WATCH GREAT CINEMA

Jack Begert’s thrilling debut eyes the City of Angels through a prism of perspectives and coincidences. Scrappy, gritty, and darkly funny, Junk is a hallucinatory slacker odyssey about two generations caught between apathy, anxiety, and the search for meaning.

Jane Schoenbrun returns with a new kind of remake, carving up slasher conventions with surreal, campy abandon. Newly-minted scream queens Hannah Einbinder and Gillian Anderson are a revelatory pairing, bringing wit, deep feeling, and sultry eroticism to this visionary dissection of movie nostalgia.

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.

Love and obsession are two sides of the same coin in this daring thriller from The Bear writer-producer Alex Russell, featuring rising stars Archie Madekwe and Théodore Pellerin. In a glitzy LA ruled by social currency, Lurker luxuriates in the suspense and the dark irony of celebrity worship.

Expectation-defying rap icon André 3000 lends his enchanting presence to this twinkling short film, made to accompany his recent suite of jazzy piano improvisations. Suffused with the energy of André’s nimble-fingered playing, 7 piano sketches saunters with the expressiveness of a silent comedy.

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.
