Trailer
Why watch this film?
Staying true to Amat Escalante's usual style, 'La región salvaje' is a movie that shows a lot of violence and taboos in the Mexican context of deep-rooted values where homosexuality - and sex in general - have little place. This award-winning film makes an excellent and subtle use of digital effects to create a creature worthy of the worst nightmares.

From the same director
Heli
Essential for some, hard to watch for others, 'Heli' is a raw portrait of the Mexican violence caused by the war against drug trafficking. Amat Escalante has been praised and criticized for this movie, due to its tremendous realism. With this film, Escalante won the Best Director Award at Cannes, one of the most prestigious in the festival, among many other international awards.
Lost in the Night
Mexican director Amat Escalante departs from the strange horror and science fiction of 'The Untamed' and takes a few steps away from the violence in the social marginalization of 'Heli' to delve into the realms of a psychological and sensual thriller that is 'Lost in the Night.' The story follows Emiliano (Juan Daniel García, from 'I'm No Longer Here'), a young man seeking justice for the death of his activist mother. With no help from the judicial system, he independently follows a lead that takes him to the eccentric family of an artist, his wife, and their beautiful daughter, plunging him into a sordid spiral of seduction and destruction. Although not as focused as Escalante's previous efforts, 'Lost in the Night' raises interesting questions about the role of art in a social context where violence and marginalization reign.
Drama
Downtown Owl
'Downtown Owl' - Searching for a break from her cosmopolitan life in Milwaukee, Julia Rabia (Lily Rabe), arrives in the closeknit Reagan-era town of Owl, North Dakota for a one-semester high school teaching job. But when the small town turns out to be a wonderland of second-string poets, smoldering Marlboro Men, and a social hierarchy that echoes high school, Julia doesn't know if she's come to town to get away from home or to find it. Ed Harris, Vanessa Hudgens, Henry Golding, and Finn Wittrock also star in this Great Plains dark dramedy directed by Lily Rabe and Hamish Linklater. Based on the novel by Chuck Klosterman.
Baby
After his release from a juvenile center, Wellington finds himself homeless in São Paulo. At a porn theater, he meets Ronaldo, who mentors him in street survival. Their bond evolves into a turbulent affair.
Cake
'Cake' takes us into the darkly funny world of Claire Bennett (Jennifer Aniston) who initiates a dubious relationship with a widower (Sam Worthington) while confronting fantastical hallucinations of his dead wife (Anna Kendrick). With her feisty housekeeper cum caretaker (Adriana Barraza) ever at her side, Claire searches for human connection and self-forgiveness in this tale of personal redemption.
Lie With Me
Lie With Me (Arrête avec tes mensonges) - An emotional French drama directed by Olivier Peyo, has been awarded the award for Best Narrative Feature Film at FilmOut San Diego. The film follows a writer who returns to his hometown of Cognac after 35 years to represent a cognac brand and reunites with the son of his first love, a role played by Victor Belmondo, triggering an avalanche of passionate memories of his youth.
