When "Krisha" premiered at the SXSW Film Festival last year, audiences gave the film standing ovations. Critics hailed it and director Trey Edward Shults for the film's compelling storyline.

This "Rake's Progress" is opera at its finest - a modern retelling of a legend brought to life with glorious artists and a strong production.

As "The Two Faces of January" gets underway, Rydal (Oscar Isaac) is shown giving a tour of the Parthenon and telling those following him the story of Theseus and the death of his father Aegeus upon seeing the black sails on his ship.
