Albert Serra’s provocative period piece Liberté and Quentin Dupieux’s rollicking, absurdist tale Deerskin are now playing in the FLC Virtual Cinema, and both stories have no shortage of shocking moments. To celebrate their unexpected turns and jaw-dropping moments, we asked the FLC community on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook to share the most surprising moment they had ever experienced in a movie. Featuring selected scenes from recent favorites such as Parasite, Uncut Gems, Once Upon a Time in… Hollywood, and Hereditary, as well as Sátántangó (also now playing our Virtual Cinema), Mulholland Dr., Alien, Cache, Breaking the Waves, The Vanishing, Dogtooth, Diabolique, and others, surprises and spoilers abound. Thanks to everyone who joined the conversation!
