Joaquim Pinto
2013|
Portugal|
164 minutes|
Portuguese with English subtitles
One week exclusive theatrical run!
First-person filmmaking at its most intimate and expansive, Pinto’s latest work emerged from a year in which the director endured an experimental clinical trial for HIV patients. A testament to the joys of a fully lived life, and to the inseparability of art and life.
Allison Berg
2013|
USA|
101 minutes
One week only!
Allison Berg and Frank Keraudren’s portrait of the motor-mouthed, completely uncorked John Wojtowicz, whose 1972 botched robbery of a Brooklyn bank was dramatized in Dog Day Afternoon, is hilarious, hair-raising, and giddily profane.
Catherine Breillat
2013|
France|
105 minutes|
French with English subtitles
Adapting her own novel, Abuse of Weakness is a hauntingly personal film, starring Isabelle Huppert as a woman who (like Breillat in real life) suffers a serious stroke and is then defrauded by a notorious con man (rapper Kool Shen) whom she casts in a film.
Philippe Garrel
2013|
France|
77 minutes|
French with English subtitles
Two week exclusive theatrical run!
In this sharp, vigorous film, Garrel takes a fresh look at his titular subject, patiently following the professional and emotional crosscurrents between two romantically entwined theater actors played by the director’s son Louis and Anna Mouglalis.
Lav Diaz
2007|
Philippines|
540 minutes|
Filipino, Bicolano, English, and Tagalog with English subtitles
Shot in stark black-and-white in the immediate wake of Super Typhoon Durian, which caused widespread destruction in the Philippines in 2006, Diaz’s eighth feature is an engrossing account of several people responding to the aftermath as they navigate the ravaged Bicol region.
