As we venture towards the festive season, there’s lots to look forward to: Christmas lights, warming drinks, and the season finale of Stranger Things.<\/p>\n
But we’re not quite there yet – instead, the shadow of Halloween lingers as everyone’s favourite “Wicked Witch” returns to the big screen. Indeed, Wicked: For Good might just be the cinematic event of the year – and our thoughts are with all the poor cinema staff currently bracing for chaos.<\/p>\n
Of course, if musicals and mayhem aren’t your thing (but whimsy and Wes Anderson are), head to the Design Museum’s new exhibition instead where a delicious array of movie props and costumes await.<\/p>\n
For those that just want to snuggle up and lose themselves in some fictional dystopias, there’s Netflix’s new drama, Last Samurai Standing, as well as Vince Gilligan’s unsettling sci-fi, Pluribus<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n Whatever you decide, here’s to a week of “dancing through life”.<\/p>\n Wes Anderson: The Archives<\/strong><\/p>\n Model of the Grand Budapest Hotel. <\/span> – \u00a9 Thierry Stefanopoulos \u2013 La Cin\u00e9math\u00e8que fran\u00e7aise <\/span><\/p>\n When:<\/strong> 21 November 2025 – 26 July 2026<\/p>\n Where:<\/strong> Design Museum (London, UK)<\/p>\n We\u2019ve had a number of great Wes Anderson-themed European pop-ups and exhibitions<\/strong><\/a> over recent years, mostly linked to his recent releases Asteroid City<\/strong><\/a> and The Phoenician Scheme<\/strong><\/a>. For avid fans, however, this latest one at London\u2019s Design Museum might just be the cr\u00e8me de la cr\u00e8me. Featuring over 600 objects (most of which are being displayed in Britain for the first time), it captures the evolution of Anderson’s career – from his early ’90s experimentations to present works-in-progress. Highlights include Margot Tenenbaum’s iconic FENDI fur coat and a pastel pink model of the Grand Budapest Hotel.<\/p>\n MUNCH Triennale: Almost Unreal<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a9 Simone Forti, Huddle, 1976.

The MUNCH Triennale, now in its second year, explores this subject through a dazzling showcase of contemporary art that utilises old and new technologies to express their real-world impact. From the green glow of holograms to constellations of neon, it captures an intersection between futures: one filled with dystopian dread, the other adventurous optimism.<\/p>\n Bonus highlight:<\/strong> Brussels Design Market, one of the largest vintage design markets on the continent, takes place 22 to 23 November<\/p>\n Wicked: For Good<\/strong><\/p>\n Where:<\/strong> European cinemas<\/p>\n When:<\/strong> 21 November<\/p>\n What is this feeling? Excitement for the second and final instalment of Jon M. Chu\u2019s Wicked<\/strong><\/a>! We pick up where we left off, with Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) now a fugitive labelled as the Wicked Witch of the West, living in the Ozian forest following her refusal to support the corrupt Wizard (Jeff Goldblum) and his regime. While Glinda (Ariana Grande) soaks up the public’s adoration in Emerald City, the two must find a way to put their differences aside and restore peace in Oz.<\/p>\n 2025 European Award Season<\/strong><\/p>\n Where:<\/strong> Select cinemas across Europe<\/p>\n When:<\/strong> 18 November 2025 – 17 January 2026<\/p>\n Now in its third year, the European Film Academy’s Award Season (previously Month of Film) is an initiative to celebrate and make European cinema more accessible across the continent.
