There’s a special kind of magic that happens when great actors are given the freedom to fully inhabit their characters. In A Little Prayer—the new indie drama from acclaimed writer-director Angus MacLachlan (Junebug)—that magic is front and center. Veteran stars David Strathairn (Good Night, and Good Luck) and Celia Weston (Dead Man Walking) play a longtime married couple facing the quiet struggles of family life. At the heart of the story is their daughter-in-law, portrayed by Jane Levy (Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist), in what critics are calling a breakout performance reminiscent of Amy Adams in Junebug. With warmth, humor, and honesty, A Little Prayer explores love, resilience, and the power of family in ways that feel timeless and deeply human. On this episode of Inside the Arthouse, we sit down with Angus MacLachlan and Jane Levy to go behind the scenes of the film’s creative journey—from script to screen, and from independent vision to theatrical release. 👉 Watch our exclusive conversation now and discover why A Little Prayer is being hailed as one of the must-see indie films of 2025. #ALittlePrayer #JaneLevy #DavidStrathairn #CeliaWeston #AngusMacLachlan #IndieFilm #IndependentCinema #InsideTheArthouse #BehindTheScenes #FilmInterview #Junebug #FamilyDrama #MovieLoversUSA #IndieFilmPodcast #FilmmakerInterview @musicBoxFilms  @laemmle   @InsidetheArthouse   @OfficialRaphaelSbarge  #AlittlePrayerfilm #JaneLevy  @AngusMacLachlan  A Little Prayer movie A Little Prayer 2025 film Jane Levy A Little Prayer Angus MacLachlan interview David Strathairn new movie Celia Weston A Little Prayer Indie film 2025 Best independent films 2025 Jane Levy breakout role Junebug director new film Inside the Arthouse podcast Behind the scenes indie film Indie drama movies 2025 Family drama film 2025 Amy Adams Junebug comparison Low budget indie filmmaking American independent cinema Filmmaker interview podcast Jane Levy Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist Character-driven drama 2025 Jane Levy interview A Little Prayer movie Angus MacLachlan director of Junebug new film Best indie family dramas 2025 Independent film podcasts USA How A Little Prayer was made #arthouse #arthouseFilm @laemmle #BehindTheScenes #FilmDiscussion #MovieReview #NewReleases #NewFilmReleases #FilmLovers #Cinema #MoviePodcast #GregLaemmle #RaphaelSbarge #LaemmleTheatres #FilmDistribution #MovieIndustry #FilmBusiness Video Podcast Independent Film / Indie Film Arthouse Film / Arthouse Movie Film Lovers / Cinema New Movie Releases / New Film Releases Repertory Cinema / Classic Films / Classic Movies Filmmaker Interviews / Filmmakers (Directors, Writers, Producers) Film Distributors / Film Distribution Movie Industry / Film Business / Movie Business Behind-the-Scenes Insights Film Discussion / Movie Reviews / Film Analysis Greg Laemmle / Raphael Sbarge Laemmle Theatres Learn more about your ad choices.

Genre in film is a way we group stories — by shared style, form, or subject. In the new film ANY DAY NOW, writer-director Eric Aronson takes the familiar framework of a heist movie and flips it on its head. Instead of leaning on nonstop action, Aronson delivers a sharp, character-driven story that leans on comedy — anchored by veteran actor Paul Guilfoyle, whose wit and depth shine in every scene. At the center of the story is the infamous 1990 Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum robbery in Boston — one of the most audacious and unsolved art heists in American history. Thirteen priceless paintings vanished without a trace, but here the crime is the backdrop to a more intimate tale: how people, in a specific time and place, can collide in ways that reveal our quirks, contradictions, and unexpected outcomes. As you’re about to see, Eric Aronson and Paul Guilfoyle had an undeniable chemistry bringing ANY DAY NOW to life.

REPERTORY CINEMA at The Film Forum with Programmer Bruce Goldstein At INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE, we love discovering bold new voices and emerging filmmakers. But there's something uniquely rewarding about revisiting a classic—whether it's an old favorite or a legendary film you've always meant to watch. And seeing these films on the big screen in a real movie theater is the way they were meant to be experienced. Repertory cinema in the U.S. has faced its share of challenges, from the rise of home video and streaming to rising urban real estate costs. Many iconic rep theaters have closed. But in recent years, there's been a revival of interest in classic and cult films, shown theatrically in new restorations and 35mm prints. One of the most influential figures in this movement is Bruce Goldstein, longtime repertory programmer at Film Forum in New York City and founder of Rialto Pictures. For over 50 years, Bruce has been a champion of film history—curating, restoring, and re-releasing cinematic landmarks. In early 2025, Rialto re-released Claude Lelouch’s A Man and a Woman, and coming soon is a brand-new 4K restoration of Jean-Jacques Beineix’s Diva. We sat down with Bruce Goldstein in New York to talk about the past, present, and future of repertory film programming in the U.S.—and how he’s helped shape what American audiences get to see on the big screen. repertory cinema in the US Bruce Goldstein Film Forum Rialto Pictures documentary 35mm film revival A Man and a Woman restoration Diva Jean-Jacques Beineix 4K independent theaters NYC classic films in theaters 2025 movie history preservation Inside the Arthouse podcast best film podcasts 2025 New York City film culture Film Forum #InsideTheArthouse #BruceGoldstein #RepertoryCinema #FilmForumNYC#RialtoPictures #ClassicCinema #FilmPreservation #35mmFilm#CinemaHistory #ArthouseTheaters #MovieRestoration #FilmCulture#DivaMovie #ClaudeLelouch #CinephileNation @laemmle   @InsidetheArthouse   @FilmForumNYC   @OfficialRaphaelSbarge  #arthouse #arthouseFilm @laemmle #BehindTheScenes #FilmDiscussion #MovieReview #NewReleases #NewFilmReleases #FilmLovers #Cinema #MoviePodcast #GregLaemmle #RaphaelSbarge #LaemmleTheatres #FilmDistribution #MovieIndustry #FilmBusiness Video Podcast Independent Film / Indie Film Arthouse Film / Arthouse Movie Film Lovers / Cinema New Movie Releases / New Film Releases Repertory Cinema / Classic Films / Classic Movies Filmmaker Interviews / Filmmakers (Directors, Writers, Producers) Film Distributors / Film Distribution Movie Industry / Film Business / Movie Business Behind-the-Scenes Insights Film Discussion / Movie Reviews / Film Analysis Greg Laemmle / Raphael Sbarge Laemmle Theatres Learn more about your ad choices.

🎬 INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE: GHOST TRAIL – Spy Thriller Meets Art Film at Lincoln Center’s French Film Festival 🇫🇷 Every spring, New York’s Lincoln Center hosts Rendez-Vous with French Cinema—one of the most prestigious showcases of contemporary French film in the U.S. This year, the breakout hit was GHOST TRAIL (La Piste), a gripping and atmospheric political thriller from debut feature director Jonathan Millet. 🎥 Based on real-life events, GHOST TRAIL follows a Syrian activist-turned-refugee tracking down a former torturer across Europe.

🎬 Inside the Arthouse: NORTHERN LIGHTS — Rob Nilsson on the Cannes-Winning Indie Masterpiece, Now Restored in 4K In this special episode of Inside the Arthouse, we sit down with Rob Nilsson, co-director of the groundbreaking 1979 film NORTHERN LIGHTS—winner of the prestigious Camera d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. Hailed as “the greatest movie you will never see,” this stunning indie gem has been lovingly revived by IndieCollect and is now re-released in a stunning 4K restoration by Kino Lorber, playing in select US arthouse theaters. NORTHERN LIGHTS tells the poignant story of young love set against the backdrop of a powerful political movement—Midwestern farmers rising up against the grain trade, railroad monopolies, and banks in the early 20th century. Shot in rich, black-and-white 16mm, the film evokes the feel of a long-lost photograph, capturing the stark beauty of the Northern Plains and a forgotten chapter of American history. We discuss how this rare and remarkable film came to be, its legacy, and what it means to see it back on the big screen. 🎧 Subscribe and listen as filmmaker Rob Nilsson shares never-before-heard insights into the making of this landmark indie feature.  @kinolorber   @laemmle @officialRaphaelSbarge BehindTheScenes #FilmDiscussion #MovieReview #NewReleases #NewFilmReleases #FilmLovers #Cinema #MoviePodcast #GregLaemmle #RaphaelSbarge #LaemmleTheatres #WatermelonPictures #FilmDistribution #MovieIndustry #FilmBusiness Video Podcast Independent Film / Indie Film Arthouse Film / Arthouse Movie Film Lovers / Cinema New Movie Releases / New Film Releases Repertory Cinema / Classic Films / Classic Movies Filmmaker Interviews / Filmmakers (Directors, Writers, Producers) Film Distributors / Film Distribution Movie Industry / Film Business / Movie Business Behind-the-Scenes Insights Film Discussion / Movie Reviews / Film Analysis Greg Laemmle / Raphael Sbarge Laemmle Theatre Northern Lights 1979 Cannes Film Festival Camera d'Or Indie film Independent film Rob Nilsson (co-director) Film restoration 4K restoration IndieCollect Kino Lorber Arthouse film Black and white film American history film Political struggle (film theme) Farmers movement (film theme) Grain trade (film theme) Banks (film theme) Railroads (film theme) Northern Plains (setting) Forgotten historyLost film Rare film Landmark film #InsideTheArthouse #FilmPodcast #IndieFilmHistory #AmericanCinema #RobNilsson #NorthernLightsFilm #CannesWinner #IndieCollect #KinoLorber #FilmRestoration #4KRestoration #ArthouseCinema #ForgottenFilms #ClassicIndie #CinemaHistory #FilmmakerInterview #PoliticalCinema #IndependentFilmPodcast #NorthernLightsMovie #RobNilsson #CameraDOrWinner #CannesFilmFestival #IndieFilm #IndependentFilm #KinoLorber #IndieCollect #ClassicMovies #FilmRestoration #BlackAndWhiteCinema #ForgottenAmericanHistory #PoliticalDrama #FarmersMovement #ArthouseFilm #1979Cinema #InsideTheArthouse #FilmmakerInterview #RareFilms #CinemaLovers Learn more about your ad choices.

🎙️ New Episode: "Jane Austen Wrecked My Life" – A Smart, Modern Twist on Austen-Inspired Romance 💌 It is a truth universally acknowledged that Jane Austen continues to inspire some of the most beloved films of all time—from faithful adaptations like the Oscar-winning Sense & Sensibility and Pride & Prejudice, to modern classics like Clueless (inspired by Emma), and fan-favorite Austen-adjacent titles like The Jane Austen Book Club, Austenland, and Cold Comfort Farm. Now, a delightful new entry joins that tradition: JANE AUSTEN WRECKED MY LIFE, a witty and heartfelt romantic comedy from filmmaker Laura Piani. Set between Paris and the English countryside, the film stars Camille Rutherford as a lovelorn Parisian bookseller who believes her chance at love has passed her by. But when she’s invited to a Jane Austen-themed writers’ retreat in England, she finds herself swept into an Austen-esque dilemma—navigating the attention of two suitors while trying to stay true to herself. A breakout hit at the Toronto International Film Festival, Jane Austen Wrecked My Life is now opening in theaters across the United States. 🎧 On this episode of Inside the Arthouse, we sit down with writer-director Laura Piani to explore how Austen’s legacy lives on in modern cinema, the challenges of making an indie romantic comedy, and the enduring appeal of finding love when you least expect it. @SonyClassics @laemmle @InsidetheArthouse #Jane Austen #indiefilms film #arthouse #comedy #drama #interview #film review #Cannes #filmlovers #filmmaking #filmfestival #quirkycomedy #cinema #RomanticComedy #romantic BehindTheScenes #FilmDiscussion #MovieReview #NewReleases #NewFilmReleases #FilmLovers #Cinema #MoviePodcast #GregLaemmle #RaphaelSbarge #LaemmleTheatres #WatermelonPictures #FilmDistribution #MovieIndustry #FilmBusiness Video Podcast Independent Film / Indie Film Arthouse Film / Arthouse Movie Film Lovers / Cinema New Movie Releases / New Film Releases Repertory Cinema / Classic Films / Classic Movies Filmmaker Interviews / Filmmakers (Directors, Writers, Producers) Film Distributors / Film Distribution Movie Industry / Film Business / Movie Business Behind-the-Scenes Insights Film Discussion / Movie Reviews / Film Analysis Greg Laemmle / Raphael Sbarge Laemmle Theatre Jane Austen movie movies about writers movies about writing romantic comedy film Paris bookseller aspiring writer women’s stories in film female writer protagonist writing residency bookshop romance reference to Jane Austen reference to Mr. Darcy love triangle best movies about books bookstore Shakespeare and Company Paris contemporary Jane Austen adaptation female-directed film French romantic comedy inspiration for writers movies set in England writer’s block book lover movie Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE, we sit down with Argentine filmmaker Iair Said — writer, director, and star of the offbeat, unforgettable comedy MOST PEOPLE DIE ON SUNDAYS. A breakout sensation from the Cannes Film Festival (ACID section), the film explores what happens not when extraordinary people die, but when ordinary people do — and how the rest of us live on in their absence.
