De Gaulle : Resistance 

Directed by Antonin Baudry | France | 2026 | 2h 38m | French w/ English subtitles | Starring Simon Abkarian, Simon Russell Beale, Florian Lesieur, Benoît Magimel, Anamaria Vartolomei

June 1940: France has fallen and signed an armistice with Germany. Little-known army general Charles de Gaulle refuses to accept defeat, fleeing to London to rally support for continued resistance. The first instalment of Antonin Baudry’s two-part historical epic features an incredible international ensemble cast, including Simon Russell Beale as Winston Churchill, and was a major box office hit in France.

Just An Illusion

Directed by Eric Toledano and Olivier Nakache | France | 2026 | 1h 59m | French w/ English subtitles | Starring Louis Garrel, Simon Boublil, Camille Cottin, Pierre Lottin, Giorgia Sinicorni

Suburban Paris, 1985. Twelve-year-old Vincent lives with a distant older brother and parents who won’t stop arguing. Between laughter and unease, he navigates friendship, first love, and his first real steps into the adult world. This heart-warming comedy pairs impressive performances from Louis Garrel (The Dreamers) and Camille Cottin (Call My Agent!) with the infectious energy of a 1980s soundtrack, capturing childhood’s mix of chaos and tenderness with real warmth and wit.
