hall and its sequel, Bring Up the Bodies, Wolf Hall follows the complex machinations and back room dealings of accomplished power broker Thomas Cromwell, who must serve king and country while dealing with deadly political intrigue, Henry VIII’s tempestuous relationship with Anne Boleyn, and the religious upheavals of the Protestant reformation.
