FACETS

Three films. Three distinct visions. Our August Must-Watch Indies lineup is here:

🔵 BLUE FILM — An audacious, provocative drama that blurs the boundaries between performance, intimacy, and the images we construct of ourselves.

🌹 CAREFUL (4K Restoration) — Guy Maddin's delirious cult classic returns in a gorgeous new restoration, transforming a snowbound mountain village into a surreal world of repression, melodrama, and absurdity.

✉️ THE INVITE — Olivia Wilde’s s*x comedy of manners starts with an unexpected invitation that forces old wounds to the surface and nothing is quite what it seems.

🎤 MOTHER MARY continues its run this weekend at FACETS. Directed by David Lowery and starring Anne Hathaway and Michaela Coel, this bold pop melodrama follows a legendary musician whose carefully constructed persona begins to unravel during a reunion with an old friend and collaborator.

Featuring original music by Jack Antonoff and Charli xcx, MOTHER MARY is a dazzling, emotionally charged spectacle unlike anything else on screen this year.

Catch it this weekend as part of our Must-Watch Indies series. 🎟️ https://facets.org/cinema/

Chicago has never looked this depraved. 🔥

Set on the city's streets, ANYTHING THAT MOVES is Alex Phillips' gleefully unhinged neo-noir—a feverish blend of s*x, violence, and pitch-black comedy from one of underground cinema's most exciting voices.

See director Alex Phillips in person for a post-screening Q&A, then stick around for a Blu-ray raffle courtesy of Vinegar Syndrome. 🎟️ https://facets.org/programs/anything-that-moves/
