New This Week: On Swift Horses and The Legend of Ochi.

Closes April 18
Tilda Swinton art-world comedy, rated 88% Fresh

Alejandro (Julio Torres) is an aspiring toy designer from El Salvador, struggling to bring his unusual ideas to life in New York City. As time on his work visa runs out, a job assisting an erratic art-world outcast (Tilda Swinton) becomes his only hope to stay in the country and realize his dream. From writer/director Julio Torres comes a surreal adventure through the equally treacherous worlds of New York City and the U.S. Immigration system.

An imaginative, impressive, not to mention hilarious debut…

Slate

Julio Torrest takes a simple story about immigration and human connection, and turned it into a comedic, surrealist fantasy that serves as an epic critique of capitalism.
