‘Climax’ (2018)
In 1996, a professional French dance troupe rehearses for an upcoming performance in an abandoned school for multiple days. But on the last day of rehearsal, the group’s celebratory afterparty turns nightmarish when someone spikes the bowl of sangria with LSD. Quickly, the euphoria of the jubilant dancers turns dark, chaotic and bloody, as they suffer horrific hallucinations and resort to acts of violence while being trapped in the school during a snowstorm. Now a struggle for survival, each dancer tries desperately to make it through the night.
Though a challenging viewing, Climax is a riveting, mesmerizing collage of different people falling into despair and madness, and watching it might feel like falling into madness too. While there is no supernatural or serial killer element to the film, there is plenty of shock, violence and horror as the drug-induced mania turns these regular people into monstrous versions of themselves born of their own insecurities and paranoia. Climax also features some impressive dance choreography and a stand-out performance from Sofia Boutella.
‘A.I. Artificial Intelligence’ (2001)
Grieving their own child who’s been condemned to a vegetative state, Henry Swinton (Sam Robards) and his wife Monica (Frances O’Connor) tentatively adopt the prototype of an 11-year-old mecha-child who is capable of experiencing and giving love. Monica eventually warms to the child, named David (Osment), and she allows him to imprint on her. But when their real son (Jake Thomas) miraculously recovers and comes home, his jealousy towards David causes a chain reaction of unfortunate events and David’s eventual abandonment into the world, where he seeks to become a real boy.
Devastating and beautiful in equal measure, A.I. Artificial Intelligence is a profound exploration of what it means to be human from one of the best humanist blockbuster filmmakers of all time. Intended to be helmed by Stanley Kubrick, the 2001 director gave the film to Steven Spielberg before he died in 1999, and the movie bears the unmistakable imprint of both extremely different directors. Still, A.I. is a Spielberg film through and through, in its overwhelming spectacle and strong emotional core. Plus, Osment’s performance as David is arguably the best child acting ever put to film.
‘In the Cut’ (2003)
Working-class New York City teacher Frannie Avery (Meg Ryan) becomes embroiled in a grisly homicide when the dismembered arm of a murdered woman is found in her garden. Interrogated by the sexually aggressive Detective Giovanni Malloy (Mark Ruffalo), the pair’s relationship moves from professional to passionate. As bodies continue to pile up, Frannie suspects she may have already encountered the killer, in this gritty noir that dissects sex, gender and the horror of living in a man’s world.
When In the Cut released back in 2003, it was highly polarizing and panned by most critics. But the movie gained a cult following, and in recent years has seen critical reevaluation as a successful female erotic thriller that subverts misogynistic tropes like the femme fatale and the male gaze. With keen, intelligent direction from Jane Campion, In the Cut is a difficult but blistering examination of patriarchal power dynamics.
‘Her Smell’ (2018)
Self-destructive rock musician Becky Something (Elisabeth Moss) helps to bring her band, Something She, into the spotlight with her immense talent, but that rise to fame is quickly dashed by Becky’s own behavior. Her Smell is told in five separate scenes from different periods of Becky’s life, highlighting her fraught relationships with her bandmates, her family, her ex-husband and her spiral to the bottom — from which perhaps she can finally find redemption.
Alex Ross Perry’s stressful yet captivating drama is a tour-de-force showcase for Moss, who commands the challenging role with unshakeable verve and total commitment to the character. Her Smell brings the toxic rock-and-roll lifestyle away from the glitz and glamor and into the ugly reality through the sharp script written by Perry. The movie co-stars Dan Stevens, Cara Delevingne and Ashley Benson.
‘Down by Law’ (1986)
In New Orleans, three disparate men converge in a jail cell: Jack (John Lurie), a dispassionate pimp, Zack (Tom Waits), a listless disc jockey and Roberto (Roberto Benigni), a goofy Italian tourist arrested for a gambling dispute turned violent. Zack and Jack have both been set up for crimes they haven’t committed, and it’s Robert who finds a way for the three of them to escape from jail. The men, constantly at odds with one another, set out to evade capture and leave the state.

Famed indie director Jim Jarmusch crafts another uniquely American film about uniquely American anxieties. Funny and poetic, Down by Law is a grounded and hypnotic portrait of ennui, the idea of the American Dream and of longing for a better life but being too lazy to get there. Waits, Lurie and Benigni have incredible chemistry as three men forced to be in proximity of each other: Benigni as the impossibly cheerful Roberto, with Lurie and Waits only united by their sheer hatred of him.
