April 25 – May 1 - "The Duchess of Langeais"

Slowly but expertly, veteran French director Jacques Rivette directs this adaptation of a Balzac novel. Sent during the Restoration, The Duchess of Langeais, depicts the ill-fated love affair between a Antoinette, a calculating Parisian socialite, and Armand de Montriveau, a Napoleonic war hero.

The Buzz…

“The gorgeous floorboards creak -- loudly -- in the veteran French director Jacques Rivette's fascinating drawing-room war of the sexes.”
Owen Glieberman, Entertainment Weekly

“Handsomely produced and featuring fine performances, the film will travel well to festivals and art houses where audiences respond to classy period pieces with a modern sensibility.”
Ray Bennet, Hollywood Reporter

“No lavish costume drama, it's instead a theatrical dissection of the spiteful games lovers play.”
Jamie Russell, BBC

Set in a small Italian town in the 1960s and 70s, My Brother is An Only Child, tells the story of two brothers who want to change the world – but in completely different ways. Manrico, the elder, is a charismatic firebrand who joins the local Communist party while his younger brother, Accio, follows his own path and joins the Fascists. The rift between the brothers is further deepened one brother falls for the others’ girlfriend. 

The Buzz…

“Despite its charged historical backdrop, [director] Luchetti keeps My Brother light and snappy without sacrificing narrative tension.”
Mark Holcomb, Time Out New York

“A fine and engaging study of two personalities, seemingly in sharp contrast, that prove awfully alike in the end.”
Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter

“What makes My Brother Is an Only Child so alive and entertaining is how it dramatizes the endless tug-of-war between political conviction and personal experience -- the way the lines twist and blur and finally implode.”

Fri, May 9 - Thu, May 15 - "Married Life"

A wry blend of dark humor, romantic deception, and stylish melodrama--with an invigorating dash of suspense--Married Life is an unconventional fable for grown-ups about the irresistible power and utter madness of love. After decades of marital contentment, Harry (Chris Cooper) concludes that he must kill his wife Pat (Patricia Clarkson) because he loves her too much to let her suffer when he leaves her. Set in the 1940s Married Life, an impeccably acted chamber piece, also stars Pierce Brosnan and Rachel McAdams.

The Buzz...

... A stellar ensemble cast, and much of the pleasure of Married Life is watching the subtle detail the actors bring to their roles.
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

Married Life is an engaging romance noir, a sort of updated The Postman Always Rings Twice that packs its surprises into four characters, none of them predictable.
Desson Thomson, Washington Post

A playful riff on film noir that starts by upending every '40s movie cliché.
Dana Stevens Slate Magazine

Running Time 1 hour and 30 minutes, Rated PG 13

May 16th – 22nd - "Then She Found Me"

Helen Hunt makes her feature directing debut in this romantic comedy about April Epner (Hunt), a teacher whose life is turned upside down in one week.  Separated from her husband (Matthew Broderick), April is contacted by her eccentric birth month (Bette Midler) after the death of her adopted mother. A subplot involves April’s budding romance with the father of one of her students (Colin Firth). Be sure to look for a cameo by Salman Rushdie as an obstetrician (yes, that Salman Rushdie).   

The Buzz…

“Helen Hunt makes an exceptionally deft and self-assured debut…a smart, subtle and seriously funny dramedy”
Joe Leydon, Variety

“A charming and downright delightful spin on the romantic comedy genre... often genuinely hilarious.”
David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews

“Tries to say too much all at once, but great performances from Firth and Midler carry it.”
Joshua Tyler, CinemaBlend.com

May 23rd - 29th - "The Flight of the Red Balloon"

A magical tribute to Albert Lamorrisse's 1956 children's classic The Red Balloon. In this critically acclaimed film, a mysterious red balloon affectionately follows a precocious seven-year-old boy around Paris. Juliette Binoche portrays Suzanne, harried Parisian puppeteer, who hires a Taiwanese film student (Song Fang), to help her care for her son Simon. 

The Buzz…

“One of the unexpected delights of this year's New York Film Festival, a movie whose profundity sneaks up on you and wraps you in a soft embrace. Gives a vivid shape and vital intensity to daily life.”
Gene Seymour, Newsday

“In The Flight of the Red Balloon, the great Taiwanese filmmaker Hou Hsiao Hsien uses Albert Lamorisse’s 1956 masterpiece The Red Balloon as a springboard for his own masterpiece -- a distinctively modern and allusive one, yet so tender and plaintive that you understand what Hou is up to on a preconscious level.”
David Edlestein, New York Magazine 

“If I see no film better than "The Flight of the Red Balloon" at Cannes this year, I'll leave a happy man…A work of tremendous precision and heartfelt emotion, made by one of the great artists in the medium.”
Andrew O’Hehir, Salon.com

Fri, May 30 - Thu, Jun 5 - "Priceless"

A firm tip of the hat to Breakfast at Tiffany's, this sexy and thoroughly charming French comedy features Amelie's Audrey Tautou and the charming Gad Elmaleh (The Valet ). Jean, a shy young bartender, is mistaken for a wealthy man by lovely but opportunistic Irene. When Irene discovers his true identity, she dumps him, only to find that a smitten Jean has no intention of letting her get away.

The Buzz...

Stop laughing long enough, and you'll see that it's a picture about compromised lives and love for sale. But no one who watches Priceless will stop laughing for that long.
Mick La Salle, San Francisco Chronicle

Pierre Salvadori's delightful comedy, picturesquely set in a series of posh hotels on the French Riviera, throws together two terrific comic actors and an irresistible premise.
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

Divine chemistry. Classic farce structure. Gags that flow with the story and leave us smiling. And the payoff packs more of an emotional punch than it has any right to expect.
Christian Toto, Washington Times
