* New this Week: Michael Cuesta’s “L.I.E.,” one of last year’s strongest--and riskiest--movies, is a coming-of-age film that is a boldly imaginative yet subtle exploration of male sexuality in all its contradictions, complexities and fluidity and, beyond that, the interplay of love and sex. By the time it is through, “L.I.E.” has embraced tragedy, folly, perversity and outrageous dark humor and takes an unflinching look at the darker aspects of life in American suburbia. Brian Cox gives a robust yet reflective portrayal as a tragic figure whom no parent would want in the neighborhood. Billy Kay, Bruce Altman, James Costa and Marcia DeBonis co-star.
