Risking ellipses and question marks, Canadian director Kazik Radwanski traces the ambiguous forms that romance can take with Matt and Mara. Through the surprises and genuine laughs of improvisation, the talented leads articulate a rare, real attraction for which there are, ordinarily, only clichés.

Playing an awkward, cowardly version of himself with self-deprecation, director Julian Radlmaier toys with ideas of radical politics in this knowing and colorful film. Deragh Campbell costars—charmingly irreverent next to a collective of bigheaded men who argue about how to organize a better world.

Filmed on a bygone video camera, Stinking Heaven immerses you in the darkest crevices of the 1990s: a rehab commune housing a coven of colorful yet caustic personalities. A lucid vision of Sartre’s assertion that “hell is other people,” written with an utmost sincere sense of anarchy. Oddly sublime.
