Johnnie To has been Hong Kong’s modern crime movie master for decades now, responsible for such contemporary classics as The Mission (1999), PTU (2003), Election (2005), Vengeance (2009), and Drug War (2012). For Exiled (Hong Kong, 2006), he delivers an elegant genre exercise. Though not technically a sequel to The Mission, most of that film’s cast are back in comparable roles and a premise that turns a simple hit into a buddy crime odyssey.

Body horror meets social commentary in The Substance (2024), a viscerally grotesque and savagely caustic satire of the commodification of beauty and sex and the impossible standards by which women are measured. Demi Moore gives a career-redefining performance as Elisabeth Sparkle, a one-time superstar now headlining a TV exercise program that the shallow network boss Harvey (a gleefully vulgar Dennis Quaid) wants to recast with fresh blood.

Maverick American filmmaker Robert Altman had been essentially exiled from Hollywood for a decade, making small indie productions and films for TV and cable, when he came roaring back with The Player (1992). Both a sly thriller set in the world of Hollywood studio filmmaking and a wry show business satire with an enormous supporting cast of Hollywood stars playing themselves, it was acerbic, witty, and popular with both the general public and the Hollywood community.
