Popular high-school athlete Tyler (an astonishing Kelvin Harrison Jr. who also shines in Luce) lives a seemingly privileged life. An all-star wrestler with a loving girlfriend and a supportive, affluent family, he spends his days training, and his nights partying. But beneath the fragile veneer of perfection, cracks are beginning to show. Under constant scrutiny from his overbearing father, ignoring the reality of a potentially serious shoulder injury and reeling from an unexpected development in his romantic relationship, Tyler's world looks set to implode. As the pressures around him steadily mount, a series of events are put in motion which threaten not only Tyler's happiness, but also the lives of the people he loves the most. To give too much away would risk spoiling the unforeseen complexities of this devastating family drama, which consistently surprises and astounds with its bold narrative ambition and bravura visual language. Once again, Shults continues to prove himself one of contemporary cinema's most distinctive filmmaking talents, crafting an intricate tale which is at once bracingly experimental yet always emotionally accessible.   BFI.

North By Northwest

TIRED OLD

QUEEN

MOVIES


Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint are on the run from spies, the CIA and possibly each other in Alfred Hitchcock’s classic cross country tale of suspense, North By Northwest (1959).


With a supporting cast headed by a suave James Mason as the head of the spy ring, Martin Landau as his gay henchman and Jessie Royce Landis as the comic relief, playing Grant's wisecracking mother, it’s a witty, suspenseful, ride with a fabulous score by Bernard Herrmann, that will keep you on the edge of your seats from beginning to end.  Steve Hayes

Ocho (Juan Berberini) and Javi (Ramon Pujol) meet in Barcelona and after spending a day together they realize that they have already met twenty years ago. Through memory, the pair are drawn closer to one another. But after looking back fondly, can they now look forward?

Having drawn comparisons with Andrew Haigh's Weekend, Lucio Castro's End of the Century (Fin de siglo) is a beautiful reflection on how we see ourselves in the past, and how happenstance, or fate, can determine our future.

A reporter (John Aprea, The Godfather Part II) doing a story on life on the streets pays a young hustler (newcomer Jonathan Kos-Read) to tell him how he wound up where he is.

Filmed entirely in New York City, Confessions of a Male Prostitute (1992) was written, produced, and directed by Brian Scott Mednick when he was only nineteen and a freshman at NYU film school. He has since went on to write the acclaimed biography Gene Wilder: Funny and Sad (2010), as well as the short story collection Drinking Games…and Other Stories (2011) and the novel Unnecessary Headaches.

Rex Reed said of the film: "I am a bit speechless. This is exemplary work...revealing much sensitivity and intelligence. The actors were absolutely first-rate and directed with skill, precision and naturalism… I actually could have hung in there with [these] characters for another hour or so. I am really most impressed with by the writing more than anything else – an economy of words, a wealth of style, an almost minimal thrust in dialogue but with maximum believability. [Brian Scott Mednick] has obvious talent... This short film is so good I would be very keen to see what [Mednick comes] up with in the next few years."
