In cinemas 8 December in the US TBA in the UK and Australia No UK release date just yet, but given the film is debuting in the States in December, it should hopefully arrive by February next year at the very latest. But it seems it has those in spades too, with Cannes critics hailing its chilling, unblinking account of the family life of Auschwitz camp commandant Rudolf Höss. Jonathan Glazer has not made a film since 2013’s Under the Skin, which would make The Zone of Interest an event regardless of its merits. In cinemas 8 December in the US 12 January in the UK 18 January in Australia The Lobster, Killing of a Sacred Deer, The Favourite and now this: Lanthimos is on quite the run. Stone is an absolute hoot as Bella Baxter, a woman brought back to life by Willem Dafoe’s warped scientist … but there’s something a little off about her. Here comes Emma Stone, barreling past the other best actress frontrunners with a performance that very much goes for it in Yorgos Lanthimos’s adaptation of Alasdair Gray’s freaky fantasy comedy.
In cinemas 22 November in the US and UK 23 November in Australia But Scott can never be ruled out and has promised a four-and-a-half hour director’s cut to follow (and he has pretty decent form with those). This one, you suspect, could go either way: frankly, you can imagine a ripe turkey here, two-and-a-bit hours of Phoenix glowering away in his bicorn hat. Ridley Scott directs Joaquin Phoenix in a biopic of the Emperor of the First and Second French Empire-slash-subject of so, so many short jokes.

Released on Netflix worldwide on 10 November It might just be a little too “genre” for Academy voters (Netflix not giving it a cinema release probably won’t help) but Fincher is well liked, and might get a best director nod. Now this looks fun: David Fincher, returning to the clinical efficiency of his early years, with a taut thriller about a career hitman (Michael Fassbender) who finds himself on someone else’s kill list. Sure to be in the mix when awards season reaches its sharp end.
Scorsese adapting one of the best nonfiction books of the century so far, and bringing DiCaprio and De Niro along for the ride? We could probably stop there, but just to entice you further, there’s the rave reviews the film received at Cannes, and – for those who found Oppenheimer a bit too slight – a hefty, get-your-money’s-worth 3hr 26m running time. In cinemas 13 October in the US 10 November in the UK 25 January in Australia Justine Triet’s courtroom drama, about a writer trying to prove her innocence after her husband is found dead in the Alps (above), looks the best placed to make the leap this year, having already won the Palme d’Or at Cannes. The Oscars has become a bit more global-facing in recent years, with non-English language films regularly featuring in the best picture shortlist as well as best international film.
