Giant (2026)

Nicholas Hytner · 136 min · Letterboxd ↗

Set in the summer of 1983, just before the release of The Witches, Giant imagines a tense meeting between Roald Dahl and his American and British publishers as they scramble to contain the fallout from his public denunciation of Israel and defence of the Palestinians in a review of a book on the 1982 Lebanon war. Filmed live onstage at the Harold Pinter Theatre in London's West End in 2025.

Giant screens 4 times at The Chiswick Cinema between Thursday 19 November and Wednesday 2 December.
