New This Week: Almodovar's The Room Next Door, The Last Showgirl starring Pamela Anderson, and Sing Sing

Closes May 25
Ari Aster's wildly ambitious new movie!

A paranoid man embarks on an epic odyssey to get home to his mother in this bold and ingeniously depraved new film from writer/director Ari Aster.

With Beau Is Afraid, his third and easily most ambitious feature to date, Ari Aster traces, to more cosmic and absurd ends, how tragedy is birthed by, well, birth itself.

Slant Magazine

What began as a comically exaggerated paranoid farce ends as an audacious slice of surreal, Charlie Kaufman-esque purgatorial art, likely to draw admirers as much as a sense of alienation.
