WATCH GREAT CINEMA

With sharp wit and cathartic intensity, Coralie Fargeat turns toxic beauty culture inside out in her mind-blowing latest feature. Powered by a career-best performance from Demi Moore, The Substance fearlessly bulldozes its way into the midnight-movie pantheon and the feminist canon.

Reliving triumphs and controversies, fashion designer John Galliano takes center stage in this grippingly nuanced portrait from Oscar®-winner Kevin Macdonald. Star-studded interviews and rare archival footage reveal the toxicity behind exquisite glamor and spectacle, both on and off the runway.

Director Levan Akin centers the vital spirit of Istanbul’s trans community in this poignant story of unlikely connection. With three exquisite performances that vividly transcend generational divides, Crossing is a defiant city symphony and a compassionate tale of hope, identity, and forgiveness.

Getting sucked into an infinite loop of drugs, men and dizzying mystery? That’s one cure for writer’s block! Frolicking and squabbling across the beaches, clubs, and rooftops of Mexico, Sebastián Silva and Jordan Firstman play hilarious versions of themselves in this absurd and sexy meta-comedy.

British filmmaker Andrew Haigh is a jewel: a uniquely measured dramatist profoundly concerned with the inner lives of his characters. We adore his breakout feature, taking place over a stretched-out weekend, for its tender, sensual and poignantly realized evocation of the bliss of falling in love.

Evoking the fantastical eroticism and unapologetic camp of James Bidgood’s queer classic Pink Narcissus, British auteur Peter Strickland packs kitsch erotics with intense emotion into this saucy, shimmering short. A potent merger of desire and memory that is most definitely NSFW!
