2025 Festival de Cannes selection and Closing Night film at Toronto (TIFF) film festival, Eclipse Cinema presents an exclusive season of wild rom-com climate catastrophe romp PEAK EVERYTHING. - Writer-director Anne Émond has reinvented the romantic comedy for the age of ecological anxiety. Winsomely pairing Patrick Hivon (Les affamés) and Piper Perabo (Coyote Ugly), PEAK EVERYTHING suggests that there is no better time to open your heart than when the world seems on the cusp of collapse. Despite his regimen of exercise and antidepressants, Adam (Hivon), proprietor of a Quebec kennel, cannot help but despair over the ever-escalating climate catastrophe. One night, while feeling especially hopeless, he calls the tech support line for his newly acquired therapeutic desk lamp, believing it to be a crisis help line. He gets lucky: on the other end is Tina (Perabo), who's relieved to talk about something more meaningful than assembly instructions. The pair connect over their shared existential worries and, when an earthquake rocks Tina's Ontario town, Adam takes the opportunity to drive there and help this woman he's never seen. Environmental dread brought these two together on the phone, so it's only fitting that a natural disaster prompts them to meet. This sets the couple off on a path of romance and adventure. PEAK EVERYTHING is a wild ride, populated by conspiracy-theorizing drug dealers and comically entitled Gen Zers, and offering Adam numerous opportunities to confirm his worst fears about the state of the planet. But at the core of this over-the-top love story are eternal questions about how best to use our time on this Earth, how to truly care for each other — and how to accept ourselves as we are.

ECLIPSE RETRO CLASSIX Directed by Brice Beresford - In the hall of local sports movies, Bruce Beresford’s 1980 Aussie Rules adaptation The Club is a reigning champ. - Adapted by David Williamson from his own acclaimed play, this is a comedy of clashing egos and battles of machismo set behind the doors of a flailing VFL club (Collingwood, thinly disguised). Tasmanian recruit Geoff Hayward (a bracingly youthful John Howard) is overpaid and underperforming in his first season on the mainland. Club president Ted Parker (comedy legend Graham Kennedy) is courting disgrace. And coach Laurie Holden (the extravagantly moustachioed Jack Thompson) is facing rebellious players, troublesome board members and the looming possibility of the chop. Directed by Beresford - a veritable Australian New Wave icon – The Club finds its action not on the football field but in the sublimely profane exchanges of dialogue fired off by its accomplished ensemble cast. Filmed at Collingwood’s former home ground of Victoria Park in Abbotsford, this rambunctious satire catches the nation’s beloved game at the moment when politicking began to eclipse mere sportsmanship.

A lean yet unflinching portrait that resists easy answers while demanding empathy, Urchin heralds Dickinson as an audacious new voice in British cinema and a filmmaker to watch.
