RIDING ALONE FOR THOUSANDS OF MILES
From director and three-time Academy Award nominee Zhang Yimou (also director of Hero and House of Flying Daggers) comes a poignant story of one man's journey across China's heartland.
"This is a movie for all cultures and all people, for families and especially for those who have lost them." — Michael Wilmington, The Chicago Tribune
ARMY OF SHADOWS Making its U.S. debut, Jean-Peirre Melville's 1969 masterpiece is an intimate epic of the French Resistance in World War II.
"This restored 35mm print, now in art theatres around the country, may be 37 years old, but it is the best foreign film of the year." — Robert Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
AMERICAN HARDCORE
The documentary American Hardcore traces the lost punk-rock subculture from its early roots in 1980 to its initial flameout in 1986.
"This documentary is an enlightening journey to a dark corner of contemporary punk's dank little basement. It will surprise some to hear how articulately some of the former performers explain the dark impulses that propelled them." — Scott Martelle, Los Angeles Times
R for language and drug abuse
13 (TZAMETI)
Winner of the 2006 Grand Jury Prize at Sundance, this first film by French filmmaker Georges Babluani focuses on a young man who has decided to follow instructions intended for someone else, without knowing where they will take him. When he reaches his destination, he falls into a degenerate, clandestine world of mental chaos behind closed doors in which men gamble on the lives of others.
"13 (Tzameti) is an existential horror film, a violent prank, a metaphor for modern Europe, and a first-time director's startling calling card." — Ty Burr, Boston Globe
86 minutes; French with English subtitles
10 ITEMS OR LESS
Morgan Freeman plays an actor preparing for an upcoming role who hits the road with a quirky grocery clerk, to explore their respective worlds.
R for language
THE BRIDESMAID
A hardworking young man meets and falls in love with his sister's bridesmaid, only to find out how disturbed she really is.
"Claude Chabrol makes his particular kind of unnerving, deliciously amoral thrillers look easy." — Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
111 minutes; French with English subtitles
TIDELAND
Tideland celebrates the resiliency of childhood and the power of the imagination as only Terry Gilliam could conceive it.
R for disturbing content, including drug use, sexuality, and gruesome situations involving a child
