The latest cinema stories

Vietnam veteran Al Moon lives alone on his tribe’s land in Northern California. One day he hits the road to find the men of his old battalion. Isabelle Ingold and Vivianne Perelmuter climb into the pickup with him and come back with a documentary that never holds the viewer’s hand. All the better. What we get is a crossing, and a few salmon we will not soon forget.

Summer 1961. Scott LaFaro, Bill Evans's bassist and musical soulmate, dies in a car crash. The pianist stops playing and sinks into drugs, until his brother takes him back to the family home in Florida. Grant Gee does not tell the story of Bill Evans's life: he places us inside his head, where memories drift like notes.

Lia, a French-Rwandan basketball player, agrees to play for Rwanda's national team and returns to the country she fled as a child. Rather than restaging the genocide against the Tutsi, Jonas d'Adesky films what it leaves to the living: questions with no simple answers, family silences, and the fragile possibility of still talking to one another.
