CRONOS is such an incredible film. One of most unique and haunting takes on the vampire legend ever made.
Praised by the @latimes.com as “a sophisticated and spirited tale straight from the crypt,” @realgdt.bsky.social's debut feature CRONOS combines the story of Faust and vampire legends to create a wholly unique experiment in terror.

Now playing in a new 4K restoration!

YOUNG MOTHERS, opening Friday, is a profoundly moving social-realist gem from Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne. A joy to speak with them about filmmaking in their native Belgium, mysteries of grace, and memories of the late Émilie Dequenne, star of their celebrated ROSETTA, for @ebertvoices.bsky.social:
To Love Each Other: Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne on "Young Mothers" | Interviews | Roger Ebert
An interview with the legendary French neorealist auteurs talk about their latest, motherhood, industrialism, and the late Émilie Dequenne.
