30 days of great cinema

Bret Easton Ellis’s provocative brand of heedless hedonism and bone-deep cynicism is translated to the screen in style in this gloriously pulpy adaptation. Bolstered by a soundtrack as cool and edgy as its antiheroes, The Rules of Attraction captures both teenage angst and the urge to escape it.

Multi-hyphenate artist Miranda July wrote, directed, and starred in her Cannes-winning feature debut: a sparkling, offbeat subversion of the classic romantic comedy. Daring to wear its heart on its sleeves, this infectiously optimistic film champions vulnerability in the search for true connection.
