Netflix has recently released season two of its slept-on Austrian thriller Totenfrau, or Woman of the Dead.

2 weeks ago | filminquiry.com | Jules Caldeira

Following a UK/European tour and just in time for summer, The Brian Jonestown Massacre have released a new single. Dubbed a “double A-side” release, “Makes Me Great” and “Out of Body” are a one-two punch of the bluesy, psychedelic rock ‘n’ roll that they’ve become famous for over the past three decades. Starting with an acoustic guitar and a bouncy cadence, “Makes Me Great” quickly builds into a groove right at home in BJM’s repertoire.

As Stephen Hawking once said, “We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special.” It’s in that spirit that every year, for the entire month of April, my partner and I devote ourselves to a screening series unified not by genre, not by director, or actor, or era… but by monkeys.

Whoever said rock ‘n’ roll was dead failed to let Royal Blunder know. Born from the ashes of other projects, this Seattle four-piece is releasing their debut EP, “Only More is Enough.”With four tracks and clocking in at under thirteen minutes, this is the kind of garage-rock power-pop that will have you drumming the steering wheel during your morning commute or tapping your toe as you do the dishes.

The debut feature from writer-director Constance Tsang, Blue Sun Palace pulls back the curtain of a Queens massage parlor to give us an intimate look at the lives of the immigrant women who work there.

BLACK BAG: Steven Soderbergh's Elegant Thriller Is A Spy Caper Made For Adults

3 weeks ago | filminquiry.com | Clement Tyler Obropta

At our most cynical moments, we can reduce most films in our minds to gorgeous people reading smart lines in luxurious rooms. Black Bag is director Steven Soderbergh’s latest, a tight little picture that, depending on your mood, can be either an empty exercise in style and genre or a vibrant and intelligent chamber drama. As with many of Soderbergh’s films, the cinematic technique is excellent — you’d be hard-pressed to find a more reliable cinematic craftsperson working today.

Over several years of shooting, artist James Bidgood transformed his Manhattan apartment into the glittering, candy-colored paradise of homoeroticism that is the primary setting of his sole feature film, Pink Narcissus.

3 weeks ago | filminquiry.com | Payton McCarty-Simas

Documentarian Courtney Stephens and actress Callie Hernandez came together to make a project inspired by their shared experiences losing larger-than-life fathers. Invention, the film that emerged, is a delicate, quasi-experimental blend of metafiction, archival TV/home movie footage of Hernandez‘ father, and making-of documentary footage on their process that takes grief as its starting point.
