SHE DIES TOMORROW
A horrific mood piece by actress/director Amy Seimetz
THE TANGO OF THE WIDOWER
A most eccentric ghost story from the late Raoul Ruiz (1941-2011)
THE PAINTED BIRD
Arguably the most controversial film of 2020, this is a near-three hour adaptation of the iconic 1965 novel THE PAINTED BIRD by the late Jerzy Kosinski
