Brothers of the Head

Wed., June 28, 4:45 p.m., Laemmle Sunset 5Sat., July 1, 10 p.m., Mann Festival

Spirited away from their home by an unscrupu-lous music promoter, Barry and Tom are brooding conjoined twins being groomed to become the “next big thing.” But the more outside forces con-spire to control the brothers, the more they learn to fight back, transforming their musical sideshow into a fierce proto-punk missive against the world. This pseudo-documentary perfectly captures the rebellious, dark side of the 1970’s London music scene, while real-life twins Luke and Harry Treadaway give fiery performances, as complex and innovative as punk music itself. England. 94 min.

When a tragic accident at sea lands lobster fisher-man Eben in prison, he loses everything: his friends, his family and the only way of life he has ever known. Returning five years later, Eben finds himself an outsider in the place he once called home. With a knack for small, telling details, director Ian McCrudden’s portrait of life on the water feels completely authentic, while Thomas Hildreth brings a powerful inner resolve to his role as Eben, a man struggling to discover his future while making peace with his past. 97 min.

In Between Days

English and Korean with English subtitles

Thu., June 29, 9:30 p.m., Landmark Regent Sat., July 1, 7:00 p.m., Landmark Regent

Teenaged Aimie is a recent Korean immigrant to North America. Living with her mother in a dreary suburb, Aimie’s best and only friend is the taciturn but playful Tran, a fellow immigrant with whom she establishes a casual routine riding buses, playing arcade games and passing time indoors, insulated from the bitter winter. Just as Aimie begins to fall for Tran, however, his attentions turn to another girl. This stunningly beautiful first feature from writer/director So Yong Kim offers a passionate study of cultural adaptation and adolescent longing. USA/South Korea/Canada. 83 min.
