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.

Writer-director Carmen Emmi handcuffs obsession to power in this confident debut set in ‘90s New York, detecting erotic fixations in homophobic policing.

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.

Take a tumble down the rabbit holes of internet culture with this uncanny coming-of-age tale from director Jane Schoenbrun. Skirting the boundaries of horror, We’re All Going to the World’s Fair is a nerve-shredding fever dream of collective psychosis from the dark heart of the online zeitgeist.
