Costes in New York, hooked on crack because of a woman (Lydia Zamm). Shot on location in New York City, with an eclectic cast. Early-90s New York City sleaze in loose camcorder form: hotel rooms, street romance, and a ravaged downtown that refuses to stay in the background.

Saul and the Sorceress poster
NR

After yet another fight with his girlfriend, a man obsessed with the biblical story of Saul flees halfway across the world to Saül, a town in the Amazonian jungle of French Guiana, gets drunk, and walks into the night with a machete. His wife follows and finds him too late. One of the director’s strangest and most mystical films. Domestic collapse becomes biblical fatalism: a man mistakes escape for destiny, and discovers love only as regret after repair proves impossible.
