To Rome With Love
Woody Allen’s romantic comedy starring
Penelope Cruz, Alec Baldwin, and Jesse
Eisenberg. | TO ROME WITH LOVE is a
kaleidoscopic comedy movie set in one of the
world’s most enchanting cities. The film brings
us into contact with a well-known American architect reliving his youth; an
average middle-class Roman who suddenly finds himself Rome’s biggest
celebrity; a young provincial couple drawn into separate romantic encounters; and
an American opera director endeavoring to put a singing mortician on stage.
While Rome is a city abundant with romance and comedy, To Rome With Love is
about people having adventures that will change their lives forever. Rating: R
Beasts of the Southern Wild
Low-budget yet spectacularly shot film about a young girl’s
adventures. | In a forgotten but defiant bayou community
cut off from the rest of the world by a sprawling levee,
Hushpuppy (Quvenzhané Wallis), a six-year-old girl, exists
on the brink of orphanhood. Buoyed by her childish
optimism and extraordinary imagination, she believes that
the natural world is in balance with the universe until a
fierce storm changes her reality. Desperate to repair the structure of her world in
order to save her ailing father and sinking home, this tiny hero must learn to
survive unstoppable catastrophes of epic proportions. Director and co-writer Benh
Zeitlin’s feature film debut. Rating: PG-13
Your Sister’s Sister
Emily Blunt, Rosemarie Dewitt and Mark Duplass star in
this comedy about romance, grief and sibling rivalry.
Mark Duplass (co-director of Jeff, Who Lives at Home
and Cyrus) stars as Jack, a slacker who’s still
emotionally unstable a year after his brother Tom’s
death. When he makes a scene at a memorial party,
Tom’s ex-girlfriend, Iris (Emily Blunt), offers up her family cabin on an island in the
Pacific Northwest so Jack can seek catharsis in solitude. Once there, however, he
runs into Iris’ sister, Hannah (Rosemarie DeWitt), a lesbian reeling from the abrupt
end of a seven-year relationship, who finds solace in the affable Tom’s unexpected
presence, and the two bond over a long night of drinking. Rating: R
Queen Of Versailles
Sundance Film Festival award-winning documentary about a
billionaire couple who live in a 90,000-square-foot mansion
inspired by the Palace of Versailles. | The Queen of Versailles is
a character-driven documentary about a billionaire family and
their financial challenges in the wake of the economic crisis.
The story follows billionaires Jackie and David’s rags-to-riches
story to uncover the innate virtues and flaws of the American
dream. We open on the triumphant construction of the biggest house in America, a
sprawling, 90,000-square-foot mansion inspired by Versailles that comes to a halt
and seals the fate of its owners. We witness the impact of this turn of fortune with
delusion, denial, and self-effacing humor. Winner of the U.S. Directing Award for
Documentary Film at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival. Rating: PG
Neil Young Journeys
| New concert film reuniting
the idiosyncratic Canadian rocker and director Jonathan Demme.
In May of 2011, Neil Young drove a 1956 Crown Victoria from his
idyllic hometown of Omemee, Ontario to downtown Toronto’s
iconic Massey Hall where he intimately performed the last two
nights of his solo world tour. Along the drive, Young recounted
insightful and introspective stories from his youth to filmmaker
Jonathan Demme, a long-time friend, fan and collaborator.
Demme captured these tales of Young’s childhood and masterfully weaved them
together with his mesmerizing music including songs Ohio,” “Hey Hey”, and “I Believe
in You,” Young’s intense performances are presented in full, along with passages from
the funny and sometimes wistful ride into town. Rating: PG
The Intouchables
Feel-good dramatic comedy that has become a cultural
phenomenon in France. | The Intouchables, by French
writer/directors Olivier Nakache and Eric Toledano, is the
inspiring true story of two men who should never have
met—a quadriplegic aristocrat who was injured in a
paragliding accident and a young man from the projects.
After Driss (Omar Sy, César Award winner for Best Actor) is
hired as caretaker for Philippe (François Cluzet, Tell No One), they learn that
sometimes you have to reach into someone else’s world to find what’s missing
in your own. Rating: R
Take This Waltz
A happily married woman falls for an artist with Michelle
Williams and Seth Rogen. | When Margot (Michelle
Williams, Blue Valentine), 28, meets handsome artist Daniel
(Luke Kirby), their chemistry is intense and immediate. But
Margot suppresses her sudden attraction; she is happily
married to Lou (Seth Rogen), a cookbook writer. When
Margot learns that Daniel lives across the street from them,
the certainty about her domestic life shatters. She and Daniel steal moments
throughout the steaming Toronto summer, their eroticism heightened by their
restraint. Swelteringly hot, bright and colorful like a bowl of fruit, Take This Waltz
leads us, laughing, through the familiar, but uncharted question of what long-term
relationships do to love, sex, and our images of ourselves. Rating: R
Peace, Love And Misunderstanding
Jane Fonda, Catherine Keener, and Elizabeth Olsen star as
three generations of women negotiating their different
outlooks on life. | Catherine Keener (Academy Award
nominee for Capote) stars as Diane, a conservative New York
City lawyer who is in desperate need of an escape after her
husband asks for a divorce. Along with her two children, she
takes refuge at her estranged hippie mother Grace’s (Jane
Fonda) farmhouse, where she is exposed to a motley crew of free thinkers. What
was meant to be a stress-free getaway quickly turns into a reminder of why Diane
escaped her mother’s hippie lifestyle in the first place, but the reunion forces her to
search for peace. Also starring Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Rating: R
Hysteria | Sumptuous Victorian romantic comedy
reveals the electrifying, true story about the invention of a
device that is still unmentionable today in polite society.
Stars Maggie Gyllenhaal, Hugh Dancy, Jonathan Pryce, Felicity
Jones and Rupert Everett. | Hysteria is a lighthearted
romantic comedy that tells the surprising story of the birth
of the electro-mechanical device at the very peak of Victorian
prudishness. Mortimer Granville, a struggling young doctor,
is hired by Dr. Robert Dalrymple, London’s leading specialist in women’s medicine.
Seeking refuge with his lifelong friend, the eccentric Edmund St. John Smythe has a
passion for newfangled technology. More than a playful comic romp, Hysteria is a
feisty love story and a celebration of the forward-thinking spirit. Rating: R
Safety Not Guaranteed
From the producers of “Little Miss Sunshine,” an endearing
comedy about a guy who advertises for a companion for
time travel. | In the scrappy romantic comedy Safety Not
Guaranteed, an unusual classified ad inspires three cynical
Seattle magazine employees (Aubrey Plaza, Jake Johnson
and Karan Soni) to look for the story behind it. They
discover a mysterious eccentric named Kenneth (Mark
Duplass, Your Sister’s Sister), a likable but paranoid supermarket clerk, who
believes he’s solved the riddle of time travel and intends to depart again soon.
Together, they embark on a hilarious, smart and unexpectedly heartfelt journey
that reveals how far believing can take you. Written by Derek Connolly and
directed by Colin Trevorrow. Rating: R
