Two Days in
Paris
March 31
Rated 14A Director: Julie
Delpy
Julie Delpy is a
woman of many talents. She has recently transitioned into the role of writer and
director, adding to her career as a gifted musician and a well known actor. Her
performance in Trois Couleurs: Blanc was particularly acclaimed.
Two
Days in Paris, which Delpy wrote, composed and directed and was chosen for its
World premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival.
As the
film begins a thirty five year old couple are arriving in Paris, stopping on the
way home to New York after a largely unpleasant European vacation for a brief
visit with family. Both are hoping for a nice romantic stopover. Plenty of
cross-cultural hijinks ensue as the couple try to find a common ground in the
City of Love.
There
is no shortage of humour to be found in the clash of cultures featured in Two
Days in Paris. Delpy takes full advantage of what’s at hand to craft a
whimsical, resonant and engaging comedy..
Into the
Wild. The beauty of Into the Wild which Sean Penn has written and
directed with magnificent precision and imaginative grace, is what
Christopher is running from is never as important as what he’s running
to. (O. Gleiberman)
Sean Penn’s spellbinding film adaptation of
this book stays close to the source. (R.Ebert)
After
graduating from Emory University, top student and athlete Christopher McCandless
abandons his possessions, gives his entire $24,000 savings account to charity
and hitchhikes to Alaska to live in the wilderness. Along the way, Christopher
encounters a series of characters that shape his life.
This fascinating subject matter which offers a celebration of the
Romani music in America. Dellal who hails from Great Britain enlisted
the help of two noted filmmakers to work on the cinematography of this
remarkable film. Allain de Halleux and legendary Cinema verite Albert
Maysles.
As a tribute to the Romani culture and its eclectic array of musical
styles the film truly shines, allowing the concerts to unfold before
the viewer as though they had suddenly been transported tot the middle
of the action. Gypsy Caravan also transcends its roots taking viewers
into the local villages and cultures that inspired this glorious
music.
A potent combination of ethnography and concert film. (R.Scheib)
Six
Californians start a club to discuss the works of Jane Austen, only to find
their relationships -- both old and new -- begin to resemble 21st century
versions of her novels. Jane Austen Book Club an entertaining carefully
assembled piece of clock work that imposes order on ever more complicated gender
warfare (S.Holden)
Everyone is given their due and dignity in this funny humanist film that, if
it’s a chick flick, gives the genre a good name. (A.Hornaday)
