Film-Forward

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

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.

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

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

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

A young woman comes across a troubled family and its secrets.

A rollicking, emotionally charged journey that captures the wonder, danger, and unexpected friendships one might find while exploring the cosmos.

A somewhat spare film visually and narratively, undertone primarily runs on its masterful sonic design.
