Synopsis by Rotten Tomatoes. “From Golden Bear winner Radu Jude, DO NOT EXPECT TOO MUCH FROM THE END OF THE WORLD takes a fierce and darkly comic swipe at modern day life.

When one of the interviewees makes a statement that ignites a scandal, Angela has to re-invent the story.”

4) FREE TIME– 2024. Synopsis by Rotten Tomatoes. “Drew is approaching the end of his twenties and, with it, his relative youth. Looking to make a sudden change, he decides to quit his cushy desk job and “embrace life.” Cycling quickly through friends, hobbies, and goals, it’s not long until Drew realizes he has no idea what to do with his newfound freedom. Led by Colin Burgess and featuring a wide ensemble of New York City’s funniest performers, Ryan Martin Brown’s debut feature is an uproarious comedy — filmed on location in the midst of America’s “Great Resignation” — about the search for meaning in the modern world.”
