Jim Jarmusch, Gaspar Noé, and Beautiful Boy: Weekend Film Releases Reviewed

Three distinct films are recommended for the weekend: Jim Jarmusch's zombie comedy "The Dead Don't Die," the addiction drama "Beautiful Boy" starring Steve Carell and Timothée Chalamet, and Gaspar Noé's hallucinatory horror "Climax." "The Dead Don't Die" opened the 72nd Cannes Film Festival and features Bill Murray, Adam Driver, and Tilda Swinton. It follows the residents of Centerville battling the undead. "Beautiful Boy" is based on two autobiographies by David Sheff and his son Nic, depicting a family's struggle with drug addiction. "Climax" is inspired by a 1996 news event where dancers at a party are drugged, descending into chaos. Noé defended the film's adult rating at a Fondazione Prada press conference. Meanwhile, "Aladdin," "Il traditore," and "Pet 2" continue to lead the box office.
