Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
L FOR LEISURE
Synopsis
Set in the early 1990s, the film features a group of hedonistic students who jet from one upscale vacation spot to the next, tossing off deadpan one-liners about the end of history and race as a social construct along the way. Their favourite activity: talking endlessly.

Our take
The feature debut from directors Whitney Horn and Lev Kalman, L for Leisure is a caustically ironic, 90s-set arthouse drama about hedonistic friends on holiday. Equal parts coy and droll, its deadpan and nostalgic recreation of 90s American hipsterism is very reminiscent of Whit Stillman.
