Nearly 20 years after SIDEWAYS, director Alexander Payne and actor Paul Giamatti reunite in Payne’s latest about the bond that forms between a curmudgeonly professor, his belligerent student and the school’s head cook — all of whom are stuck at their elite New England boarding school over winter break.

This satirical swipe at celebrity and groupthink from writer-director Kristoffer Borgli (SICK OF MYSELF) stars Nicolas Cage as an inconspicuous academic who is thrust into the limelight after he starts inexplicably appearing in people’s dreams.

A lyrical, decades-spanning exploration across a woman's life in Mississippi, the feature debut from award-winning poet, photographer and filmmaker Raven Jackson is a haunting and richly layered portrait, a beautiful ode to the generations of people and places that shape us.

Already acclaimed as a masterpiece in Japan, Hayao Miyazaki’s new film begins as a simple story of loss and love, and rises to a staggering work of imagination — an especially precious gift, and possibly the final film we will see from one of cinema’s greatest artists.

Jeffrey Wright stars as a respected author in Cord Jefferson’s adaptation of Percival Everett’s 2001 novel Erasure — a wicked satire about the commodification of marginalized voices, a wildly entertaining send-up of our hunger for so-called authenticity, and a portrait of an artist forced to re-examine his integrity.

Award-winning filmmaker Aki Kaurismäki makes a masterful return with this timeless, hopeful and ultimately satisfying love story about two lonely souls’ path to happiness — and the numerous hurdles they encounter along the way.

Esteemed documentarian Frederick Wiseman’s latest is a food-lover’s heaven — a long, behind-the-scenes excursion into the world of France’s venerable restaurant La Maison Troisgros, which has held three Michelin stars for more than five decades. A perfect film to end the year, or to start a new one. Post-film dinner plans are highly recommended.
