WATCH FOR FREE: Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s “Bright Future”
Premiering at Cannes 20 years ago this month, at a time when Kurosawa was still hotly associated with horror, Bright Future (available to watch free this month on Fandor!) flirts with genre elements and an ambient, shadowy tone of vaguely defined anxiety, but with an often-deadpan vibe that aligns it with slacker comedies.

INTERVIEW: Joseph Sackett on “Homebody”
