LOVE IS ALL YOU NEED

Denmark/Italian. 2013. Directed by Susanne Bier. (116 mins.) Rated R. In English and in Danish & Italian with English subtitles.

LOVE IS ALL YOU NEED is a breezy, beguiling and beautiful romantic comedy set against the gorgeous backdrop of the Italian Riviera!

An utterly enchanting romantic comedy from Oscar winning filmmaker Susanne Bier (IN A BETTER WORLD, THINGS WE LOST IN THE FIRE), LOVE IS ALL YOU NEED delivers genuine laughs along with sincere joy and warmth. Philip (Pierce Brosnan), a sour, middle-aged widower living in Denmark, and Ida (Trine Dyrholm), a Danish hairdresser who has recently discovered her husband is having an affair, meet after an unfortunate accident as they are embarking on a trip to Italy to attend the wedding of his son and her daughter. With their own lives in turbulence, the unknown fate of these bruised, delicately drawn characters creates an unpredictable and touching tale of love, loss and redemption. Smart and savvy with a tinge of poignancy woven into heartfelt and hilarious moments, this energetic little gem is a joyful, courageous and optimistic tale about moving past heartache and into happiness.

BEFORE MIDNIGHT

United States. 2013. Directed by Richard Linklater. (108 mins.) Rated R.

BEFORE MIDNIGHT carries us on a nostalgic trip down memory lane and sweeps us into the here and now with its wit, warmth and wistfulness!

BEFORE MIDNIGHT is director Richard Linklater's lovely, insightful third chapter in one of the greatest love stories in independent cinema. Talking their way through an emotionally intimate storm of the ups and downs in their 18-year relationship, Celine (Julie Delpy) and Jesse (Ethan Hawke) breathtakingly capture the rhythm of real life as they reassess what they want next from themselves and each other. Carrying the weightier responsibilities that life brings, MIDNIGHT is the richer, riskier, more mature segment of this bold romantic tale. It is bitingly intelligent, sharply incisive and a captivatingly rewarding and nostalgic cinematic experience.

KON-TIKI

UK/Norway/Denmark. 2012. Directed by Joachim Ronning, Espen Sandberg. (118 mins.) Rated PG-13. In English & in Norwegian with English Subtitles.

OSCAR NOMINEE!
Best Foreign Language Film

KON-TIKI, based on the true story of Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl, is an epic, big screen man-against-nature tale boasting stunning, seamless visual effects!

A rousing old Hollywood-style adventure story, Oscar nominee KON-TIKI is a thrilling introduction to one of the most enviable exploits in Norwegian history. In 1947, Thor Heyerdahl and five crewmates remarkably set off to cross the Pacific Ocean in a balsa wood raft in order to prove his theory that South Americans could have crossed the sea to settle on Polynesian islands. Fierce sharks and extreme weather prove to be an astonishingly precarious challenge on their treacherous voyage. This absorbing, often lyrical tribute is an exhilarating epic tale brimming with colorful characters and quick-witted dialogue that will keep you enthralled from start to finish.

STORIES WE TELL

Canada. 2013. Directed by Sarah Polley. (108 mins.) Rated PG-13.

In the unforgettable and provocative STORIES WE TELL, writer/director Sarah Polley brilliantly turns the camera on her own relatives to unravel an age-old family mystery!

In this inspired, genre-twisting new film, Oscar-nominated writer/director Sarah Polley discovers that the truth depends on who's telling it. Polley is both filmmaker and detective as she investigates the secrets kept by a family of storytellers. She playfully interviews and interrogates a cast of characters of varying reliability, eliciting refreshingly candid, yet mostly contradictory, answers to the same questions. As each relates their version of the family mythology, present-day recollections shift into nostalgia-tinged glimpses of their mother, who departed too soon, leaving a trail of unanswered questions. Polley unravels the paradoxes to reveal the essence of family: always complicated, warmly messy and fiercely loving. STORIES WE TELL explores the elusive nature of truth and memory, but at its core is a deeply personal film about how our narratives shape and define us as individuals and families, all interconnecting to paint a profound, funny and poignant picture of the larger human story.
