Cinema highlights

  1. A period drama scene set on the lawn of a grand English country house. Two figures in elaborate 18th-century costumes sit on either side of a dark ornate octagonal table bearing a bottle of red wine and two glasses. On the left, a young woman in a green and red floral silk gown with lace-trimmed sleeves sits on the grass, gazing away from the table. On the right, an older man in a dark red coat, embroidered waistcoat, and a large curled grey periwig sits in a carved wooden chair, his bandaged foot resting on a red cushion — suggesting gout. Behind them, a stone balustrade with obelisk finials borders a formal garden, and the façade of a Jacobean manor house is visible to the left, framed by autumn trees.

  2. A Black man in his late forties wearing a light purple button-down shirt and dark trousers stands in a vast, empty room with yellowish walls, fluorescent panel lighting in the ceiling, and sparse wooden chairs in the background. He looks alert and slightly uneasy, as if disoriented in the liminal, maze-like space.

  3. An older man and woman in Edwardian costume are seated on a gold damask sofa in an ornate Victorian drawing room. The woman in a cream lace dress turns to face the man in a dark suit and glasses who is reading a large broadsheet newspaper with the headline 'DUNLOP MANUFACTUR...' visible. A silver tea service is arranged on a round wooden table in the foreground.
