MOVIE Bliss (2021) 15 u HHHH
A newly divorced office drone (Owen Wilson) struggles with reality, and is helped – or possibly not – by a free spirit (Salma Hayek, above, with Wilson).

MOVIE (2021) 15 u HHH Portrait of a relationship between a film director, who feels on top of the world (Tenet’s John David Washington), and his girlfriend (Zendaya), who feels underappreciated. The whole movie is just that, played out in one location in black-and-white, with a lot of shouting, swearing and throwing of clever words. It’s impressive and passionate, but it won’t be for everyone. From Friday.
