Karten\, Big Apple Reviews \n  \nWinner of the Grand Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival\, Nadine Labaki’s Capernaum (“Chaos”) tells the story of Zain (Zain al Rafeea)\, a Lebanese boy who sues his parents for the “crime” of giving him life. The film follows the gutsy streetwise child as he flees his negligent parents\, survives through his wits on the streets\, takes care of Ethiopian refugee Rahil (Yordanos Shiferaw) and her baby son\, Yonas (Boluwatife Treasure Bankole)\, being jailed for a crime\, and finally\, seeks justice in a courtroom. This film was made with a cast of non-professionals playing characters whose lives closely parallel their own. Following her script\, Labaki placed her performers in scenes and asked them to react spontaneously with their own words and gestures. When the non-actors’ instincts diverged from the written script\, Labaki adapted the screenplay to follow them. While steeped in the quiet routines of ordinary people\, with an expansive palette: without warning it can ignite with emotional intensity\, surprise with unexpected tenderness\, and inspire with flashes of poetic imagery. Although it is set in the depths of a society’s systematic inhumanity\, Capernaum is ultimately a hopeful film that stirs the heart as deeply as it cries out for action. \n  \n  \nAWARDS: 21 Wins\, 23 Nominations\n \nNominated\, Best Foreign Language Film of the Year\, Academy Awards\, USA\, 2019\nNominated\, Best Motion Picture – Foreign Language\, Golden Globes\, USA\, 2019\nWinner\, Jury Prize\, Prix de la citoyenneté\, and Prize of the Ecumenical Jury\, Cannes Film Festival\, 2018\nNominated – Palme d’Or\, Cannes Film Festival\, 2018\nNominated\, Best Feature\, Adelaide Film Festival\, 2018\nWinner\, Achievement in Directing\, Asia Pacific Screen Awards\, 2018\nNominated\, Best International Independent Film\, British Independent Film Awards\, 2018\nWinner\, Audience Award – US/International Narrative Feature\, Calgary International Film Festival\, 2018 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yhy01xVcls” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n  \n \n  \n[/col_one]

She returns to the land to restore herself but her past success makes her a commodity to some\, and it can be tricky to hide from the demands of the outside world. \n  \nHer sister Betty (Tina Keeper) senses there may be more to Mary’s need for isolation and urges her to reconnect with family and old friends. As Mary gets out more and even starts dating\, it seems as though new possibilities are on the horizon. However\, the past has a way of catching up\, and when Mary starts to hear disturbing noises around her cabin\, she becomes paranoid that someone may be after her. \n  \nMary knows how to survive\, but she also deserves to thrive. And that means gathering the ability to be open to the healing that comes from love\, self-expression\, family\, community\, and\, especially\, the land. (TIFF/DANIS GOULET) \n  \n\n \n[/col_one]

She feels stuck in her small-town\, industrial Québécois life. The easiest target for her frustrations is her stepdad\, a local talk-radio celebrity on the wrong side of a political divide that forced her union-organizing father out of town. Léo misses her father and yearns to leave\, but her rebellion du jour only seems to manifest itself as a feeling of uneasiness. Enter Steve (Pierre-Luc Brillant\, C.R.A.Z.Y)\, a much older metal-head who still lives in his mother’s basement. Léo is fascinated and sees in him much more than the archetypal loser he may appear to be. As their relationship grows over the summer\, an ever-present longing lingers beneath the surface of their friendship — and Léo must decide how to express her deep desire for something more. However\, the tenacious vigour of Léo’s teenage angst\, brought to life by the magnetic Tremblay\, sets this film apart from the director’s earlier work. Winner of the Canada Goose Award for Best Canadian Feature Film at TIFF 2018\, this film revels in exquisite close-ups and dreamy musical flourishes that harkens back to classic melodramas; Pilote creates an evocative pop fantasy amidst the customary political tensions in a small Quebec town. \n  \n  \nAWARDS:\n \nWinner\, Best Canadian Feature Film\, Toronto International Film Festival\, 2018\nNominee\, Best Film\, Karlovy Vary International Film Festival\, 2018\nNominee\, Best Feature Film\, Torino Film Festival\, 2018\nWinner\, Best Cinematography\, Whistler Film Festival\, 2018 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeY_FHcWhMo” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n  \n \n  \n[/col_one]

DESCRIPTION:[col_one_third ] \n[col_one_third ] \n \n[/col_one_third] \n[col_two_thirds ] \nThe Fireflies Are Gone (La disparition des lucioles)\n\nScreening:\nWednesday\, January 9 – 4pm\, 7pm\nThursday\, January 10 – 4pm\, 7pm\nLocation: Uptown Theatre\, 55 Dunlop St. W.\, Barrie \n  \nWritten and Directed by: Sébastien Pilote\nCast: Karelle Tremblay\, Pierre-Luc Brillant\, Luc Picard\, François Papineau\nDrama\, Not Rated\, 96 minutes\, Language: English and French with English subtitles (Canada) \n  \n[btnsx id=”5282″] \n[/col_two_thirds] \n[col_one ] \n“This is a satisfying\, slightly mournful seriocomedy that’s equal parts cynical\, hopeful\, and ambivalent.” – Dennis Harvey\, VARIETY \n  \n“It’s not a novel premise\, but Pilote delivers the requisite insights and atmosphere in an engaging way\, and his two leads are simply terrific.” – Norman Wilner\, NOW Toronto \n  \n  \nIt is near the end of high school\, and Léo (Tremblay) dreams of escape. She feels stuck in her small-town\, industrial Québécois life. The easiest target for her frustrations is her stepdad\, a local talk-radio celebrity on the wrong side of a political divide that forced her union-organizing father out of town. Léo misses her father and yearns to leave\, but her rebellion du jour only seems to manifest itself as a feeling of uneasiness. Enter Steve (Pierre-Luc Brillant\, C.R.A.Z.Y)\, a much older metal-head who still lives in his mother’s basement. Léo is fascinated and sees in him much more than the archetypal loser he may appear to be. As their relationship grows over the summer\, an ever-present longing lingers beneath the surface of their friendship — and Léo must decide how to express her deep desire for something more. However\, the tenacious vigour of Léo’s teenage angst\, brought to life by the magnetic Tremblay\, sets this film apart from the director’s earlier work. Winner of the Canada Goose Award for Best Canadian Feature Film at TIFF 2018\, this film revels in exquisite close-ups and dreamy musical flourishes that harkens back to classic melodramas; Pilote creates an evocative pop fantasy amidst the customary political tensions in a small Quebec town. \n  \n  \nAWARDS:\n \nWinner\, Best Canadian Feature Film\, Toronto International Film Festival\, 2018\nNominee\, Best Film\, Karlovy Vary International Film Festival\, 2018\nNominee\, Best Feature Film\, Torino Film Festival\, 2018\nWinner\, Best Cinematography\, Whistler Film Festival\, 2018 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeY_FHcWhMo” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n  \n \n  \n[/col_one]

SUMMARY:The Guilty
DESCRIPTION:[col_one ] \n \nThe Guilty (Den skyldige)\n\nScreening:\nWednesday\, November 7\, 2018 – 4pm\, 7pm\nThursday\, November 8\, 2018 – 4pm\, 7pm\nLocation: Uptown Theatre\, 55 Dunlop St. W.\, Barrie \n  \nCo-written and Directed by: Gustav Möller\nCast: Jakob Cedergren\, Jessica Dinnage\, Omar Shargawi\, Johan Olsen\, Jacob Hauberg Lohmann\nCrime/Drama/Thriller\, PG\, 85 minutes\, Language: Danish with English subtitles (Denmark) \n  \n[btnsx id=”5194″] \n  \n“If the setting of “The Guilty” couldn’t be simpler\, its immaculate execution by first-time director Gustav Möller couldn’t be more gripping and involving.” – Kenneth Turan\, Los Angeles Times \n  \n“Piecing together what is really going on is almost as satisfying as figuring out the clues of a first-rate detective story.“ – Peter Rainer\, Christian Science Monitor \n  \nWhen police officer Asger Holm (Jakob Cedergren) is demoted to deskwork\, he expects a sleepy beat as an emergency dispatcher. That all changes when he answers a panicked phone call from a kidnapped woman who then disconnects abruptly. Asger\, confined to the police station\, is forced to use others as his eyes and ears as the severity of the crime slowly becomes clearer. The search to find the missing woman and her assailant will take every bit of his intuition and skill\, as a ticking clock and his own personal demons conspire against him. This innovative and unrelenting Danish thriller uses a single location to great effect\, ratcheting up the tension as twists pile up and secrets are revealed. Director Gustav Möller expertly frames the increasingly messy proceedings against the clean Scandinavian sterility of the police department\, while Cedergren’s strong performance anchors the film and places the audience squarely in Holm’s tragically flawed yet well-intentioned mind space. \n  \n10 AWARD WINS\, 13 NOMINATIONS \nWinner – World Cinema – Dramatic/Audience Award\, Sundance Film Festival\, 2018\nNominated – Best Film – Austin Fantastic Fest\, 2018\nWinner – Best Film/International Competition – Baltic Debuts Film Festival\, 2018\nNominee – People’s Choice Award for Best Narrative Feature\, Melbourne International Film Festival\, 2018\nWinner – Audience Award/World Cinema\, Montclair Film Festival (MFF)\, 2018\nNominee – Best Film\, Montréal Festival of New Cinema\, 2018\nWinner – Audience Award\, Rotterdam International Film Festival\, 2018\nWinner – Best Director\, Seattle International Film Festival\, 2018\nWinner – Best Feature Film\, Cinefest Sudbury\, 2018 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hfcJpRwfhY” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n  \n \n  \n[/col_one]

Everett gives a career defining performance as Wilde\, physically and emotionally embodying the literary genius as he lives out his last days in exile in Europe. His body ailing and heavy\, his mind spinning\, he survives by falling back on the flamboyant irony and brilliant wit that defined him. As the film travels through Wilde’s final act and journeys through England\, France and Italy\, desire and loyalty face off\, the transience of lust is laid bare\, and the true riches of love are revealed. \n  \n1 WIN\, 2 NOMINATIONS:\nWon – Best Production\, Bavarian Film Awards\, 2018\nNominated – Best Feature Film\, Berlin International Film Festival\, 2018\nNominated – Best Costume Design\, German Film Awards\, 2018 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sPkicgSc6M” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n[/col_one]

Living amongst us is a special breed of people\, undefined by age\, gender\, profession or background: for them\, the draw of the mountains is all-consuming. After months of preparation\, Martina and her 60 year-old mother Tania embark on a 6 month\, 2300 km journey which takes them from Squamish\, BC to Alaska\, through a relentless alpine wilderness. There are others who share a passion for the mountain life: a group of nuns inhabiting a cloistered retreat to be closer to God; a risk-taking photographer; an impassioned climber; a focused snow artist; a couple who has been living off grid for nearly 50 years: what is it that leads these adventurous people to sacrifice everything – comfort\, family\, personal safety – for such an existence? Shot in cinematic detail\, This Mountain Life attempts to answer the question and offers a riveting portrait of idealistic passion set high in the stunningly beautiful peaks of British Columbia. \n  \n \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qiw-c4K05F0″ video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n[/col_one]

With one look she can tell you everything while revealing nothing.” – Erik Anderson\, AwardsWatch \n  \nAfter nearly forty years of marriage\, Joan and Joe Castleman (Glenn Close and Jonathan Pryce) are complements. Where Joe is casual\, Joan is elegant. Where Joe is vain\, Joan is self-effacing. And where Joe enjoys his very public role as Great American Novelist\, Joan pours her considerable intellect\, grace\, charm\, and diplomacy into the private role of Great Man’s Wife. Joe is about to be awarded the Nobel Prize for his acclaimed and prolific body of work. Joe’s literary star has blazed since he and Joan first met in the late 1950s. The Wife (based on the novel of the same name by Meg Wolitzer) interweaves the story of the couple’s youthful passion and ambition with a portrait of a marriage\, thirty-plus years later – a lifetime’s shared compromises\, secrets\, betrayals\, and mutual love. \n  \nNOMINATED – Film and Literature Award\, Film by the Sea International Film Festival\, 2018 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzCeD7T_Uq0″ video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n[/col_one]

Funny\, tender and endearing.” – Rafer Guzman\, NEWSDAY \n  \nIn his feature film directorial debut\, comedian Bo Burnham deftly encapsulates the awkwardness\, angst\, self-loathing and reinvention that a teenage girl goes through on the cusp of high school. Given that the 27-year-old stand-up comic achieved fame as a teenager himself through YouTube by riffing on his insecurities\, he is uniquely capable as the film’s writer and director to tell the story of Kayla\, an anxious girl navigating the final days of her eighth grade year. Like Burnham did more than a decade ago\, 13-year-old Kayla turns to YouTube to express herself\, where she makes advice blogs in which she pretends to have it all together. In reality\, Kayla is sullen and silent around her single father and her peers at school\, carrying out most of her interactions with her classmates on Instagram and Twitter. Her videos are a clever narrative tool that provide insight into her inner hopes and dreams\, much like an inspirational online diary. One of Eighth Grade’s biggest triumphs is in its realism. \n  \n6 WINS\, 3 NOMINATIONS:\nWon – Audience Award\, Chicago Critics Film Festival\, 2018\nWon – Truly Moving Picture Award\, Heartland Film\, 2018\nWon – Audience Award – Best Narrative Feature\, San Francisco International Film Festival\, 2018\nWon – Best Film & Best Actress (Elsie Fisher)\, Seattle International Film Festival\, 2018\nWon – Audience Favourite\, Sundance Film Festival: London\, 2018\nNominated – Grand Jury Prize – Narrative Feature Competition\, Dallas International Film Festival\, 2018\nNominated – Grand Jury Prize – Dramatic\, Sundance Film Festival\, 2018 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cjp0UMSh9VM” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n[/col_one]

Crowe quit the business at the height of his fame and now\, pushing 50\, is living in his ex-girlfriend’s garage in New York and trying to make up for past parental failures by dedicating his life to raising his young son. But when Duncan receives the long-lost demo version of Crowe’s revered album\, it sets off a chain reaction that will change all of their lives. Duncan hails the album as a masterpiece on his Crowe-themed website\, while Annie\, frustrated by his obsession with the washed-up musician\, posts her own scathing review. She is startled when Crowe unexpectedly reaches out to her. As their friendship blossoms\, Crowe comes to London for a visit and the stage is set for an epically messy love triangle that inspires Annie to take the chance of a lifetime. Juliet\, Naked is based on the novel by Nick Hornby. \n  \nNOMINATED – Best Narrative Feature\, Nantucket Film Festival\, 2018 \n  \n \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwWKaYsNqBM” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n[/col_one]

SUMMARY:The Happy Prince
DESCRIPTION:[col_one ] \n \nThe Happy Prince\nWritten and Directed by: Rupert Everett\nCast: Rupert Everett\, Colin Firth\, Colin Morgan\, Edwin Thomas\, Emily Watson\nDrama/History\, 14A for sexual content\, nudity\, coarse language\, violence\, drug use | 104 min. | English/Italian/French with English subtitles | United Kingdom/Italy/Belgium/Germany \n  \nSCREENING:\nSaturday\, October 20 – 7:30 pm\nSunday\, October 21 – 6:00 pm \nGet your tickets here! \n  \n“The Happy Prince proves that a film can be both bleak and warm-spirited\, as befits its mighty subject.” – David Edelstein\, NEW YORK MAGAZINE/VULTURE \n“As a director\, Everett is sometimes heavy-handed\, but the performances\, and the undeniable injustice of Wilde’s ordeal\, make for a tragedy worthy of its drama-loving subject.” – Helen O’Hara\, TIME OUT \n  \nThe last days of Oscar Wilde – and the ghosts that haunted them – are vividly evoked in Rupert Everett’s directorial debut. Everett gives a career defining performance as Wilde\, physically and emotionally embodying the literary genius as he lives out his last days in exile in Europe. His body ailing and heavy\, his mind spinning\, he survives by falling back on the flamboyant irony and brilliant wit that defined him. As the film travels through Wilde’s final act and journeys through England\, France and Italy\, desire and loyalty face off\, the transience of lust is laid bare\, and the true riches of love are revealed. \n  \n1 WIN\, 2 NOMINATIONS:\nWon – Best Production\, Bavarian Film Awards\, 2018\nNominated – Best Feature Film\, Berlin International Film Festival\, 2018\nNominated – Best Costume Design\, German Film Awards\, 2018 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sPkicgSc6M” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n[/col_one]
