Rashomon. The six-film Directors series tribute to Akira Kurosawa concludes with arguably his most influential film. The suspenseful 1950 crime thriller is told through flashbacks that are based on the clashing recollections of four people concerning a man’s murder and his wife’s rape.

Moonrise Kingdom.

After 12-year-old love birds Sam (Jared Gilman) and Suzy (Kara Hayward) run away to the other side of New England coastal island in 1965, a mad search is undertaken by oddball adult characters portrayed by Bruce Willis, Edward Norton, Bill Murray, France McDormand, Tilda Swinton and more.
