Children of Men: The Most Realistic Dystopian Film?

from Celebrating Cinema · host LAB111

This week, Laura and Hugo dive into films chosen by you. Drawing from our LAB Suggestions programme, where audiences select their favourite films to be shown on the big screen in Amsterdam, they share their standout picks. From the chilling plausibility of Children of Men to a friendly (but pointed) debate over whether Christopher Nolan’s Inception owes more than a little to Satoshi Kon’s Paprika.Along the way, they share tidbits from conversations with Colin Farrell and Alfonso Cuarón, plus a voice note from one of our listeners whose pick, The NeverEnding Story, is heading to the big screen.Get tickets to LAB Suggestions @ LAB111Get tickets to Hamnet @ LAB111Get tickets to The Actor’s Archive: Jane Fonda @ LAB111Get tickets to Fight The Power: Goodbye Julia @ LAB111
