Big news, cinema fans! A brand new season of Dazed x MUBI Cinema Club is upon us, following a bumper spring series that featured screenings of Return to Seoul, The Five Devils, Medusa Deluxe, and more. This time around, things are kicking off with an exclusive preview of Ira Sachs’s Passages.
Set in contemporary Paris, the Love Is Strange filmmaker’s romantic drama stars Franz Rogowski (Undine) and Ben Whishaw (Women Talking) as Tomas and Martin, a gay couple whose marriage is thrown into turmoil after Tomas begins a passionate affair with a younger woman, Agathe, played by Blue is the Warmest Colour star Adèle Exarchopoulos.
Taking place after the completion of Tomas’s latest film, the story explores all of the complexities, contradictions and cruelties of love and desire, as Martin begins an affair of his own. Sound good? Well, you’re in luck.
Dazed x MUBI Cinema Club will host a special screening of Passages at The Rio Cinema, Dalston on August 23, ahead of the film’s September 1 release date. After the screening, viewers will also be able to enjoy a Q&A session with Sachs himself, hosted by Jason Okundaye.
