Colorful and action-packed, this jubilant film endearingly spoofs James Bond-style
spy adventures from the 1960s. The setting is Egypt, 1955. Cairo is a veritable
nest of spies, with everyone wary of everyone and plotting against everyone:
the English, French, Soviets—even the radical Eagles of Kheops brotherhood.
To bring order to this desert at the edge of chaos, the French Secret Service
sends their main weapon: Hubert Bonisseur de la Bath (Jean Dujardin), a super
agent and ladies man otherwise known as OSS 117. His mission: investigate
the death of a friend and fellow spy, control the Suez Canal and establish
peace in the Middle East! Directed by Michel Hazanavicius. Official Web

Having lost his passion for teaching and writing, 62-year-old Walter
Vale (Richard Jenkins) fills the void by trying to learn to play classical
piano. Sent to Manhattan to attend a conference, Walter is surprised to find
a young couple has taken up residence in his apartment. Victims of a real
estate scam, Tarek (Haaz Sleiman), a Syrian man, and Zainab (Danai Gurira),
his Senegalese girlfriend, have nowhere else to go. In the first of a series
of tests of the heart, Walter reluctantly allows the couple to stay with him.
Touched by his kindness, the talented Tarek insists on teaching the aging
academic to play the African drum. The instrument's exuberant rhythms revitalize
Walter's faltering spirit and open his eyes to a vibrant world of local jazz
clubs and Central Park drum circles. When Tarek is arrested as an undocumented
citizen and held for deportation, Walter finds himself compelled to help his
new friend with a passion he thought he had long ago lost. Written and directed
by Tom McCarthy (The Station Agent). Official Web Site Director Tom McCarthy is fascinated by how and why people connect A.O. Scott's New York Times review... |

revelation. Adapted from Elinor Lipman's novel of the same name. Official

 |
| This sexy, playful, poignant tale kicks off just as Phillip (Anders Danielsen Lie) and Erik (Espen Klouman-Høiner)—two cocky, grinning rebels full of the verve and dreams of 20-year-olds everywhere—ship off their first novels to publishers, each hoping to become a wildly influential "cult author." Fast-forward six months. These reveries have crashed, hard, into reality. Phillip, whose novel garnered instant acclaim and turned him into a mini-celebrity, has had a terrifying breakdown. Erik, who never sold his novel, is still pecking away, determined to follow in the footsteps of his undying hero, a reclusive but idolized writing genius. Nimbly moving both backwards and forwards in time—via a dazzling mix of flashbacks, rapid-fire editing, philosophical voiceovers and comical flights of fancy—the film traces how Erik and Phillip arrived at this precipice where exuberant youth runs into the harsh light of day…and witnesses the emotionally gripping aftermath. Directed and co-written by Joachim Trier. Official Web Site |

| Why are so many of our heroes on performance enhancing drugs? From the producers of Bowling for Columbine and Fahrenheit 9/11 comes a new documentary that unflinchingly explores our win-at-all-cost culture through the lens of a personal journey. Blending comedy and pathos, writer/director Christopher Bell's film is a collision of pop culture, animated sequences and first-person narrative, with a diverse cast including U.S. Congressmen, professional athletes, medical experts and everyday gym rats. At its heart, this is the story of the director and his two brothers, who grew up idolizing muscular giants like Hulk Hogan, Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger, and who went on to become members of the steroid-subculture in an effort to realize their American dream. When you discover that your heroes have all broken the rules, do you follow the rules, or do you follow your heroes? Official Web Site |
