APRIL 4 - 6

On an empty road in the middle of the night, Shula stumbles across the body of her uncle. As funeral proceedings begin around them, she and her cousins bring to light the buried secrets of their middle-class Zambian family, in filmmaker Rungano Nyoni's surreal and vibrant reckoning with the lies we tell ourselves. Nyoni is one of the most exciting voices in cinema today and ON BECOMING A GUINEA FOWL is abject proof: a disquieting, blistering examination of a family where social status trumps blood ties. Darkly comedic, beautiful and surprising, and one of the most highly acclaimed films of the year.

Two amateur baseball teams, the River Dogs and Adlers Paint, have been meeting on their New England field on Sunday afternoons for longer than anyone can remember. These middle-aged sportsmen can’t run as fast as they used to or connect as reliably with a pitch, but their vigorous appetite for socializing, squabbling, and busting chops remains undiminished. When an imminent construction project is scheduled to raze the baseball diamond, the teams meet for one final game at their beloved field, with girlfriends, kids, and local hooligans as intermittent spectators. As day turns to night and innings bleed together, the players face the uncertainty of a new era. Set in a vanished Massachusetts of the mid-1990s, Carson Lund’s poignant feature debut plays like a lazy afternoon, perfectly attuned to the rhythms of America’s eternal pastime. Named for a rarely-deployed curveball, EEPHUS is both a ribald comedy for the baseball connoisseur and a movie for anyone who’s ever lamented their community slipping away.

As a sequel to one of the scariest horror films ever made, EXORCIST II: THE HERETIC is a complete failure. When taken on its own as a bizarre, psychedelic horror headtrip, however, it goes outrageously hard. This demonic freakout picks up four years after the original film, and sees now teenaged Regan (Linda Blair) once again tormented by an otherworldly oppressor. This time around, however, she’s treated in a state-of-the-art research facility by experts in hypnotism. A wacked-out fever dream merging 70’s sci-fi and Satanic spookiness, future shock technology and swarms of giant locusts. Not to mention Louise Fletcher once again working at a facility for the mentally unstable, a tomato-spitting James Earl Jones, and Richard Burton's priestly histrionics. Director John Boorman combines all this with stunning baroque visuals, Buñuelian absurdity and a very heavy Ennio Morricone score, creating some kind of perfect weirdness. Demands to be seen on the Pageant screen!

An expansive and revelatory inside look at John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s life in Greenwich Village in the early 1970s, ONE TO ONE: JOHN & YOKO delivers an immersive cinematic experience that brings to life electrifying, never-before-seen material and newly restored footage of John and Yoko’s only full-length concert. Kevin Macdonald’s riveting documentary takes that legendary musical event and uses it as the starting point to explore eighteen defining months in the lives of John and Yoko spent in a Greenwich Village apartment, while also tracing developments in American politics like the presidency of Richard Nixon and opposition to United States involvement in the Vietnam War. As they experience a year of love and transformation in the US, John and Yoko begin to change their approach to protest, ultimately leading to the One to One concert. Featuring mind-blowing music newly remixed and produced by Sean Ono Lennon, the film is a seismic revelation that will challenge pre-existing notions of two of history’s most influential artists.

The teasingly entwined ambiguities of love and death continue to fascinate Alain Guiraudie (Stranger by the Lake), who returns with a sharp, sinister, yet slyly funny thriller. Set in an autumnal, woodsy village in his native region of Occitanie, his latest follows the meandering exploits of Jérémie (Félix Kysyl), an out-of-work baker who has drifted back to his hometown after the death of his beloved former boss, a bakery owner. Staying long after the funeral, the seemingly benign Jérémie begins to casually insinuate himself into his mentor’s family, including his kind-hearted widow (Catherine Frot) and venomously angry son (Jean-Baptiste Durand), while making an increasingly surprising—and ultimately beneficial—friendship with an oddly cheerful local priest (Jacques Develay). In Guiraudie’s quietly carnal world, violence and eroticism explode with little anticipation, and criminal behavior can seem like a natural extension of physical desire. The French director is at the top of his game in Misericordia, again upending all genre expectations.
