- White God
Aside from David Cronenberg’s Maps to the Stars, the only movie I’ve seen this year that really made me jump out of my seat was White God, a Hungarian drama about man’s inhumanity to mutt that played in last month’s European Union Film Festival and opens Friday at Music Box. Downtown at the Gene Siskel Film Center, the Asian American Showcase kicks off that same night with Man From Reno, a genial whodunit from director Dave Boyle (Surrogate Valentine, Daylight Savings). And be sure to check out Ben Sachs’s Q&A with Charlie Minn, whose drug-war documentary Es El Chapo? screens all week at the reopened Patio Theater on Irving Park.
