Sam Clements talks to filmmaker Richard Linklater about his new film, Hit Man - in cinemas now, and coming to Netflix for the summer.
Gary Johnson (Glen Powell) is a straight-laced professor with a dangerous secret identity: he's a hitman. Sort of.
Working undercover to entrap criminals for the local police department, Gary falls into the role of 'hitman' with surprising ease. But his talents for disguises hit a roadblock when he meets, and starts to fall for, prospective client Madison (Adria Arjona) – until layers upon layers of deceit turn their budding romance upside down.

Hosted by Picturehouse’s very own Sam Clements, The Love Of Cinema podcast is proudly supported by Kia. On this mini episode, Sam talks to director Ryusuke Hamaguchi and composer Eiko Ishibashi about their new film, Evil Does Not Exist, in cinemas now!
Takumi and his daughter Hana live in Mizubiki Village, close to Tokyo.
Like generations before them, they live a modest life according to the cycles and order of nature.
One day, the village inhabitants become aware of a plan to build a glamping site near Takumi’s house; offering city residents a comfortable ‘escape’ to nature. When two company representatives from Tokyo arrive in the village to hold a meeting, it becomes clear that the project will have a negative impact on the local water supply, causing unrest.
The agency’s mismatched intentions endanger both the ecological balance of the nature plateau and their way of life, with an aftermath that affects Takumi’s life deeply.
From the director of Oscar® and BAFTA winner Drive My Car.
