I hope none of you are sleeping on this movie on Netflix: Akelarre, also called Coven. It's a basque film from 2020 about a group of teenage girls being accused of being witches in 1609. Don't worry, it's actually pretty good. None of that American puritan influence, this is a European catholic witch hunt.

Lan Yu / 藍宇 (2001)

Stanley Kwan’s fantastic, ahead-of-its time gay melodrama was filmed in secret to avoid state censorship over its frank depiction of queer sexuality and bared male bodies; it’s a miracle it even exists, let alone that it’s as masterful as it is (in large part in thanks to the sensitive lead performances).

Director: Stanley Kwan

Cinematographers: Tao Yang and Jian Zhang

Starring: Liu Ye and Hu Jun
