Marie Antoinette
Director Sofia Coppola creates a self-indulgent retelling of the equally self-indulgent queen, played by Kirsten Dunst. The lavish production earned an Oscar for costume design. July 23
Orlando
We love history reimagined with creative abandon. In the gender-bending 1992 film, director Sally Potter turns a 17th-century nobleman, played by Tilda Swinton, into a woman soon after Queen Elizabeth I (actor Quentin Crisp) commands the young man to never change. July 30
Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen, a Journey, a Song
This Leonard Cohen documentary explores the singer-songwriter’s life through “Hallelujah,” his best-known hit that has since been covered by so many other recording artists. July 29-July 31
