THE SCHOOL DUEL | Releasing in NY April 24th and LA May 1st
In a near-future Florida where gun control has been abolished, the state’s ambitious governor (Oscar Nuñez, “The Office”) introduces a chilling solution to school shootings: a state-wide, televised fight-to-the-death competition known as “The School Duel.” Sammy, a troubled 13-year-old, secretly enlists against his mother’s wishes – seduced by promises of purpose, patriotism, and notoriety. But as the deadly spectacle unfolds, that dream begins to crumble. The debut feature from director Todd Wiseman Jr., THE SCHOOL DUEL is a provocative dystopian thriller about fear, manipulation, and one of the most brazenly political genre films in recent memory.
THE LAST ONE FOR THE ROAD | Opens in Theaters May 1st
The bottom has fallen out for Carlobianchi and Doriano, two small-time Italian crooks. They haven’t been able to mount an honest scam since the 2008 financial crisis and now face the impending mediocrity of middle age. The return of an exiled partner-in-crime from Argentina affords a second chance for long-buried riches, but can Carlobianchi and Doriano put down their beers long enough to keep their eyes on the prize? Along their slow motion, alcoholic grand tour of the Venetian countryside, they cross paths with Giulio, a shy architecture student who reluctantly warms to the sodden pair and indulges their rants about the folly of globalization and the slow decline of local color. Each roadside tavern offers the promise of one last drink – unless the next one ups the ante. Francesco Sossai’s dazzling sophomore feature is many things at once: a road movie, a casual caper, a tribute to a vanishing industrial Italy, a scruffy intergenerational odyssey, and free-flowing bender through time and space.
BILLIE EILISH – HIT ME HARD AND SOFT: THE TOUR | In Theaters May 8th

THE TASTE OF TEA | Premieres in Theaters Beginning May 8th
The pristine image of the Japanese family is turned on its uber-polite head with surreal aplomb in THE TASTE OF TEA, a far-out collection of hilarious vignettes. Set in the languid countryside, Mom is an eccentric artist who eschews household chores for an animation project with occasional help from crazy grandpa. Meanwhile, Dad is just your everyday hypnotherapist. Their teenaged son suffers from hangups about the opposite sex while his little sister must contend with a doppelganger. Uncle is a groovy music producer on a respite whose ghostly past experiences still haunt him.
Maverick director Katsuhito Ishii (who created the animated sequence in Kill Bill: Volume 1) pulled out all the stops for this endearing outré take on the Japanese psyche, presented in a new HD master supervised by the director. Replete with non-stop irreverent gags, anime digressions, musical numbers and candy-coated lysergic passages, THE TASTE OF TEA, nominated for the SACD Prize at Cannes and winner of Best Asian Film at the Fantasia Film Festival, is, “a true delight that elevates feel-good cinema to a whole new level and charms from start to finish” (Screen Anarchy).
TOM CLANCY’S JACK RYAN: GHOST WAR | Available Globally on Prime Video May 20th

Operating in real time with lives on the line and the threat escalating at every turn, Jack reunites with battle-tested CIA operative Mike November (Michael Kelly) and former CIA boss James Greer (Wendell Pierce), their combined experience the only edge they have against an enemy who knows their every move. Backed by an unlikely new partner – razor-sharp MI6 officer Emma Marlowe (Sienna Miller) – Jack and the team navigate a treacherous web of betrayal, facing a past they thought was long put to rest – making this the most personal, high-stakes mission any of them have ever faced.
