If Beale Street Could Talk. Trailer. KiKi Layne. Stephan James. Regina King.

A woman in Harlem desperately scrambles to prove her fiancé innocent of a crime while carrying their first child.

Told through the eyes of Tish, a nineteen-year-old girl, in love with Fonny, a young sculptor who is the father of her child. Tish and Fonny have pledged to get married, but Fonny is falsely accused of a terrible crime and imprisoned. Their families set out to clear his name, and as they face an uncertain future, the young lovers experience a kaleidoscope of emotions–affection, despair, and hope. In a love story that evokes the blues, where passion and sadness are inevitably intertwined, Baldwin has created two characters so alive and profoundly realized that they are unforgettably ingrained in the American psyche.

At Eternity’s Gate. Trailer. Willem Dafoe. Rupert Friend. Mads Mikkelsen. Oscar Isaac. Emmanuelle Seigner.

This film — At Eternity’s Gate — is a journey inside the world and mind of a person who, despite skepticism, ridicule and illness, created some of the world’s most beloved and stunning works of art. This is not a forensic biography, but rather scenes based on Vincent van Gogh’s [Willem Dafoe] letters, common agreement about events in his life that present as facts, hearsay, and moments that are just plain invented.
