SUMMARY:FUCKTOYS (2025) -- "Irreverent and audacious sex comedy!"
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Irreverent and audacious! Annapurna Sriram’s saucy and singular sex comedy tests the limits of good taste.” – Variety \n\n\n\nPart-time sex worker\, full-time chaos magnet\, AP is convinced that the universe has it out for her… and she might be right. In Fucktoys—the wild\, unfiltered debut from writer/director/star Annapurna Sriram—AP seeks a cosmic reset after a swampy tarot reading (courtesy Big Freedia) tells her she needs $1\,000 and a sacrificial lamb to lift her curse. Armed with neither\, she sets off on a bizarre quest with her kindred spirit Danni (Sadie Scott) through Trashtown\, USA—a dystopian\, neon-drenched sprawl of assorted oddballs\, Tom of Finland cops\, and strip clubs galore.  \n\n\n\nChanneling the cinematic stylings of French New Wave\, cross-pollinated with the rebellious vibe of 90s-era Gregg Araki\, Fucktoys is rude\, crude\, unhinged\, girly-pop middle finger to filmic convention. It’s a surrealist and satirical odyssey with a cast to match that includes 13 Reasons Why’s Brandon Flynn\, The Comeback’s Damian Young\, and a knockout performance by Heated Rivarly’s François Arnaud. Sriram’s Fucktoys took home a Special Jury Award at both SXSW and Fantasia\, a Grand Jury Award at NewFest\, and earned the writer-director a 2026 Film Independent Spirit Award Nomination. \n\n\n\nWHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING…\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Rioutously raunchy” \n\n\n\n\n“[R]iotously raunchy\, wildly entertaining and sublimely surreal… this feels like the lovechild of John Waters and early period Almodovar.” \n\n\n\n★ ★ ★ ★ ★  \n\n\n\n\n\nNerdly \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“A bold new filmmaker” \n\n\n\n\n“An offbeat\, silly and very original debut it signposts Sriram as a bold new filmmaker.” \n\n\n\n★ ★ ★ ★  \n\n\n\n\n\nFilmhounds \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Unforgettable” \n\n\n\n\n“Exceptionally confident\, well thought out\, and unafraid to be weird… Fucktoys really is unforgettable.  \n\n\n\n\n\n★ ★ ★ ★  \n\n\n\nTHN \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

Winner of Best Feature in Fantastic Fest’s Next Wave competition\, joining past awardees like It Follows and Timecrimes\, Camp is an ethereal trip into the dark forest of female adolescence. \n\n\n\nWHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING…\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“One of her generation’s brightest voices” \n\n\n\n\n“Further evidence that Avalon Fast is one of her generation’s brightest voices\, one that sings about the beautiful and ugly sides of female friendship\, as well as the horrors of existing as a young woman.” \n\n\n\n★ ★ ★ ★ ★ \n\n\n\n\n\nDread Central \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Incredibly accomplished” \n\n\n\n\n“An incredibly accomplished\, beautifully realized and compellingly elusive piece of work that will bewitch audiences with its memorable visuals\, three-dimensional characters and its intriguing portrayal of female relationships.” \n\n\n\n\n\n★ ★ ★ ★ ★ \n\n\n\nIn Their Own League \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Will strike a nerve” \n\n\n\n\n“Unfurls like a dream\, impossibly lovely and faintly unreal… An achingly melancholy coming-of-age film that will strike a nerve for anyone who was once a girl lost in the dense and tangled forest of adolescence.” \n\n\n\n\n\nHorror Press \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:Guy Maddin's "hilariously bizarre" CAREFUL (1992) -- new 4K restoration presented by Lost in the Arthouse
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLOST IN THE ARTHOUSE is a monthly series hosted by Arkadin co-owner Keith Watson that takes you to hidden corners of filmdom far from Hollywood. From must-see classics to obscurities waiting to be discovered\, these films stand at cinema’s bleeding edge. \n\n\n\n“Hilariously bizarre… like some lost masterpiece from a time-warped alternative dimension.” – The Washington Post \n\n\n\nArkadin favorite Guy Maddin’s early masterpiece takes place in a 19th-century Alpine village where the wary residents—adult\, child and animal—must speak softly and tread lightly lest they cause an avalanche. But sexual frenzies teem in this world of repression\, setting off incestuous love triangles and quadrangles with deadly consequences. Bathed in lurid\, luminescent tints\, CAREFUL is Maddin’s twisted ode to a largely forgotten film subgenre\, the German “Bergfilme” of the 1920s and ’30s\, which pitted man (and woman) against mountain in epic survivalist adventures. Merging these bygone conventions with Maddin’s own delirious obsessions results in a truly singular work that resembles a vintage melodrama from another planet. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person. However\, we encourage researching titles to determine if a screening may contain content that could be upsetting to you. Please feel free to contact us for guidance on specific films.
