ANORA: This Palme d’Or winner follows a turbulent relationship between a New York–based exotic dancer and the son of a Russian oligarch.
BONJOUR TRISTESSE: Bonjour Tristesse, Durga Chew-Bose’s adaptation of Françoise Sagan’s unforgettable coming-of-age novel of the same name, is a sun-soaked heralding of a singular artist.
CONCLAVE: Oscar nominees Ralph Fiennes and Stanley Tucci lead a brilliant ensemble cast in All Quiet on the Western Front director Edward Berger’s stunning adaption of Robert Harris’ high-stakes drama, in which Cardinals gather at the Vatican to elect a new Pope.
DISCO'S REVENGE: This loving, vivacious doc chronicles disco’s trajectory, from its origins in the early 70s through its harsh repudiation in the early 80s to its triumphant rebirth as house music. Directors Peter Mishara and Omar Majeed use interviews, needle drops, and a treasure trove of archival footage to convey not only the facts about the genre, but the feel of it as well.
PRESENCE: Oscar-winning director Steven Soderbergh shakes the horror genre to life by adopting the point of view of a housebound spirit, granting us singular access to a family passing through troubled times — and casting an unforgettably eerie atmosphere.
RUMOURS: Cate Blanchett (The New Boy) joins a strong ensemble cast and plays the German chancellor in Rumours, an absurd satire of a G7 world leaders meeting that spins wildly out of control — the latest from co-directors Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson, and Galen Johnson.
SHOOK: Struggling writer Ashish is thrown for several loops when he falls for barista Claire and learns his estranged father has just been diagnosed with Parkinson’s, in Amar Wala’s first dramatic feature.
SHARP CORNER: After a car crashes into his front yard, a family man develops an unhealthy obsession with being ready for the next accident. And the next.
THE END: Joshua Oppenheimer, known for his groundbreaking documentary The Act of Killing, makes his fiction debut with this sombre musical about a family in denial at the end of the world, starring Tilda Swinton, Michael Shannon, George MacKay, and Moses Ingram.
THE MOTHER AND THE BEAR: When her grown daughter Sumi has a bad fall in Winnipeg, anxious widow Sara (Kim Ho-jung) travels from Korea to be with her — and discovers she doesn't really know Sumi at all.
THE SEED OF THE SACRED FIG: From renowned filmmaker Mohammad Rasoulof, The Seed of the Sacred Fig (winner of the Special Jury Prize at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival) is a social drama turned cat-and-mouse thriller that will have you at the edge of your seat.
