Donkey Skin 1970
Jacques Demy’s adaptation of the classic French fairy tale about a princess who dresses as a donkey to avoid marrying her father is a Technicolor musical with some truly strange 1970s vibes. Taking place in an unnamed kingdom where nobody has any obligations besides hanging out with their face-painted servants and pilgrim-esque royal advisors, “Donkey Skin” is a 90-minute ode to scheming and daydreaming that results in a game of romantic musical chairs destined to produce the most awkward Thanksgiving of all time. —CZ

With sentimental sweetness akin to “The Fablemans” and giddy action best described as an even gorier “Kill Bill,” Sion Sono delivers his blood-soaked, meta-masterpiece “Why Don’t You Play in Hell?”

Pieces 1982
The poster for “Pieces” boasts one of the all-time great taglines in horror marketing history: “It’s Exactly What You Think It Is.” But while that really rolls off the tongue, it’s completely false. “Pieces” is a movie that confounds at every turn, filled with bizarre plot developments, strange attempts at humor and sexuality, and a kung-fu professor. Pair that with some genuinely fun kills and you’re left with a midnight movie for the ages. —CZ
