Experiential cinema in its purest form, Gunda chronicles the unfiltered lives of a mother pig, a flock of chickens, and a herd of cows with masterful intimacy. From the director of 'Aquarela.'

"What's so remarkable about Gunda is not only how beautifully Kossakovsky renders these humble surroundings, but how much drama he manages to excavate from the daily to-ing and fro-ing of farmyard life." - Independent

Matt Damon is back on the big screen with Stillwater at the Princess starting this Friday. If you're looking for a little bit of a thriller / mystery vibe at the movies this weekend, this is a sure-fire pick.

"...boasts one of Damon's very best performances." - Reel Film Reviews

"The Green Knight -- an epic in miniature, a fantasy all the more poignant for its moral realities -- makes this a lesson worth learning" - Rolling Stone

The Green Knight

The Green Knight honors and deconstructs its source material in equal measure, producing an absorbing adventure that casts a fantastical spell.

An epic fantasy adventure based on the timeless Arthurian legend, The Green Knight tells the story of Sir Gawain (Dev Patel), King Arthur's reckless and headstrong nephew, who embarks on a daring quest to confront the eponymous Green Knight, a gigantic emerald-skinned stranger and tester of men.

The Truffle Hunters

The Truffle Hunters explores a world most viewers will know nothing about -- with delightfully savory results.

Deep in the forests of Piedmont, Italy, a handful of men, seventy or eighty years young, hunt for the rare and expensive white Alba truffle—which to date has resisted all of modern science's efforts at cultivation. They're guided by a secret culture and training passed down through generations, as well as by the noses of their cherished and expertly-trained dogs.

Ennio Morricone Celebration - The Mission

14A

'The Mission' features one of Morricone's most famous and beloved scores, including the enduring song, 'Gabriel's Oboe'

"There are moments in film music history where you can listen to a score, and upon its conclusion sit back and be content in the knowledge that you have just experienced a genuine masterpiece. It doesn’t happen very often, because it has to be a perfect combination of everything that can possibly make a film score great.
