WATCH GREAT CINEMA

Oedipus wrecks in this vigorous domestic provocation from director Karim Aïnouz and Dogtooth screenwriter Efthimis Filippou. With an all-star cast that includes Elle Fanning, Callum Turner, and Riley Keough, Rosebush Pruning is a wickedly cutthroat satire of class, fashion, and privilege.

Charging the pugilistic blows of the prison thriller with sociopolitical force, Wasteman drags its viewer into the chaos of Britain’s dysfunctional carceral system. Rising stars David Jonsson and Tom Blyth prove their mettle, delivering fierce one-twos in this brutal glimpse of life on the inside.

Explosive, lava-hot desire—and a literal volcanic eruption—threaten staid bourgeois routines in this stylish force-of-nature romance. Revealing the dramatic talents of zeitgeist-catching singer Charli XCX (who stars), Erupcja burns with all the yearning of an endless summer’s night in Warsaw.

Acclaimed Romanian auteur Radu Jude throws the Dracula myth into the blender of modern commodity culture, reassembling the undead pieces into a grotesquerie of digital-media stupidity. Anarchic, obscene, and utterly hypnotic, this monstrous AI satire is an intravenous hit of 21st-century absurdity.
