New Releases for May 12 2026

PETER HUJAR'S DAY (2025) (Criterion Premieres) 

A loving snapshot of a vanished New York, director Ira Sachs's captivating cultural time capsule is a warm, witty, graceful re-creation of a real-life conversation that took place between photographer Peter Hujar (Ben Whishaw) and writer Linda Rosenkrantz (Rebecca Hall) in 1974. Peter Hujar's Day eavesdrops on the two friends' leisurely, affectionate hangout as Hujar recounts his previous day's activities, offering insights into both his art and his everyday life. What emerges is a touching celebration of creativity, connection, and simply being present, made exceptionally vivid by Sachs's cinematic flourishes and wonderfully tender performances from Whishaw and Hall, whose chemistry gives the film its heart and soul. (BLU-RAY and DVD)

MYSTICS IN BALI (1981) 

In the mystic east, they like their films up front and gory. This Indonesian creature- feature will leave western viewers stunned with its audacious plot and outrageous shock scenes. Be warned - you've never seen a film like this before!

A young American woman on holiday in Bali becomes fascinated by tales of the local black magic cult known as the Leyak. She seeks out a Leyak witch and attempts to learn her secrets. Needless to say, it all goes horribly wrong!

THE DELTA (1996) (Criterion Collection) 

The complexities of race, class, and sexuality collide within a Memphis community in the strikingly raw debut feature from director Ira Sachs. With neorealist immediacy, The Delta tells what at first appears to be a simple love story: two young men—Lincoln (Shayne Gray), a closeted white teenager, and Minh (Thang Chan), a Black Vietnamese immigrant—meet at a cruising spot and embark on a nighttime journey by boat down the Mississippi River. But soon, imbalances of power and privilege emerge between them, as the film develops into a devastating vision of lost, wounded souls reaching out in the dark for human connection. (BLU-RAY)

MISTER FROST (1990) 

But who is Mr. Frost? Arrested by Felix Detweiler in his Brighton mansion, in whose garden he buried 24 victims whose torture sessions he filmed, Mr. Frost has no legal existence and remains an enigma for the authorities. Three months after his arrest, he becomes completely silent. After two years of being moved from one institution to another throughout Europe, he breaks his silence upon his arrival at St. Clare’s Hospital, announcing that he will only speak to Dr. Sarah Day. (BLU-RAY + 4K)
