"Rian Johnson's whodunnit Knives Out franchise with Daniel Craig as the eccentric Southern detective Benoit Blanc put some fizz into the London film festival a couple of years ago when the second film in the series was included. Now the threequel is the festival's opening gala: Josh O'Connor is the principled young priest who finds himself in the frame when his fierce clerical superior is whacked and Benoit has to find out the truth."
"Brazilian director Kleber Mendonca Filho sets his expansive, freewheeling dramedy-thriller during the 1970s Brazilian dictatorship and Wagner Moura plays a dissident scientist on the run from government forces who want to dispose of him. With its visual brilliance, sensual big-city intrigue and languorous mystery it feels like Elmore Leonard mixed with Antonioni's The Passenger. The Ice Tower An eerie and unwholesome spell is cast"

Yorgos Lanthimos returns with Bugonia, a macabre black comedy about online conspiracy starring Emma Stone.
