Programmer's Pick

Mixing 1970s Greek high society with a salacious streak, The Young Tycoon doesn’t just ogle the lives of the rich and scandalous—it throws in a murder, a vanishing femme fatale, and enough nudity to fog up the Aegean. Omiros Efstratiadis directs with a wink, and the beach isn’t just for sunbathing.
