    Get ready for another action-packed…Yasuhiro Ozu movie? Well, at least compared to his other masterpieces. Buckle up for this bracingly gentle study of a middle-aged married couple as they lightly bicker and tell harmless lies to one another all in service of slowly coming to understand and maybe even love each other. Hope you survive the experience!

    Two unlikely kindred souls find purpose and companionship as they wander through the cross-continental 1970s in search of a sense of… just a little stability. Wim Wenders sets the tone for his career as a quiet student of humanity with a big ol heart.

    712 - Scanners (1981)

    Is this the one where Keanu takes a bunch of future drugs? I mean that DOES sound kind of like a Cronenberg movie…. No wait! It’s the head exploding one. Except that maybe, just maybe, this early 80s psychic thriller offers a whole lot more than just exploding heads. But don’t worry: if you really like exploding heads, this film still has you covered.
