Programmer's Pick

If your idea of drama involves pastel lighting, tangled trysts, and a camera lens lingering where it pleases, Joseph Sarno’s Swedish detour is an essential stop. Siv, Anne & Sven is as much about mood and yearning as it is about who’s hopping into whose bed—and Sarno’s signature blend of sex and guilt is laid bare in every sultry frame.
