This Thursday at 7.45pm | IFF 2026: Sicilian Letters - Sicily, early 2000s. After serving several years in prison for Mafia-related crimes, Catello, a long-serving politician, has lost everything. When the Italian Secret Service “persuades” him to help capture Matteo, the last major Mafia boss still on the run, whom Catello has known since he was a boy, he sees an opportunity to stage a comeback. A shrewd man of a hundred masks, a tireless illusionist who turns truth into falsehood and falsehood into truth, Catello begins a correspondence with the fugitive, as unique as it is improbable, exploiting the younger man’s emotional emptiness. A gamble which, with one of the most wanted criminals in the world, is always going to involve a degree of risk…... GET TICKETS https://www.lumierecinemas.co.nz/movie/iff26-sicilian-letters

T-U-E-S-D-A-Y at 10:30am | IFF - The Last One for the Road - Carlobianchi and Doriano, two broke, rogue-ish fifty-somethings with a ‘never skip the last drink’ philosophy, meet Giulio, a shy architecture student adrift in life. What starts as a chance encounter turns into a chaotic road trip through the Venetian plains – where bad advice, hangovers, and unexpected friendship redraw Giulio’s plans for life and love.... THE LAST ONE FOR THE ROAD received a huge 16 nominations at the 2026 David di Donatello Awards, Italy’s top film awards, where it won Best Film, Best Director, Best Leading Actor, Best Producers, Best Original Screenplay, Best Casting, Best Editing, and Best Original Song.

Out of the Past - Tuesday at 1.30pm | Alfred Hitchcock's VERTIGO (1958) - Somewhere... somehow... he'd loved and killed that self-same girl before!

Set among San Francisco's renowned landmarks, Alfred Hitchcock's masterwork creates a dizzying web of mistaken identity, passion, and murder after an acrophobic detective (James Stewart) rescues a mysterious blonde (Kim Novak) from the bay and must unravel the secrets of the past to find the key to his future.

Rejected upon release by critics and audiences, Vertigo's reputation has grown over time. Now considered one of Hitchcock's finest works, it even topped the 2012 Sight & Sound list of the greatest films ever made.... TICKETS HERE https://www.lumierecinemas.co.nz/movie/vertigo

What a way to start the week T-O-D-A-Y at 10.30am with the Italian Film Festival rom-com | Somebody to Love (Follemente) - : In Rome, recently separated philosophy professor Piero and furniture restorer Lara go on a first date. As dinner unfolds, their inner voices instinctive, romantic, logical, impulsive speak aloud, exposing their true thoughts, anxieties. Skilfully blending the same charm and comedic expertise that made Perfect Strangers one of the most internationally remade films in cinema history, SOMEBODY TO LOVE swept over 2.5 million moviegoers off their feet to become Italy’s #1 box office hit of 2025. Arguably the date-night movie of the year, this is fresh, uproarious and crowd-pleasing entertainment at its best....

Make or bring a date this Thursday 5.45pm | IFF 2026 - Bread and Tulips (2000) - An international hit over 25 years ago, director Silvio Soldini’s gently subversive comedy of womanhood and middle age is delightful, quirky and utterly charming.

Instead of going home, Rosealba defiantly sets out on a life-changing adventure to Venice! - TICKETS HERE https://www.lumierecinemas.co.nz/movie/iff26-bread-tulips-pane-e-tulipani
