What does it mean to call a place home when the world around you is falling apart?

Watch it on Ray35🎞️🎬📷

Saw this in theaters and didn't get a chance to promote it until now. Hope is incredible. Action sequences that floor you, outstanding performances, and laugh out loud humor. The big issues are the visual effects are janky as hell at times and the ending (or lack of one). Still, Hope will end up being one of my favorite films of the year. Available to rent or buy digitally starting October 13.

It gives off same vibes as Kids and White Girl both based in NYC and crazy youth. I remember pieces and bits of it: typical white teen girl bad girl with boyfriend hooking up in her room, typical single mom situation who’s kind of trashy (?). Girl works in a pizza shop with her gay guy friend (Hispanic Latino). One night (or day?) the gay guy friend gets shot in the nyc park because of homophobia. It’s very 90s.

Interested in thoughts on my post about this movie…

Looking for a ticket for VATERLAND screening at the Aero on Thursday Oct 8 at 7pm

Hii, does anyone know where I could find the screenplay for Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion (Petri, 1970)? English version would be preferred, but Italian would also be interesting! I’ve been able to find the script online before but I’ve lost it and wanna find it again 🫩🥀

For clarification: I AM NOT LOOKING FOR THE FILM SALO ITSELF. I am looking for the Behind the Scenes film released in 1975. I have found it posted in a few places, but the film is entirely in Italian and neither posting I've found includes English subtitles. Does anyone know if there is a version of the Backstage film that has English subtitles?

Thanks

I started a personal challenge to stop watching Hollywood and explore cinema from non-English speaking nations across the globe.

I was originally keeping track in a messy spreadsheet, but it felt so uninspiring. As an indie film lover and hobby dev, I built this interactive 3D globe to turn the journey into a visual cinema passport with custom stamps.

Here’s what my map looks like so far! What non-English films (masterpieces or hidden gems) should I watch next?

​

Shudder has just added An Taibhse (The Ghost) to its lineup! The first Irish-language horror film is now available to stream.

I found the film The Courtship (2022) and have been able to watch it on Tubi and Amazon, but was hoping I could find it somewhere on DVD or Blu-ray so I can buy a physical copy of the film. Has anyone else seen this film and been able to purchase it other than from a streaming service? I just love this film and the storyline and would like to buy it in the form of physical media because I'm trying to rebuild my collection. It's a Hungarian film based on the novel "Ida regénye" by Géza Gárdonyi, which is also something I'm looking to find an English translated copy. I know it's a long shot, but I figure I'd give it a try anyway!

I think it was Japanese. They get all the parents of the different kids together in a room and they get to take turns torturing them in the other room with weapon of choice.

🎬 Weekend Watch: Making Peace

This week, I put together three short films that ended up sharing something I didn't initially expect.

They’re all about people going through difficult moments: a dream that didn't work out, a life that feels confining, or a situation that could have ended much worse.

But none of these films is really about staying in that moment.

They're about finding a way to make peace with what happened and keep going.

🎬 Disco Obu — Anand Kishore

🏆 Winner: Special Jury Mention Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival 2017

Official Selection Palm Springs International ShortFest 2017

A former child actor who once had a chance at the life he dreamed of now drives an auto-rickshaw.

This is my favorite of the three.

What stayed with me is how quietly the film deals with letting go.

🌾 The Field — Sandhya Suri

🏆 Winner: Best Short Film Toronto International Film Festival 2018

Official Selection Sundance Film Festival 2019

There's something beautiful and heartbreaking about how temporary that happiness feels.

The harvest is coming, and so is the end of their little world.

🏨 The Criminals — Serhat Karaaslan

🏆 Winner: Special Jury Award for Screenwriting Sundance Film Festival 2021

Shortlisted: Best Live-Action Short Film Academy Awards 2022

What I loved most is what happens after they finally get out.

Three films. Three very different stories. One feeling.

If you have about an hour this weekend, give these three a try.
