For two decades, New York City cinephiles had access to a treasure trove of rare and esoteric films through Kim's Video. Originally run by the enigmatic Yongman Kim out of his dry-cleaning business, his franchise eventually amassed 55,000 rental titles. In 2008, facing a changing industry, Mr. Kim offered to give away his collection provided that it stay intact and be available to Kim's Video members. In a bid to revitalize tourism, the small Italian village of Salemi, Sicily became home to the archive. But after the initial publicity faded, so too did any sign of the collection. Enter filmmaker David Redmon, who credits Kim's Video for his film education. With the ghosts of cinema past leading his way, Redmon embarks on a seemingly quixotic quest to track down what happened to the legendary collection and to free it from purgatory.

캐서린은 아버지의 죽음과, 연인과의 이별을 잊기 위해 가장 친한 친구인 버지니아가 살고 있는 호숫가 집을 찾는다. 하지만 1년 전 그곳에서 남자친구와 함께였던 기억이 자꾸 떠오른다. 버지니아는 캐서린의 위기에 관심을 갖지 않는다. (2015년 제16회 전주국제영화제) 리뷰 은 복잡다단한 인간심리, 상호의존성, 서로에게 독으로 작용하는 인식, 우정과 증오의 인척관계에 대한 기묘한 탐구이다. 수다스럽고 신랄한 유머로 가득했던 알렉스 로스 페리의 전작 에 비교하자면 이 영화는 잉그마르 베리만이나 로만 폴란스키를 연상케하는 편집증적인 실내극에 비견할 만하다. 호젓한 호숫가 저택에서 상처를 치유하려는 캐서린과 버지니아. 아버지의 죽음, 깨어진 연애로 인해 위기를 맞은 캐서린은 회복을 위해 버지니아와 동거를 시작한다. 우정과 화해의 시간이 될 것으로 보였던 두 친구의 만남은 묵혀두었던 구원(舊怨)과 충돌의 악몽으로 변한다. 인간들 사이에서 발생하는 감정의 난기류와 격분에 찬 적의, 아둔한 자기몰입, 나르시시즘에서는 로스 페리의 고유한 색깔을 느낄 수 있다. 원 쇼트로 찍힌 탁월한 독백 장면들에서 배우들의 연기가 볼만한데, 전작 에서부터 알렉스 로스 페리와 협력해온 엘리자베스 모스의 히스테리컬한 캐릭터는 압도적이다.

(2015년 제16회 전주국제영화제) 리뷰 두 번째 소설의 출간을 앞둔 브루클린의 소설가 필립 로스의 기대와 불안, 자의식을 따라가는 은 기이한 코미디이다. 필립이 출판사와 빚는 갈등, 사진가 여자친구 애슐리와의 잘 풀리지 않는 관계, 멘토인 소설가 아이크와의 이야기 등이 기둥 스토리를 이룬다. 필립은 공격적인 언사와 신경증적인 행동거지, 자기중심적인 행위를 일삼는 극단적 에고이스트로 묘사된다. 내러티브는 주인공 필립뿐 아니라 주변인들의 사연까지 각자의 관점에서 기술된다. 필립은 사랑과 돈, 이상과 열정, 우정과 권력, 환상과 경멸 등 여러 가지 테마가 집중되는 서사의 프리즘이다. 필립을 연기하는 제이슨 슈와츠만은 웨스 앤더슨의 파트너로 널리 알려졌다. 그는 에서 몸에 맞춘 듯 꼭 맞는 캐릭터를 만났다. 영화 안에서 그는 연출자 알렉스 로스 페리와 동등한 비중을 차지할 만큼 절대적인 존재감을 보여준다. 인디 스타일의 우디 앨런 영화 같은 느낌을 주는 작품으로 로카르노국제영화제 감독상을 수상했다.
