Perfect for Halloween weekend! This adaptation of Ray Bradbury's dark fantasy—about a diabolical carnival that moves into a small town to prey on its inhabitants—stars Jason Robards and Jonathan Pryce and features a lyrical script by Bradbury himself.

"A tart, brilliantly acted fable of life’s little cosmic difficulties." (Chicago Tribune)

The Coen Brothers' (No Country for Old Men) signature humor and cinematic imagination take on questions of faith, familial responsibility, delinquent behavior, dental phenomena, academia, mortality, and Judaism in their hot awaited new film, A Serious Man. It’s the story of Larry Gopnik, a suburban Jewish physics professor who is plagued with a dysfunctional family, a vindictive neighbor, and a grade-grubbing foreign exchange student who is threatening his long-nurtured chance for tenure. In a moment of existential desperation, he turns to three rabbis for help. Can anyone help him cope with his afflictions and become a righteous person—a mensch—a serious man?

“(Untitled) takes on the New York art and music worlds in one smart and funny swoop.” (LA Times)

Jonathan Parker’s clever art-world satire (Untitled) covers the New York art and music scene in a shrewd, vivid portrayal which at once balances "observational farce and heightened reality" (LA Times). Featuring a wonderful cast, including Adam Goldberg (Two Days In Paris, Saving Private Ryan ) as a brooding, neurotic composer and a glowing Marley Shelton as an unpredictable gallerist, co-writers  Parker and Catherine DiNapoli affectionately capture their impassioned struggles with artistic and romantic conflicts while lampooning the contemporary art scene.

"An eye-opening portrait ... it leaves you off balance, in the best possible way." -  (LA Times)

Recipient of Sundance's World Cinema Jury Prize, Chilean director Sebastián Silva's complex, comedic drama is at once "both riveting character study and corrosive social commentary" (LA Times). Based in part on events from his childhood, Silva's The Maid deftly explores traditions of class division while dissecting the tensions among the members of a comfortably middle-class Latin American family and their live-in maid of 23 years. Catalina Saavedra, winner of the Sundance Special Jury Prize for Acting in the role of the long-suffering servant Raquel, delivers a remarkable, humanizing performance as a bitter and introverted woman with homicidal tendencies.
