A Chinese student studying theoretical cosmology in the U.S. also has a lot of dark matter occupying his head, and not even the assistance of faculty wife Meryl Streep can prevent it from taking over.

Margot at the Wedding

Room

Room wears the skin of a psychological thriller, but plays out as something far darker, weirder, and more distancing. The film was invited to Cannes and earned Independent Spirit Award nominations for its Austin artists, Kyle Henry and Cyndi Williams.

"...a misleading term, however, as Room bucks conventional storytelling models. The title, the tidiest thing about Room, refers to..."

Boogie Nights

Boogie Nights gets under the skin of the porn film industry's exuberant burst of public semirespectability in the late Seventies, prior to the home-video revolution that changed the rules of the game forever. The movie is no socio-cultural abstract though; it is at heart the story about a group of characters and the de facto family that emerges from their relationships.

"...films by such filmmakers as Scorsese and Altman as models for his multi-charactered subculture study. And it all works..."
