New This Week: The Penguin Lessons 🇬🇧 starring Steve Coogan!

Opens April 18
🇫🇷 This Hitchcockian crime thriller was Cahiers du Cinema's #1 film of 2024

Alain Guiraudie’s latest thriller unfolds in an autumnal village in Occitanie, where out-of-work baker Jérémie returns after his former boss’s funeral. Lingering in town, he insinuates himself into the late baker’s family, including his kind widow and resentful son, while forming an unexpected bond with a cheerful local priest. In Guiraudie’s world, violence and desire erupt unpredictably, and criminal behavior feels like a natural extension of physical longing.

A fantastically tender, alluring, and peculiar small-town tale of murder, desire, and repression. – RogerEbert.com

Like for his other films — eight features and nearly as many shorts — the director creates his own unique tone, combining stark naturalistic performances reminiscent of Robert Bresson with the macabre humor and underlying suspense of Hitchcock. – The Hollywood Reporter
