Perfect Days

The work of an artist with nothing to prove, with a hand at the wheel so sure you don’t even notice it.

Driving Madeleine

As the title character, Line Renaud is a true force of nature.

The Crime Is Mine

A charming, effervescent, and smart addition to François Ozon’s always fast-moving, fast-changing body of work.

The Strangler

An intriguing, elegantly-crafted psychological portrait that is a hidden gem in the horror genre.
