What Richard Did

Up until yesterday, he was the most envied and popular teenager in his school. Gorgeous, athletic and clever, Richard was a first-class role model for any boy his age. A thoughtless act in the heat of the moment will cost him a lot more than his good reputation.

Up until yesterday, he was the most envied and popular teenager in his school. Gorgeous, athletic and clever, Richard was a first-class role model for any boy his age. A thoughtless act in the heat of the moment will cost him a lot more than his good reputation.

Irish-born Lenny Abrahamson’s all-powerful drama, traces a morally and psychologically ambiguous tale of guilt in modern-day Dublin and the unbearable loneliness of being helpless and alone in a world where the dual concepts of justice and injustice aren’t always clear.

Despite his minimal acting experience, Jack Reynor is unforgettable in a demanding leading role, pushing his character to take on tragic dimensions that only add to this quietly devastating film. L.K.

Upstream Color

Kris and Jeff are inexplicably drawn together by an irresistible force, unveiling a forgotten past they never knew existed. Walking the fine line between love story and thriller against a sci-fi backdrop, Carruth creates a cinematic experience full of fascinating imagery that's definitely worth a try.

Spring Breakers

Harmony Korine's latest provocative effort is, without any hint of exaggeration, the guiltiest pleasure of the film season, capturing four young girls in a violent, heavily sexualized Spring Break frenzy.

My Sweet Pepper Land

A bitter sense of humour and atmospheric musical inserts complete a modest work of art, which rightfully gained a lot of supporters in the last Cannes Film Festival.

Much Ado About Nothing

What is ?The Avengers? director doing in a romantic comedy inspired by Shakespeare's ?Much Ado About Nothing?? I'll let you know what he's doing: he has written and directed it, he has composed and recorded the score and he's even helmed the production, just to prove he's a little more than every comic book nerd's new favorite director.

Jiseul

Based on a bloody page in South Korean history that is all but forgotten, Muel O. zeroes in on the attempts of an entire village to escape certain death by hiding out in underground caves, faced with freezing temperatures, starvation and fear. Avoiding a traditional reenactment, the director chooses to highlight intimate moments on both sides of the fence.

India Blues

The relationship between two very different men filtered through eight different emotional states they experience: pain, desire, happiness, jealousy, peace, love and anger. Significant and insignificant moments in their common trajectory spark an exploration of the chaotic universe of love and the tumultuous emotions that follow suit.
