INTERNATIONAL FILM SERIES

International Film Series Amour (France, 2012)

No (Chile, 2012)

February 7, 2014

April 4, 2014

Perhaps the most acclaimed film we’ve ever shown in our series (Palme d’Or at Cannes; Oscar for best foreign film; nominations for best picture, director, actress and screenplay), “Amour” is also a wonderful introduction to contemporary master Michael Haneke (“Funny Games,” “The White Ribbon”). A deceptively simple premise – an elderly couple attempts home care after the wife has a stroke – becomes devastating through its unflinching attention to detail and commentary on the true, ultimate nature of romantic commitment.

In 1988, Chilean Dictator Augusto Pinochet offers his people the appearance of democracy by allowing them to vote for his re-election. A small committee for the No vote struggle against popular apathy – until they enlist a youthful advertising executive to stir up the electorate, with hilarious, fascinating results. Director Pablo Larrain’s follow-up to our recent screening of “Tony Manero,” was summed up this way in The Globe and Mail: “Take the backroom political machinations of ‘Lincoln,’ add in the showbiz sleight of hand of ‘Argo’ and you’ll get something like ‘No’ … cunning and richly enjoyable.”

Rust and Bone (France, 2012) March 7, 2014 A timeless premise – two damaged souls falling in love – becomes a primal celebration of life thanks to director Jacques Audiard (“A Prophet”) in “Rust and Bone.” After a debilitating injury, Stephanie finds comfort and meaning with Sam, an unemployed underground boxer. Intensely physical style becomes philosophical content in a movie that was universally praised for Marion Cotillard’s frank performance. Her “proud and pleading gaze would have made her a star in the silent era, and (her) emotional yield is so unstinting that she seems to be acting a nude scene even when fully clothed.” –The New Yorker

The Act of Killing (Denmark/Indonesia, 2013) May 2, 2014 Documentarian Joshua Oppenheimer invites Indonesia’s Anwar Congo to re-enact a murderous anti-communist coup by his paramilitary group in the 1960s. Encouraged to use cinema to explain himself as he sees fit, Congo’s bizarre response – the closest his party has ever come to being held accountable for genocidal actions – is itself documented in this film. Executive produced by acclaimed filmmakers Errol Morris and Werner Herzog (“Cave of Forgotten Dreams”). As Herzog said, “I have not seen a film as powerful, surreal and frightening in at least a decade ... it is unprecedented in the history of cinema.”
