A controversy stormed, the Dogme 95 movement took center stage, and an angry critic got kicked out of the Cannes screening. When the dust settled, Lars von Trier was left with this poignant, boundary-pushing film, which explores the very price of provocation. Presented here in a new restoration!

Surfaces appear diamond-hard in this modern melodrama, but expensive looks can be deceiving. Gliding through white middle-class America with serene sadness, actor Dina Korzun is astonishing as a detached interloper in Ira Sachs’s masterful film of betrayal, heartache, and hushed ecstasy.

Premiering at Sundance, this indie is a sensitive look at the lifecycle of an imperfect match. Director Ira Sachs based the script on his own personal relationship, but transcends the personal aspects of his experience to form a universal and resonant look at the bonds formed through a partnership.
