Film Club: Issue 6 – Latest Film Picks | April 2025

Welcome back to Film Punks Film Club – our monthly round-up of what’s new, what’s niche, and what’s just damn cool in the world of film and animation. This issue has modern myths, cosmic jazz, gritty indies, and a big hit of 90s nostalgia.

🎞️ MUST WATCH

“The Return” – Modern Mythmaking
Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Binoche in a moody, modern take on The Odyssey. Understated, epic, and beautifully bleak.

Lazarus – Soundtrack of the Year?
From the mind of Cowboy Bebop’s Shinichirō Watanabe, this anime series features a jazz-electro dream team: Kamasi Washington, Bonobo, and Floating Points.

🧠 DEEP CUT

The Sweet East – Cult Classic Incoming
A surreal, satirical road trip through modern America. Think Harmony Korine with better hair and a DOP who’s had enough.

📺 ONE FROM US

Horizon RMS – Hero Brand Film

We worked with Horizon RMS to create an eye-catching and industry-disruptive hero film destined for their new site. The brief was to distill their USPs into a punchy, engaging 90-second film to greet users on their new landing page. We wrote, filmed, and edited the piece > turning it around in under two weeks. CEO Andrew Moss’ response?

Simply: “Absolutely amazing…..”

A head-turning film to match the impact of their standout in-store activations.
