THE DESERT BRIDE (LA NOVIA DEL DESIERTO)

4:40 PM

Having spent most of her life in domestic service to a family who can no longer afford her wages, 50-something Teresa reluctantly sets off on a journey across Argentina’s arid plains and, unwittingly, towards her true self, in this touching and acclaimed debut feature.

Dark Crimes

2:15 PM, 9:00 PM

Jim Carrey stars in the Warsaw-set thriller as an obsessive straight-arrow loner cop tackling that one inevitable last case before retirement. And that one cold case that he's fixated on involves the death of a man known to frequent an S&M sex club, with eerie similarities to the plot of a book by an author known to frequent that dungeon-like lair of depravity.
