The Canyons (2013)

Directed by Paul Schrader

Director Paul Schrader’s latest is a neo-noir thriller that Kent Jones described as “a visually and tonally precise, acid-etched horror story of souls wandering through a hyper-materialistic hell, with a fearless and, I think, stunning performance by Lindsay Lohan at its center.”  Funded in part through a Kickstarter campaign, The Canyons, says Schrader, is “cinema for the post-theatrical era.”
