A father raises his three adult children in total isolation from the outside world. They’ve never left the house. They’ve been taught the wrong meanings of words. Everything they know has been filtered through him. When cracks start to appear, the whole system begins to wobble. After the screening, we’ll talk about how Lanthimos creates that atmosphere of control without doing anything flashy. The flat performances. The still camera. The way conversations feel slightly off. We’ll look at how language becomes a weapon in the film, and how repetition builds tension. It’s a good one to think about if you’re interested in tone and how far you can push an audience without raising your voice. Cinema // After is a new screening and discussion series at Picturehouse Liverpool, created by Let’s Make Films for anyone who loves cinema and wants to see it in new ways. Each event starts with a film that broke boundaries; visually, structurally, or emotionally. After the screening, we stay in the cinema for an interactive session led by the Let’s Make Films team. This is where we explore how the film was made, the choices behind it, and why it works the way it does. You’ll hear insights, share ideas, and take part in open conversation about the film’s craft and impact. The sessions are designed for filmmakers, writers, artists, and anyone curious about storytelling. You’ll come away with practical tools, fresh perspectives, and a stronger understanding of how films can shape the way we create and think. This isn’t a lecture or a formal class. Instead, we’re creating a relaxed space for discussion, creative thinking, and learning from each other. Whether you make films yourself or simply want to deepen your love for them, Cinema // After offers a chance to watch great cinema and leave inspired with your local community. So, come and watch the film. Be part of the discussion and see stories differently.
