This film was actually released in Japan in 2000, but wasn’t available to the US until 2010 due to the violent and shocking story of high schoolers stranded on a remote island and forced to murder each other to survive. Hailed by critics as “a vicious take-off on reality TV,” Battle Royale performs an expert balancing act between a dark satire and a wildly entertaining thriller.

In the Depression-era Deep South, three escapees from a prison chain gang search for hidden treasure while a relentless lawman pursues them.

Don’t miss this nostalgic, funny, and often poignant coming of age story of 15-year-old who finds himself on tour with an up and company 1970s rock band as a reporter for Rolling Stones. He navigates a world of groupies, drugs, and sex despite the objections from his overprotective mother.

There are no more barriers to cross.
