We're not sure what we're more excited for this weekend: nursing our fixation with the life and death of Anthony Bourdain Remind List , melting into a puddle over the queer love story that is I Carry You With Me Past Event List , or telling our friends we're busy so we can enjoy Space Jam: A New Legacy Remind List in solitude. If none of those new releases pique your interest, no worries—this week's roundup of new movies and shows to watch includes even more of our picks, like Hong Sangsoo's The Woman Who Ran Past Event List , streaming via Northwest Film Forum, and Pig Remind List , starring Nicolas Cage as an Oregonian truffle hunter on a mission to retrieve his kidnapped business partner. See our on-demand calendar for even more options, and check out our timeline of indie movie theaters List planning their returns.

I Carry You With Me Past Event List
A chance encounter between two men in provincial Mexico leads to a decade-spanning love story in Heidi Ewing's Spanish-language drama, which won an Independent Spirit Award for Best First Feature.  
Grand Cinema

Pig Remind List
A truffle hunter living his best life in the Oregon wilderness has no choice but to return to Portland civilization when his beloved pig/business partner gets kidnapped (or maybe it saw the movie Babe and became enchanted with the big city).

Opening Friday

Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain Remind List
Despite his singular style and occasionally crass tendencies, the late food writer, chef, TV personality, and original exemplar of Big Dick Energy enjoyed a hugely eclectic following. His life, which ended in suicide in 2018, is celebrated in this documentary by Oscar-winning director Morgan Neville (20 Feet from Stardom, Won't You Be My Neighbor?), which, through interviews with his friends, naturally also explores the toll fame took on his mental health. "The redemption here—if there may, please, please, be some—is in the celebration of his life, and in the fact that all the love for him clearly cannot do anything but continue on," writes Bethany Jean Clement for Seattle Times
Various theaters

Space Jam: A New Legacy Remind List

Can You Bring It: Bill T. Jones and D-Man in the Waters Past Event List
The modern dance choreographer Bill T. Jones's 1989 tour de force ballet D-Man in the Waters rose from the AIDS crisis, but its message transcends the epidemic with its representation of the "fear, anger, grief, and hope for salvation" that comes with any global tragedy. Documentarians Rosalynde LeBlanc and Tom Hurwitz explore the piece's origins and the personal life of its creator while a dance troupe revives it for the present-day stage.
Northwest Film Forum
Starting Friday

The Woman Who Ran Past Event List
A woman has three meaningful encounters with friends while her husband is away on a business trip in the 24th feature from South Korean director Hong Sangsoo. The Guardian calls it "a bittersweet rumination on female friendships."
