10 (or Maybe 11) Films to See in July
Amid the usual summer blockbusters—including a return to the Bourne franchise for Matt Damon and a family adventure from Steven Spielberg—the month ahead will also feature intriguing smaller films that have already made an impression on the festival circuit over the past year. We've picked out a handful of July's best bets below—as well as one major wildcard.
Actor Brady Corbet’s debut feature won the "Luigi de Laurentiis" Venice Award for best debut film, and he won best director honors in the Horizons section of the festival for this tale of a young boy growing up between World War I and II. Scored by Scott Walker and starring Berenice Bejo, Liam Cunningham, Stacy Martin, Robert Pattinson and Tom Sweet as the tantrum-throwing “Leader” of the title, this daring film has been described as both “a stunning debut” and “intensely irritating.” Maybe it’s both?
