RECENT
GIRLFRIENDS
with director
CLAUDIA WEILL
Before "Francis Ha” there was “Girlfriends.” This wry and radically honest vision of female friendship became a touchstone for an entire sub-genre of films about young women trying to make it in the big city. In its insistent focus on a woman whose identity isn’t solely determined by her relationships with men, “Girlfriends” isn’t just thrilling — it’s radical.

ALICE ROHRWACHER
(NEON)
A marvelous and magical tale that possesses that rare something that makes you believe movies hold magic. Staring Josh O’Connor & Isabella Rossellini. Everyone has their own Chimera, something they try to achieve but never manage to find. For the thieves the Chimera means the dream of easy wealth. For Arthur, the Chimera looks like the woman he lost.
