El Topo
Renowned filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky‘s bizarre, ultra-violent and allegorical EL TOPO is an acid-trip Western set in two halves that have widely been compared to the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. In the first half, writer-director Jodorowsky performs something of a hat trick in his role

Eden
A throwback to the glory days of early 90s French electronica, director Mia Hansen-Løve’s EDEN (a critical hit at 2014’s Toronto Film Festival) marries the music of the era with a compelling dramatic narrative. Inspired by the musings of Hansen-Løve’s brother Sven (a well-known Parisian DJ at the time), EDEN
Ed Wood
