Our recent recommendations for Sidney & Eden

Free entry! Nouvelle Vague dark horse Claude Chabrol earned his Hitchcock stripes with elegant bourgeois thrillers caked in icy suspense. His 90s masterwork La Ceremonie is no exception, with the ever-remarkable Isabelle Huppert leading Sandrine Bonnaire to ruthless extremes in a slow-burn of psychological warfare and class tension. Big rec if you thought Parasite wasn’t homoerotic enough! March’s screening at the Indie Classics Film Club will be LA CEREMONIE, a twisted psychodrama of class tension that builds and builds towards a shocking conclusion.

Free entry! A forgotten early oddity from Danny Boyle: Ewan McGregor and Cameron Diaz play a hostage and captor brought together by celestially engineered Stockholm Syndrome in this surprisingly star-studded romcom meets crime farce. Critics were divided but it’ll scratch all your maximalist 90s cinema itches: ludicrous plotting + a killer alt-rock soundtrack + chain-smoking angels = beautifully nostalgic chaos! Grindhouse Cinema Club Presents: A Life Less Ordinary FREE ENTRY!

Free entry! What if your thoughts could kill? Head-splitting body horror Scanners is a grisly transmission from David Cronenberg’s early-80’s paranoid sci-fi corporate lab. Fueled by queasy ideas about control, mutation and power, it’s high-tog early work from the master of mutilated pulp cinema. Grindhouse Cinema Club Presents: Scanners FREE ENTRY!

Free entry! Unfairly underrated cyberpunk noir, sure to satisfy your Neuromancer cine-fetish way more than anything in the Matrix franchise (or that Johnny Mnemonic misfire). Jack back into NYE 1999, where tapeheads trade memory playbacks on the black market, ultraviolence rules the day, and everyone’s still in love with Juliette Lewis. Grindhouse Cinema Club Presents: Strange Days FREE ENTRY!

Free entry! Grindhouse gifts us some wickedly entertaining anti-Christmas cult cinema in the shape of darkly comic Finnish action-horror Rare Exports. A smart and subversive twist on Nordic lore and Yuletide tradition, and gruesome enough to send Krampus behind the sofa. Grindhouse Cinema Club Presents: Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale FREE ENTRY!
