New Indie
Emma Seligman’s impressive “Shiva Baby” (Utopia) premieres on Blu-ray this month, and it’s a blisteringly funny, character-based comedy about a young Danielle (played by Rachel Sennott) whose rootless life when she attends a shiva with her parents (Fred Melamed and Polly Draper), only to encounter the boyfriend who’s financially supporting her, his wife — whom Danielle didn’t know existed — and Danielle’s ex-girlfriend. It’s a full buffet of misunderstandings, awkward encounters, and scene-stealing character actors, with a cast that also includes Jackie Hoffman, Dianna Agron, and Molly Gordon.
Also available: A jaded clickbait reporter has an unforgettable encounter in the indie comedy “15 Things You Didn’t Know About Bigfoot” (Kino Lorber); over-the-hill kung fu disciples rouse themselves from mid-life torpor to avenge the death of their master in the martial-arts comedy “The Paper Tigers” (Well Go USA Entertainment).

What is Pompei (Pompéi) exactly? Is it a town? A ruin? A state of mind?
In this bewitchingly made but relatively empty feature from filmmakers John Shank and Anna Falguères, it seems to be many things at once, and yet nothing at all.
Set in an unspecific time and location — somewhere between the scorched 70s-era vistas of Terence Malick’s Badlands and a community not unlike that in Lord of the Flies — the film follows a trio of French 20-somethings fending for themselves in a no-man’s-land where adults are mostly absent and children left to their own devices....
