Train Dreams (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Train Dreams is an historical drama taking place in the forests of the northwest United States during the early 20th century. You might think that the story has to do with trains, and a small part of it does, but the title really symbolizes the painful creation of the modern world in America, born from the sweat and toil of poor working people just trying to survive. The film is directed by Clint Bentley and co-adapted with Greg Kwedar from a book by the late acclaimed writer Denis Johnson. Joel
Tony (opens the original)
Read excerpt
An arrogant, pretentious 19-year-old takes a job as a cook in a Cape Cod restaurant and is forced to grow up.

And now at the height of her career, having already won two Best Actress Oscars, and four other nominations,
Our Land (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A documentary details the murder trial of a landowner accused of killing an indigenous villager in Argentina, illuminating the long history of exploitation of native people in that country. Argentine writer-director Lucrecia Martel has long been exploring her country’s social tensions and contradictions in her dramatic films. Now in her latest film, she’s turned to documentary, in a project it’s taken her almost a decade to complete: Nuestra Tierra, Our Land. Just as in her fictional works, Our
