As much as I enjoy watching Willem Dafoe movies and crazy 1980s music videos on YouTube, sometimes I need to break out of my comfort zone. Here are my fave choices from this year’s TIFF lineup. P.S. I may or may not have a man-crush on Ben Wheatley.

GREEN ROOM:

Patrick Stewart as the leader of a white supremacist gang. Do you really need to hear more?

THE LOBSTER:

Dogtooth director Yorgos Lanthimos is back with a film that looks set to satisfy all my existential surrealism AND John C. Reilly needs.

ANOMALISA:

It’s an animated Charlie Kaufman movie for Christ’s sake!

YAKUZA APOCALYPSE:

Because I really want to know what goes on in a Yakuza knitting circle

HIGH-RISE:

Anybody have an extra ticket?
