Pablo Larraín takes a dazzling look at sex, power, and family in modern-day Chile in this highly combustible mix of dance and drama. With an electrifying score by Nicolas Jaar, Ema is a whirlwind of no-holds-barred anarchy, anchored by searing turns from Mariana Di Girolamo and Gael García Bernal.

With its languid cinematography, Julia Loktev’s mesmerizing second feature takes us on a zig-zagging journey with a couple—played by Gael García Bernal and Hani Furstenberg—who have to suddenly confront the limits of what defines human relationships. What is left unsaid can be far more powerful.
