One night on the streets of Tokyo, the young, out-of-luck boxer Leo falls in love with Monica, who, despite being a call-girl and an addict, is nevertheless innocent at heart. What Leo doesn't know is that the young lady has unwittingly found herself involved in a large drug deal. The pair soon find themselves tailed by a corrupt police officer, a member of the yakuza who is the former's nemesis, and a female assassin sent by the Chinese mafia. The fates of these characters become entangled in the director's characteristically spectacular style full of wild fun and general anarchy.

Six years after Parasite, Korean director Bong Joon-ho is back with another biting satire (this time set in the distant future) with Robert Pattinson shining in the leading role(s). Its unlikely hero, Mickey Barnes, has found himself in the extraordinary circumstance of working for an employer who demands the ultimate commitment to the job… to die, for a living. »Combining the best parts of Snowpiercer and Okja into something new, this warm and wonderful film suggests that Bong loves people even more than he hates capitalism.« – IndieWire.

Lucy works at a high-end matchmaking company trying to pair up moneyed entrepreneurs with elite bachelors and bachelorettes. When she meets Harry at the wedding of two of her successfully paired clients, she immediately knows that this ‘unicorn’ would be a perfect catch for a lot of her customers. But Harry is more interested in Lucy. And then her ex suddenly shows up… As we could expect from the director of Past Lives, Materialists is not exactly a romantic comedy about a matchmaker torn between two suitors, but rather a lucid examination of the contradictions of love and dating.
