Black Coal, Thin Ice

An ex-cop and his ex-partner decide to follow up on investigation of a series of murders that ended their careers and shamed them, when identical murders begin again. A majestic neo-noir from Yi’nan Diao, winner of the 2014 Golden Bear in Berlin.

The Stranger

Welles’ third film packs almost as many technical wonders as his Citizen Kane, and it’s a goosebumps-raiser: a suspenseful thriller about a restless quest to catch an ex-Nazi living in false identity in a small Connecticut town. It’s one of the director’s lesser known works, so here’s your chance to rediscover this ageless classic.

Good luck surviving this tour de force of a film, stashed with violence, torture, and unspeakable horror. Yes, this is the remake of Haneke’s 1997 German-speaking original, but it’s just as thrilling and stomach-churning.

Following the international triumph of Embrace of the Serpent, Ciro Guerra teamed up with Cristina Gallego to conjure this indelible look at the origins of the Colombian drug trade, as seen through the eyes of an indigenous Wayuu family that becomes involved in the US marijuana trade in the 1970s.

A 24-hour period in the lives of Fausto and Jesus, two undocumented Mexican day-laborers in L.A. Each day another task, each day the same pressure to find money. They go about their daily routine, standing on the corner at the Home Improvement Store waiting for work to come. Today, the job they are given is well paid compared to their poor usual wages. Today, Jesus carries a shotgun inside his backpack.

Court

Long before he was received the award for Best Script for his latest Golden Lion contender, The Disciple, Chaitanya Tamhane nabbed the top prize in the Orizzonti sidebar in 2014 with this devastating take on injustice and cast prejudice, featuring an old folk singer brought to court on farcical charges… here’s your chance to catch up with Tamhane’s debut feature, one of Venice’s greatest surprises.
