Two well-reviewed indies are taking a bow in limited release in the shadow of Dune, A24’s Problemista by Julio Torres, and Shayda from Sony Pictures Classics, the feature debut of Noora Niasari.
Torres, the comedian, actor and writer, in his directorial debut, stars with Tilda Swinton as Problemista gets its release at last after being bumped from August due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. He also penned the screenplay, and produced alongside Fruit Tree’s Dave McCary, Ali Herting and Emma Stone. Premiered at SXSW last year, see Deadline review, and sits at 91% with critics on Rotten Tomatoes.
This surreal comedy adventure amid the treacherous worlds of New York City and the U.S. Immigration system follows Torres’ Alejandro, an aspiring toy designer from El Salvador trying to land a spot at Hasbro’s incubator program. When he’s fired from the cryogenic center where he tends to a frozen painter (rapper RZA), he needs a sponsor fast to stay in the U.S. and begins working with the artist’s oddball wife (Swinton) to arrange a gallery show of her former spouse, who only painted pictures of eggs.
Narrated by Isabella Rossellini, it opens in five theaters in New York and Los Angeles (with sold out Q&A screenings in LA). Adds cities next week including Boston, Houston, San Francisco and Washington, D.C. alongside Torres’ comedy tour — The Problemista Tour: Julio Torres and Friends — through March. Screened by A24 in NYC last week at the Village East with Torres, Swinton, Rossellini and Stone present, plus fans Steve Buscemi, Vanessa Kirby, Hunter Schafer and Ramy Youssef.
