Film editor Oliver Weir gives you the best double bills for your next pandemic movie night. [Posters merged by Elizabeth Ferial]

High and Low & Parasite  

Kurosawa’s fantastic crime drama, together with possibly the greatest movie of the 21st century, will provide thrills as well as a cutting exploration of class dynamics and retribution

Aguirre, The Wrath of God &  Apocalypse Now (Theatrical Release)  

Both maintain a beauty beyond description as they descend into the depths of hell. 

The Wages of Fear & Sorcerer
