The delightful cast enhances this remake.
Catherine Deneuve is a delight throughout. Her deadpan delivery hovers between bemusement and elegance.
An engaging, salty-sweet film that drills down on how much our dreams cost us.
Kevin Macdonald’s documentary centers on John Lennon’s final full-length live concert, held in 1972.
A film that forces its audience to confront the sounds of conflict—both the loudness and the mundane silence—and does so with brutal efficiency.
Bruce LaBruce’s reworking of Pier Paolo Pasolini’s 1968 Teorema is sex-positive, celebratory, and feverishly explicit.
Among the festival’s rich selection, three must-see highlights stand out, all still seeking distribution in the United States.
The directorial debut of Michael Shannon, based on a play by Brett Neveu.
