A 2025 action-comedy that was hailed as one of the most celebrated films of the year will show at 6pm at the Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute.

Audiences can enjoy One Battle After Another in the BUEI’s Tradewinds Auditorium, which is wheelchair accessible.

Directed by acclaimed film-maker Paul Thomas Anderson, One Battle After Another emerged as a standout at the 98th Academy Awards, where it garnered six Oscars — including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay.

The film also won Best Supporting Actor (Sean Penn), Best Film Editing and the Academy’s newly introduced award for Best Casting, sealing its place as one of the year’s top cinematic achievements.

Adapted from Thomas Pynchon’s novel Vineland, One Battle After Another follows Bob, a washed-up revolutionary living off the grid with his teenage daughter, Willa.
