London Film Festival 2023 kicks off in a matter of weeks, and the full line-up has now been released. Big names from the festival circuit are making their way to the UK capital this October, like Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon and Yorgos Lanthimos' Poor Things, but there are also plenty of movies premiering at LFF.
From Emerald Fennell's sophomore feature Saltburn to a Chicken Run sequel and the latest Studio Ghibli, these are the titles we're looking forward to the most. There's also Daniel Kaluuya's directorial debut, Austin Butler's follow-up to Elvis, and not one, but two, films starring Paul Mescal.
Promising Young Woman director Emerald Fennell is back with her second feature, Saltburn, which makes its international premiere at London Film Festival. Barry Keoghan stars as Oliver, a student struggling to find his place at Oxford University when he's drawn into the intoxicating world of wealthy classmate Felix (Jacob Elordi). When Felix invites Oliver to spend the summer at Saltburn, his family's estate, Oliver quickly finds that he may have bitten off more than he can chew. The film's cast also includes Rosamund Pike, Richard E. Grant, and Archie Madekwe.
Daniel Kaluuya makes his directorial debut with The Kitchen, co-directing with filmmaker and architect Kibwe Tavares. Kane Robinson (better known as UK rapper Kano) stars as Izi, who lives in a dystopian version of London where social housing no longer exists and people live in slum-like high rises, like the Kitchen. When his young son suddenly becomes ill, Izi is forced to take desperate measures. The screening at London Film Festival will be the movie's world premiere.
