Mom and Dad’s Nipple Factory (Dir. Justinsuperstar, 2024)

• • When Randi is diagnosed with breast cancer, her introverted husband Brian, a traditional family man, transforms their modest Midwest home into a secret prosthetic nipple laboratory, an act of love that blossoms into a truly unexpected business, kept hidden from their church, small-town community, and five unsuspecting children.

Let the Corpses Tan (Dirs. Hélène Cattet, Bruno Forzani, 2018)

• • Belgian filmmakers Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani trade in the crushed velvet and creeping shadows of their giallo-worshiping first two films (Amer, The Strange Color of Your Body’s Tears) for blistering sun, creaking leather, and raining bullets in this glorious homage to 1970s Italian crime films.

April 10

Boyfriends and Girlfriends (Dir. Eric Rohmer, 1987)

• • In Boyfriends and Girlfriends (aka My Girlfriend’s Boyfriend), Rohmer’s witty Shakespearean roundelay involves the buttoned-up Blanche (Emmanuelle Chaulet, in a superb debut) and the free-spirited Lea (Sophie Renoir), and their current amours. The pair are tempted by each other’s love interests, testing their friendship and understanding of matters of the heart.

The Aviator’s Wife (Dir. Eric Rohmer, 1981)

• • The inaugural film of Eric Rohmer’s sparkling “Comedies and Proverbs” cycle, a young man sees his girlfriend’s ex leaving her apartment one early morning, and his imagination is off to the races.

The Blues Under the Skin (Dir. Roviros Manthoulis, 1973)

• • In the early 1970s, during a resurgence of interest in the Delta blues, celebrated music documentarian Roviros Manthoulis traveled to the Mississippi Delta to capture on film the remnants of the authentic American blues. Filming intimate conversations and stunning performances by blues legends B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee, Mance Lipscomb, Bukka White, and Roosevelt Sykes, Manthoulis explored the emotional and sociopolitical factors that make the blues the most expressive and haunting of musical forms. Blurring the line between documentary and fiction, The Blues Under the Skin dramatizes the tumultuous relationship of a young couple (Onike Lee and Roland Sanchez) as they struggle to overcome the barriers of poverty and prejudice that keep them from finding happiness together. Virtually unseen in the U.S., The Blues Under the Skin is a thrilling rediscovery, an untapped cask of musical performances that document not only a range of vanishing musical forms, but provide a priceless glimpse of a vanished culture in the 1970s South.

Pervert’s Guide to Ideology (Dir. Sophie Fiennes, 2013)

• • Cultural theorist Slavoj Zizek re-teams with director Sophie Fiennes (The Pervert’s Guide to Cinema) for another wildly entertaining romp through the crossroads of cinema and philosophy. With infectious zeal and a voracious appetite for popular culture, Zizek (literally) goes inside some truly epochal movies to explore and expose how they reinforce prevailing ideologies.

April 24

5 Broken Cameras (Dirs. Guy Davidi, Emad Burnat, 2011)

• • An extraordinary work of both cinematic and political activism, 5 Broken Cameras is a deeply personal, first-hand account of non-violent resistance in Bil’in, a West Bank village threatened by encroaching Israeli settlements.

Buoyancy (Dir. Rodd Rathjen, 2019)

• • This story of a Cambodian teenager sold into forced labor on a Thai fishing boat is a passionate testimony against social injustice and a moving coming-of-age tale about a boy whose humanity is put to the test.

Being Maria (Dir. Jessica Palud, 2025)

• • Maria Schneider is a promising, young French actress. When she gets the lead in a feature film directed by an acclaimed Italian filmmaker and starring one of America’s most beloved actors, it seems like the opportunity of a lifetime. Her collaborators, director Bernardo Bertolucci and star Marlon Brando, seem to bring out the best in Maria, sharing a warm rapport and mentorship with the 19-year-old. Until one day, when the two men conspire to shoot a crucial sex scene as a harrowing assault without letting Maria in on the plan. The film goes on to be lauded as a fearless artistic breakthrough, but for Maria, it’s the beginning of a living hell. Based on the behind-the-scenes true story of the making of Last Tango in Paris, Jessica Palud’s sensitive biopic centers Maria’s story for the first time.

I’m All Right Jack (Dir. John Boulting, 1959)

• • Featuring an award-winning and uproarious performance from Peter Sellers, I’m All Right Jack is a classic British comedy with a satirical edge. Sellers plays both the stuffy financier Sir John Kennaway and the tragicomic trade union leader Fred Kite. Bertram Tracepurcel (Dennis Price) plans to make a fortune from a munitions contract, a scheme that involves manipulating his innocent nephew, Stanley Windrush (Ian Carmichael) into acting as the catalyst in a missile factory strike, from which the socialist Mr. Kite is only too keen to make capital.

April 22

The Cruel Sea (Dir. Charles Frend, 1953)

Filmed aboard an actual Royal Navy corvette, it tells the story of the sailors aboard the HMS Compass Rose: the bonds that form between them, the daily pressures they face, and their epic struggle to overcome the enemy. Based on the best-selling novel by Nicholas Monsarrat.
