Movies | Ten films worth waiting for this fall

Summer after hit movies, the eyes of movie lovers are in autumn.

HS compiled a list of special novelties worth waiting for.

The expected films are listed below in alphabetical order, and there may still be changes to the premiere dates in Finland.

In the process it must also be stated that the general appearance of the film autumn is also somewhat lackluster. Part of the reason is the ongoing writers’ and actors’ strikes in Hollywood, the latter of which especially affects the premieres of American films.

Film companies are hesitant to bring new releases to theaters, as the strike prevents actors from participating in the marketing of films.

The companies are therefore under pressure to move the presentation of new releases to next year, to late winter and early spring, which have traditionally been the best season for quality films in the annual cycle of films.

Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget

Animation studio Aardman is the world’s number one producer of so-called wax animation films. Especially known from them Late Lamb -adventures as well Wallace & Gromit movies. Now the British studio brings you a long animation in which Chicken flight-the winged ones familiar from adventures drift to the climb.

We are allowed to expect speed cannons, British absurdism and criticism of the capitalist consumer economy, because the chicken family is now threatened by a power chicken and ending up in breadcrumbs.

Premieres December 15 (Netflix).

Killers of the Flower Moon

Veteran Martin Scorsese continues his career with a story about the oppression of Osage women of the American indigenous people and the connection of the country’s wealth to oil drilling. The bottom is by David Grann a book in which an investigative journalist settles the case. (The excellent book is being translated into Finnish!)

However, the approach of the director Scorsese and the screenwriters is different than in the book, as the main roles are played by Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert de Niro performed by the villagers.

Not the best Scorsese, but Scorsese nonetheless. Lily Gladstone is wonderful in the female lead role.

The director’s dog Alma plays a supporting role.
