Ten years before his Oscar® win for Another Round, Thomas Vinterberg examined the dark side of Denmark’s welfare state with this harrowing drama. Through a pair of remarkable central performances, Submarino lends a hard-earned grace to its spiritual portrait of unimaginable hardship and survival.

Director Harmony Korine has been a cult hero of American cinema for two decades now and Mister Lonely, one of his more low-key triumphs, shows his gift for oddball beauty and unique understanding of celebrity and outcasts. A strange, sweet, undiluted vision. Bonus: Herzog and Carax are in it!
