Featuring a haunting, stunning lead performance, HIGH TIDE opens October 25.

October 16, 2024 by Jordan Deglise Moore

High Tide begins with Lourenço, a Brazilian immigrant whose visa is about to expire. He finds himself heartbroken and adrift when his American boyfriend unexpectedly leaves him alone in Provincetown with fleeting promises of his return. Enveloped by the beauty and magic of the seaside community, he grows distressed by the day as his once-hopeful future has dimmed into an emotional and physical state of limbo. When he meets Maurice, they form an unexpected connection. Together, they begin to find acceptance while they struggle to reconcile their uncertain futures. Marco Pigossi plays Lourenço, James Bland plays Maurice, and Mya Taylor, Marisa Tomei and Bill Irwin co-star. Tomei also served as an executive producer. We open High Tide on October 25 at the Royal and NoHo.

The 7:10 PM screenings of High Tide at the NoHo on October 25 and 26 and the 4 PM screening at the Royal on October 27 will feature in-person Q&A’s with the stars and filmmakers. Details here.

“A haunting lead performance from Marco Pigossi, steeped in melancholy and raw pain but also in moments of openness, optimism and even joy, helps make High Tide an affecting portrait of untethered gay men seeking meaningful connections.” ~ David Rooney, Hollywood Reporter

“Pigossi delivers a stunning performance that practically heat-welds together the film’s disparate parts, making it feel whole despite the flaws in its construction.” ~ Siddhant Adlakha, Variety

“High Tide is a movie that dares you not to be obsessed with — and attracted to — its leading man.” ~ Ryan Lattanzio, indieWire

“A soulful study of a person who fears he’s become a permanent guest in someone else’s home.” ~ Stephen Saito, Moveable Fest

“The film is a sexy reminder that even when we believe our circumstances can’t improve, someone can always come along to change our perspective on what we value and hold close to our hearts. Pigossi and Bland’s chemistry is worth the watch.” ~ Matthew Creith, Edge Media Network

“Just as importantly, it finds an understated resonance in every small detail, from shots of a face shifting in emotion to a figure being left behind in the distance.” ~ Chase Hutchinson, The Stranger

#LoveHotel
A tale of two broken souls. A call-girl named Yumi, “night-blooming flower,” and Tetsuro, a married man with a debt to the yakuza, have a violent rendezvous in a cheap love hotel. Years later, haunted by the memory of that night, they reconnect and begin a strange love affair. "[Somai's] exquisite visual compositions (of lonely bedrooms, concrete piers, and nocturnal courtyards) infuse even the film’s racy images with a somber sense of longing and introspection, finding beauty and humanity in the midst of the macabre." ~ New York Times #LoveHotel #ShinjiSomai #JapaneseCinema
