Film-Forward

Our Hero, Balthazar

What, in this age of isolation and the male loneliness epidemic, are all the sad young men up to?

Reunion

Rarely seen since the early 1990s, this haunting memory piece, written by Harold Pinter and directed by Jerry Schatzberg, returns to the screen.

The Drama

Can a revelation from the past be decisive enough to doom a relationship?

Living the Land

Living the Land makes its points about the loss of a certain way of life in the face of inevitable modernism gently and memorably.

The Stranger

François Ozon’s adaptation of Albert Camus’s novel is filled with details that enrich and contextualize the status of colonial France in Algeria through a critical lens.

Pompei: Below the Clouds

Gianfranco Rosi has created a somber, eerie study of Naples in black and white. Sometimes the city looks part crime scene, part modern-day ruin.

Kontinental ’25

Kontinental ’25 shows a gentler side of Radu Jude’s cynical worldview and tackles issues of existential morality in an almost level-headed manner.

Yes

It is hard to make films about current events so soon after they have occurred.

Late Shift

A deeply political and socially relevant film about the pressure on nurses and those we once called “frontline workers.”
