Cutie and the Boxer

Ushio and Noriko’s marriage has been under a lot of emotional and financial strain—basically for all 40 years of it—but only now is it at risk of completely falling apart. Cutie And The Boxer is a documentary about two artists: Ushio, a Dadaist whose work is well-received but makes little money, and his wife Noriko, a comic artist who’s been treated like an assistant for most of their marriage. An emotionally challenging film, Cutie And The Boxer shows that, even in half-century long relationships, there’s still plenty that can be improved upon.

Deep, The

A shipwreck in the frigid, unforgiving waters off Iceland’s coast leaves no survivors except for one man whose survival completely baffles scientists. Based on a true story, The Deep follows an average man that becomes a national hero when he survives for hours in freezing temperatures that should have killed him in minutes. Director Baltasar Kormákur eschews glamorizing this tale, and instead grounds The Deep in a gritty, realistic world, which only serves to make this story of survival all the more puzzling.
