ABOUT THE FILM
"Underneath the Catalonian sun, a rich white American family lives in hedonistic isolation, seeking love and validation through one another, their designer wardrobes and pop music. But when an outsider infiltrates the family, buried tensions surface and blood ties are severed..."
—Watershed Summary"Rosebush Pruning is a fabulous feast for the eyes and ears – and those who like their cinema deliriously queer."
—Stephen A. Russell, Time Out"Rosebush Pruning is proudly a weird, bad time at the movies, but it’s also a film that selects its targets and then hits them with dead aim.
—David Jenkins, Little White Lies"Rosebush Pruning makes its anti-capitalist points tartly ... but the twistier things get, the sillier they get too.
"Still, there’s pleasure in the film’s excesses, mainly because Aïnouz and his team present them with such febrile, iridescent beauty.""This warped satire is ultimately neither as shocking nor as funny as you initially hope it’s going to be."

ABOUT THE FILM
"Tell me about a complicated man.
Muse, tell me how he wandered and was lost
When he had wrecked the holy town of Troy,
and where he went, and who he met, the pain
he suffered on the sea, and how he worked
to save his life and bring his men back home.
... Now goddess, child of Zeus,
tell the old story for our modern times .."
— Homer, The Odyssey, trans. Emily Watson"With a star-studded cast including Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong'o, Zendaya and Charlize Theron, Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is the most anticipated film on Letterboxd for 2026.
Homer’s heroic tale details the arduous, danger-filled journey of Odysseus, King of Ithaca, from the Trojan War back to his homeland, where his wife Penelope awaits his return while fighting off a hoard of suitors. Along the way, the monarch and his dwindling army are faced with many of the Gods’ worst creations and temptations."
