POOR THINGS

Watch Trailer Director: Yorgos Lanthimos
Cast: Emma Stone, Willem Dafoe, Mark Ruffalo
Awards: Venice Int'l Film Fest - Golden Lion

A steampunk fantasy with a black-comedy bent, Poor Things is the story of Bella, a young dead girl resurrected by her guardian, the scientist Dr. Godwin Baxter. As she sheds her naïveté, her eagerness to discover the wonders of the world leads her to run off with a hedonistic lawyer to explore not only the globe but also her inner self. Bizarre, visually stunning, and critically-acclaimed, Poor Things is, at its heart, a tale of the liberation of the spirit.

From the visionary mind of Academy Award-winning director Yorgos Lanthimos (The Lobster, The Favorite), this film features a cosmopolitan ensemble cast including such Hollywood heavy-weights as Emma Stone, Willem Dafoe, and Mark Ruffalo.

CASSANDRO

Watch Trailer Director: Roger Ross Williams
Cast: Gael Garcia Bernal, Roberta Colindrez, Bad Bunny

Set in the 1980’s, Cassandro is a true-to-life dramatic account of Saúl Armendáriz, a gay man from El Paso, Texas who embarks on a career as a professional wrestler. Eventually, he opts to cross the border into Juárez where he becomes part of the “lucha libre” scene – Mexico’s unique style of high-flying, no-holds-barred wrestling. When he meets new trainer Sabrina, she compels him to let his flamboyant flag fly by performing as an “exótico”, a type of luchador known for wrestling in drag and adopting a sassy and undignified demeanor in the ring. Once Armendáriz fully embraces his new persona as Cassandro, his star begins to rise and he becomes a champion.

In his first departure from documentary filmmaking, Cassandro was written and directed by Roger Ross Williams, the first African-American director to win an Academy Award. This film stars Gael Garcia Bernal, Roberta Colindrez, and Bad Bunny.

KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON

Watch Trailer Director: Martin Scorsese
Cast: Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert DeNiro, Jesse Plemmons, Lily Gladstone

When a spate of mysterious murders sweeps through the Osage Indian nation in Oklahoma in the early 1920’s, the Bureau of Investigation (an early 20th-century precursor to the FBI) sends agents into the frontier to investigate the matter. The murders coincide with the discovery of massive oil deposits on the Osage land, and the murders seem to be tied to the newfound wealth that begins to permeate the once-poverty-stricken tribespeople.

With its perfect genre blend of drama, Western, and crime noir, Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon is the highly-anticipated adaptation of the critically-acclaimed 2017 non-fiction book of the same name. The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert DeNiro, Jesse Plemmons, and Lily Gladstone.

DUMB MONEY

Watch Trailer Director: Craig Gillespie
Cast: Paul Dano, Pete Davidson, Vincent D'Onofrio, Nick Offerman, America Georgina Ferrara

The “Game Stop short squeeze” of 2021 was one of the wildest financial rides in the modern history of the New York Stock Exchange: Never before had amateur traders been able to go head-to-head against the deep pockets of ultra-rich hedge funds to make (and, well, lose) a fortune in such a short timeframe. Dumb Money brings the drama, excitement, and pure bizarre-ness of this extraordinary event to the big screen — a veritable nerdy-David-vs-UHNWI-Goliath tale for the ages!

With an ensemble cast of all-star talent that includes Paul Dano as financial analyst Keith Gill, Seth Rogen as hedge-funder Gabe Plotkin, and Sebastian Stan as Robinhood App CEO Vlad Tenev, Dumb Money is based on the book The Anti-Social Network by Ben Mezrich and directed by Craig Gillespie (Lars and the Real Girl, Pam & Tommy, Mike).

THE BEAST

Watch Trailer Director: Bertrand Bornello
Cast: Léa Seydoux, George MacKay

The Beast (Fr. La Béte) mixes sci-fi, romance, and drama to put an ultra-modern spin on the Henry James novel, The Beast in the Jungle, that served as an inspiration for the screenplay.

In a not-too-distant future where emotions are viewed as a threat to the social order, a young woman, Gabrielle, attempts to eradicate her strong feelings by purifying her DNA in a machine that puts her in touch with her past lives. Later, she meets a young man named Louis and begins to sense a powerful connection to him as though they have known one another before. As the story unfolds through 3 separate eras – 1910, 2014 and 2044 – Gabrielle comes face-to-face with her fate, a thing that heretofore had seemed to be lying in wait for her like a “beast in the jungle.”

Directed by Bertrand Bornello, the film stars Léa Seydoux and George MacKay.

ALL DIRT ROADS TASTE OF SALT

Watch Trailer Director: Raven Jackson
Cast: Charlene McClure, Moses Ingram, Chris Chalk

The debut film from writer/director Raven Jackson, All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt is a poetic journey through the life of Mack, a black woman living in modern-day rural Mississippi. The sparsely-dialogued plot follows Mack throughout several portions of her life, from childhood to old age, as she experiences love, loss, fear, joy…all the myriad sentiments that make a life a Life.

Jackson’s choice to utilize multiple actors for several characters as they age in the film really helps to elevate the sense of time passing as the story moves through the decades. Also, the movie was filmed on location in rural southern towns that have changed very little over the course of the last half-a-century, and this gives the film a very strong “sense of place”.

All Dirt Roads is a masterful debut and masterpiece of lyricality:  not only a moving portrayal of a life, but also a moving portrait of life in the Deep South.
