Moldovan baritone Andrey Zhilikhovsky stars as Figaro, the ingenious barber of Seville, with Hungarian bass-baritone Peter Kálmán as Dr. Bartolo and Russian bass Alexander Vinogradov as Don Basilio rounding out the principal cast. Giacomo Sagripanti conducts Bartlett Sher's madcap production.

NZIFF25 Hard Boiled 4K (M)
One of the most iconic films in the history of not only Hong Kong cinema, but in the history of action cinema in general, Hard Boiled heavily inspired modern action films such as the John Wick franchise. Standing against the test of time it is still as enjoyable and entertaining as it was when it originally reached international audiences in the early 90s. Chow Yun-fat having a gun fight with gangsters in an exploding hospital while carrying a baby and singing a lullaby simultaneously is something that must be seen to be believed. Hard Boiled was legendary action director John Woo's last film before decamping to Hollywood. Here, he is at the peak of his powers. With a cast featuring Chow Yun-fat (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) as Tequila, the rule bending police officer that is too trigger happy for his own good and Tony Leung (In the Mood for Love) as Andy, the undercover cop deep in the triad's inner circle. Together they go up against a gang of arms smugglers in a ruthless gun-fu bullet ballet with no boundaries in sight. — Jordan Salomen
NZIFF25 Urchin (R16)
This raw, engaging directorial debut feature from rising star, Harris Dickinson (Babygirl, Triangle of Sadness), offers a sympathetic portrait of a homeless drug addict. Mike (Frank Dillane) has hit rock bottom and is trying to put his life back together after a stint in prison. Through a freewheeling narrative, Urchin effectively captures the rollercoaster of emotions and setbacks that come with addiction, a declining mental state and dealing with a world that at times can lack empathy for the mentally ill. Frank Dillane's performance is the highlight as he carries the character through repeated incidents of self-destruction followed by attempts to claw his way back into the rat race. At times hilarious and other times terrifying, Mike is someone you've seen before, someone that you see on the street causing drama, the prospective employee coming to job interviews with big gaps in their CV, your friend that is sweet and outgoing but also an expert on self-sabotage. While the film doesn't offer any answers, it paints a realistic portrait that wants to help others understand the trap of poverty and addiction. — Jordan Salomen
