Iconic auteur Jim Jarmusch’s acclaimed return to anthology filmmaking abounds with wryly resonant observations on the family unit. Sketching finely detailed portraits with its starry ensemble cast (including a gloriously rumpled Tom Waits), this offbeat triptych finds universals in idiosyncrasies.

Plunging into the viscera of human bodies, the directorial duo behind Leviathan open up glistening worlds of ecstatic abstraction. Never shrinking from grit or guts, this fascinating documentary surfaces in underfunded Parisian hospitals, where doctors inject a good dose of humor into disrepair.
