Creaking out of the gates ...

An appealing cast lures us to the latest Coen Brothers giddiness, "Hail, Caesar."

We'll give Chile's Pablo Larrain ("No," "Tony Manero") one more shot with another takedown of the Catholic church, "The Club."

From France, the sexual frustration of Army spouses in "Fort Buchanan."

Philippe Garrel ("Jealousy," "A Burning Hot Summer") takes a lighter tack with relationships with his latest, "In the Shadow of Women."

From Romanian director Corneliu Porumboiu ("12:08 East of Bucharest" and the disappointing "Police, Adjective"), a quirky comic-drama about a buried fortune, "Treasure."

Also from Romania, Radu Jude's 19th-century Gypsy Western, "Aferim."

Oscar Isaac and Garrett Hedlund team up for a raw crime thriller set in the California desert, "Mojave."

Perhaps the final documentary centered on the world view of Noam Chomsky (now 87), "Requiem for the American Dream."
