Ferrari joins Barbie, Oppenheimer, and The Boy and the Heron on the Top Ten List selected by the National Board of Review in recognition of extraordinary cinema released in 2023. Adam Driver (Marriage Story, BlacKkKlansman) gives a passionately controlled performance as Enzo Ferrari, the racecar creator who famously said: “Racing is a great mania to which one must sacrifice everything…” Michael Mann’s masterful film covers three months in 1957, when Ferrari is a symbol of Italian ingenuity and grace. Beneath the shiny surface, he is tormented by the need to win the dangerous - thrillingly filmed - Mille Miglia. At home, he must face the threats of his ex-wife and former partner (Cruz) to withdraw her shares of the company, after she discovers his mistress Lina (Shailene Woodley) and Piero, their son. "There is an unstoppable force at the center of Michael Mann’s Ferrari. One moment it has you in the throes of ecstasy; the next, fearing for your life. I’m talking, of course, about Penélope Cruz". – Rolling Stone.

American composer Jake Heggie’s masterpiece, the most widely performed new opera of the last 20 years, has its highly anticipated Met premiere, in a haunting new production by Ivo van Hove. Based on Sister Helen Prejean’s memoir about her fight for the soul of a condemned murderer, Dead Man Walking matches the high drama of its subject with Heggie’s beautiful and poignant music and a brilliant libretto by Tony and Emmy Award–winner Terrence McNally. Met Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin takes the podium for this landmark premiere, with mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato starring as Sister Helen. The outstanding cast also features bass-baritone Ryan McKinny as the death-row inmate Joseph De Rocher, soprano Latonia Moore as Sister Rose, and legendary mezzo-soprano Susan Graham—who sang Helen Prejean in the opera’s 2000 premiere—as De Rocher’s mother.Music by Jake Heggie, libretto by Terrence McNally Based on the Book by Sister Helen Prejean
A thrilling encounter with one of the world’s great art capitals.
Based on a major exhibition at the Ashmolean in Oxford, Tokyo Stories spans 400 years of incredibly dynamic art – ranging from the delicate woodblock prints of Hokusai and Hiroshige, to Pop Art posters, contemporary photography, Manga, film, and brand-new artworks that were created on the streets.
The exhibition was a smash-hit five-star success and brought a younger and more diverse audience to the museum. The film uses the exhibition as a launchpad to travel to Tokyo itself, and explore the art and artists of the city more fully.
A beautifully illustrated and richly detailed film, looking at a city which has undergone constant destruction and renewal over its 400-year history, resulting in one of the most vibrant and interesting cities on the planet…
“Tokyo has a powerful engine that just doesn’t stop. There is an energy, a particular floating power in Tokyo. Whatever happens, this city gets rebuilt again and continues to move forwards.” Machida Kumi
his new Exhibition on Screen film invites audiences to a private view of the exhibition, accompanied by the director of the Rijksmuseum and the curators of the show.
