Decades into one of cinema's most celebrated directing careers, has Scott still got the magic to surprise us? Will The Dog Stars become another standout in an extraordinary filmography, or is this one destined to be a dog's breakfast? 🎟️ Special Guest: Ian Darling – The ValleyThis Father's Day, Evan will host a special post-screening Q&A with director Ian Darling following a screening of his meditative documentary The Valley at the Gala Cinema, Warrawong.

    I Want Your Sex, Palestine 36, The Party's Over, Tony

    🎬 Tonight on Celluloid Dreams! 🍿Airs Wednesday | 7:30 PM | 2SER 107.3 ✨ New Releases:Lewis dives into Gregg Araki's provocative new comedy I Want Your Sex. Starring Cooper Hoffman and Olivia Wilde, does this raunchy battle of the generations have enough bite, or is it all tease and no payoff? Evan heads to France for The Party's Over, the dark comedy that proved a crowd favourite at this year's French Film Festival. When a wealthy family's holiday idyll collides with class tensions and long-simmering resentments, who gets the last laugh?  Lewis also explores Palestine 36, a powerful historical drama set during the British occupation of Palestine. By returning to the roots of a history that continues to shape the present, the film offers a searing reminder of how colonial violence, displacement and resistance reverberate through generations. With the current crisis casting its shadow over every frame, Palestine 36 is not simply a historical drama—it is an urgent, deeply relevant film that asks us to confront the forces behind today's suffering and to listen to the voices history has too often tried to silence.  And finally, Lewis serves up Tony, Matt Johnson's intimate portrait of a young Anthony Bourdain. Rather than another cradle-to-grave biopic, this coming-of-age story focuses on one formative summer that helped shape one of the world's most beloved chefs and writers.  🎟️ Giveaway: DreamsWe've teamed up with Vendetta Films to give away an in-season double pass to the acclaimed Norwegian film Dreams. Listen to the show to find out how to enter and you could be heading to the cinema on us!  📻 Tune in at 7:30 PM on 2SER 107.3 for new releases, lively debate and all things screen culture.
