A FISTFUL OF CULTURE: Picks from the 2014 NZ International Film Festival programme The New Zealand International Film Festival returns this month with your annual dose of the finest cinema the world has to offer, including hot titles direct from Cannes, much-anticipated festival highlights from the past year, yet-to-be-discovered gems and some strong local content, all screening on each city’s best screens. Navigating the programme and selecting from the overwhelming line-up can be hard work, so in order to ease the decision-making process I have created a list of the festival’s must-see films. MAPS TO THE STARS (Dir. David Cronenberg) Legendary Canadian provocateur David Cronenberg (Videodrome, A History of Violence) follows up 2012′s underrated Cosmopolis with the seemingly-even-more-divisive Maps to the Stars. This darkly comic Hollywood satire finds him reteaming with Robert Pattinson alongside Mia Wasikowska, John Cusack and Julianne Moore, who was awarded Best Actress at Cannes for her performance as a troubled actress in decline.
