Tommy's Honour - 7PM

Tommy’s Honour
Thursday, October 5, 2017 – 7:00 pm
Uptown Theatre, 55 Dunlop St. W., Barrie
Director: Jason Connery
Cast: Jack Lowden, Peter Mullen, Ophelia Lovibond, Sam Neill
Drama, PG – mature theme, language may offend, 112 minutes
(United Kingdom/USA)

“With its rugged landscapes, handsome production design and, especially, the very appealing work of leads Peter Mullen and Jack Lowden, Tommy’s Honour is an ingratiating production all-round.” – Godfrey Cheshire, RogerEbert.com

TOMMY’S HONOUR is based on the powerfully moving true story of the challenging relationship between “Old” Tom and “Young” Tommy Morris, the dynamic father-son team who ushered in the modern game of golf. As their fame grew, Tom and Tommy, Scotland’s Golf Royalty, were touched by drama and personal tragedy. At first matching his father’s success, Tommy’s talent and fame grew to outshine his father’s accomplishments and respect as founder of the Open Championship in 1860 with a series of his own triumphs. But in contrast to Tommy’s public persona, his personal turmoil ultimately led him to rebel against both the aristocracy who gave him opportunity and the parents who shunned his passionate relationship with his wife.

Awards:

Written and Directed by: Rama Burshtein
Cast: Noa Koler, Oz Zehani, Jonathan Rozen and Udi Persi
Comedy/Drama, PG for mature thematics, 110 minutes, Hebrew with English Subtitles

“An engaging (and surprisingly entertaining) examination, not of belief, but of a believer, a struggling soul who more often than not blocks her own path to paradise.”
– Matthew Lickona, San Diego Reader

“Transcends [a] gimmicky premise to find a genuinely poignant sweet spot…Key to the film’s charm and sincerity is Noa Kooler …Refreshingly, the women are not stereotypes.”
– Nora Lee Mandel, Film-Forward. com

At 32, Michal is finally looking forward to the comfort and security of marriage, when she is blindsided by her fiancé’s decision to call off the wedding with only a month’s notice. Unwilling to return to lonely single life, Michal decides to put her trust in fate and continue with her wedding plans, believing Mr. Right will appear by her chosen date. Confident she will find a match made in heaven, she books a venue, sends out invitations and buys a wedding dress, as her skeptical mother and sister look on with trepidation. During Michal’s month-long search for a spouse, she enlists the help of two different matchmakers, goes on a series of disastrous blind dates and finds an unexpected connection with a charming but utterly unsuitable pop star — all while dismissing pleas by concerned friends and family members that she reconsider her risky plan. As the day of the ceremony grows closer and no suitor appears, Michal puts everything on the line to find happiness.

The Lovers - 7PM

The Lovers

Screening: Thursday, September 7, 2017 – 7pm
Location: Uptown Theatre, 55 Dunlop St. W., Barrie

Written and Directed by: Azazel Jacobs
Principle Cast: Debra Winger, Tracy Letts, Melora Walters and Aidan Gillen
Comedy/Drama, 14 A for sexuality and language, 94 minutes (USA)

“Jacobs has delivered a two-handed character study and, in this mission, he is handily assisted by his two powerful leads.” – Ryan Porter, Toronto Star

“The Lovers keeps folding, changing and evolving, but stays to its central theme, exploring two uncomfortably real characters who can’t get out of the way of each other or themselves.”
– Adam Graham, Detroit News

The Lovers is a refreshing, funny look at love, fidelity, and family, starring Debra Winger and Tracy Letts as a long-married and completely dispassionate husband and wife. Both are in the midst of serious affairs and are increasingly committed to their new partners. But on the brink of officially calling it quits, a spark between them suddenly and unexpectedly reignites, leading them into an impulsive romance that forces them to navigate the hilarious complications of “cheating” on their respective lovers. A mixture of humor and powerful emotion, the story is a uniquely honest take on modern marriage.

Alone in Berlin - 7PM
2017-08-17 19:00 | Annual Barrie Film Festival
Alone in Berlin

Screening: Thursday, August 17, 2017 – 7:00 pm
Uptown Theatre, 55 Dunlop St. W., Barrie
Co-written and Directed by: Vincent Perez
Cast: Brendan Gleeson, Emma Thompson and Daniel Brühl
Drama, 14A for mature themes, violence, not recommended for children, 103 minutes, Language: English (UK/Germany/France)

“Gleeson shines here as a man of few words who channels his anger into action.”
– Jim Schembri, 3AW

“It’s that juxtaposition – of the hellish against the ordinary – which gives the film its punch.”
– Sandra Hall, Sydney Morning Herald

“When Alone in Berlin reaches the end of its journey, it’s the performances of Gleeson and Thompson that ensure we’ll never forget the bravery of Otto and Anna.” — Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times

Adapted from Hans Fallada’s 1947 novel Every Man Dies Alone and nominated for a Golden Bear, Alone in Berlin follows a couple as they mount a small yet surprisingly effective resistance against the Nazi dictatorship in wartime Berlin. After losing their son on the front line during the Battle of France in 1940, working-class couple Otto (Brendan Gleeson) and Anna (Emma Thompson) find themselves disillusioned with the Nazi regime and frustrated with the war effort. Feeling angry and betrayed by the Führer’s empty promises and the substantial toll of the war, the couple decides to avenge their lost son by spreading doubt and discontent across the German capital. Their postcards, distributed in high-traffic public places across the city, transmit anti-Hitler slogans to their fellow citizens. Their small acts of defiance rattle loudly enough that young police inspector Escherich (Daniel Brühl) mounts a citywide hunt for the postcard-propaganda perpetrators. Gleeson and Thompson have a genuinely moving chemistry with each other, honouring the bravery of the real-life couple on which the story is based. Alone in Berlin offers a peek into the life of Berliners under Nazi rule and serves as a testament to the importance of resistance, big or small, against a totalitarian regime.

Frantz - 7PM
2017-08-03 19:00 | Annual Barrie Film Festival
Frantz

Screening: August 3, 2017 – 7pm
Location: Uptown Theatre, 55 Dunlop St. W., Barrie
Directed by: François Ozon
Principle Cast: Paula Beer, Pierre Niney, Marie Gruber, Ernst Stotzner, Johann Von Bulow, Anton Von Lucke
Drama, PG for mature thematic elements including brief war violence, 114 minutes, filmed in glorious black & white, Language: French, German with English subtitles (France/Germany)

“A fine bilingual cast, haunting period detail and a provocative approach to a twisting story carry the day.”
– Kate Taylor, Globe and Mail
“A richly imagined and superbly assembled period piece. ”
– Boyd Van Hoeij, The Hollywood Reporter
“It’s a rare beauty, this odd-duck of a period piece from the great French director François Ozon”
– Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

In the aftermath of World War I, a young German woman mourning the death of her fiancé forms a bond with a mysterious Frenchman visiting her beloved’s grave. Telling a familiar tale of love, remembrance, grief, and mourning in new and surprising ways, Frantz is a brilliant addition to the filmography of François Ozon. The war has just ended and Anna (Paula Beer) is still living with Frantz’s parents, who are shattered over their son’s death. Meanwhile, the citizens of Anna’s small German town are just beginning to emerge from the shadow of the war. Spying a stranger laying a bouquet of roses on Frantz’s grave one day, the quietly grieving Anna is both surprised and intrigued. Hesitantly, the visitor reveals he is a French soldier, but with the horrors of the war still so raw in everyone’s minds, the small community makes it clear he’s not welcome among them. Adrien (Pierre Niney) soon reveals he knew Frantz prior to the war, as the two became fast friends over their shared love of art and music. Anna and Frantz’s parents eventually warm to the sensitive Frenchman, grateful for the chance to relive a connection to Frantz. But despite Adrien’s initial charms, his past slowly reveals itself to be more mysterious and murky than it seems.

But despite Adrien’s initial charms, his past slowly reveals itself to be more mysterious and murky than it seems.

Frantz - 7PM
2017-08-02 19:00 | Annual Barrie Film Festival
Frantz

Screening: August 2, 2017 – 7pm
Location: Uptown Theatre, 55 Dunlop St. W., Barrie
Directed by: François Ozon
Principle Cast: Paula Beer, Pierre Niney, Marie Gruber, Ernst Stotzner, Johann Von Bulow, Anton Von Lucke
Drama, PG for mature thematic elements including brief war violence, 114 minutes, filmed in glorious black & white, Language: French, German with English subtitles (France/Germany)

“A fine bilingual cast, haunting period detail and a provocative approach to a twisting story carry the day.”
– Kate Taylor, Globe and Mail
“A richly imagined and superbly assembled period piece. ”
– Boyd Van Hoeij, The Hollywood Reporter
“It’s a rare beauty, this odd-duck of a period piece from the great French director François Ozon”
– Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

In the aftermath of World War I, a young German woman mourning the death of her fiancé forms a bond with a mysterious Frenchman visiting her beloved’s grave. Telling a familiar tale of love, remembrance, grief, and mourning in new and surprising ways, Frantz is a brilliant addition to the filmography of François Ozon. The war has just ended and Anna (Paula Beer) is still living with Frantz’s parents, who are shattered over their son’s death. Meanwhile, the citizens of Anna’s small German town are just beginning to emerge from the shadow of the war. Spying a stranger laying a bouquet of roses on Frantz’s grave one day, the quietly grieving Anna is both surprised and intrigued. Hesitantly, the visitor reveals he is a French soldier, but with the horrors of the war still so raw in everyone’s minds, the small community makes it clear he’s not welcome among them. Adrien (Pierre Niney) soon reveals he knew Frantz prior to the war, as the two became fast friends over their shared love of art and music. Anna and Frantz’s parents eventually warm to the sensitive Frenchman, grateful for the chance to relive a connection to Frantz. But despite Adrien’s initial charms, his past slowly reveals itself to be more mysterious and murky than it seems.

The Commune - 8PM
2017-07-20 20:00 | Annual Barrie Film Festival
Screening: Thursday, July 20, 2017 – 8:00 pm
Uptown Theatre, 55 Dunlop St. W., Barrie
Directed by: Thomas Vinterberg
Cast: Trine Dyrholm, Ulrich Thomsen and Helene Reingaard Neumann
Drama, 18A for mature thematics, sexuality and some nudity, 112 minutes,
Danish with English Subtitles (Denmark/Sweden/Netherlands)

The new film by lauded Danish director Thomas Vinterberg (“The Celebration,” Oscar® nominated “The Hunt”) examines the fallout from the social upheavals of the 1970s through the microcosm of a Copenhagen commune. Anna (Trine Dyrholm, who won Best Actress at the 2016 Berlinale for her performance) is a television newswoman; her husband, Erik (Ulrich Thomsen), teaches architecture at a university, but the grim reality of mentoring people whose career prospects are brighter than his own has left him disgruntled and bored. When Erik’s father passes away, the couple must decide what to do with the huge house that Erik grew up in, as it’s too expensive for them to occupy on their own. Erik prefers selling, but Anna — who has become frustrated with Erik’s dour outlook and longs for something new — suggests that they use this opportunity to experiment with communal living (which was all the rage in Scandinavia at the time). Energized by the era’s relaxed taboos, Anna and Erik assemble a diverse, rather motley crew of cohabitants and embark on their adventure, but soon take very different paths. Driven by brilliant lead performances from Vinterberg’s “Celebration” stars Thomsen and Dyrholm and supporting turns from Lars Ranthe and Fares Fares, THE COMMUNE is a sharply observed study of how new values can quickly come into conflict with old habits and affiliations.

Awards:
Won, Best Actress (Dyrholm), Berlin International Film Festival 2016
Won, Best Actress (Dyrholm), Bodil Awards 2017
Nominated, Best Feature, Chicago International Film Festival 2016

Their Finest - 7PM
2017-07-06 19:00 | Annual Barrie Film Festival
Screening: July 6, 2017 – 7pm
Location: Uptown Theatre, 55 Dunlop St. W., Barrie
Directed by: Lone Scherfig
Principle Cast: Bill Nighy, Gemma Arterton, Sam Claflin, Eddie Marsan and Richard E. Grant
Comedy/Drama, 14A for coarse language and sexual content, 117 minutes (United Kingdom)

“Their Finest is the sort of crowd-pleaser that knows the difference between satisfying its viewers and flattering them, all the while showcasing surprising performances from Gemma Arterton and Sam Claflin, and an entirely unsurprising one from Bill Nighy — a master scene-stealer pulling off yet another brazen heist.” – Andrew Barker, Variety

“Sherfig perfectly balances the comedic romance & period drama elements to make Their Finest a pleasantly entertaining watch.” – Matthew Pejkovic, Matt’s Movie Reviews

A true favourite in the industry, Lone Scherfig directs a sterling British cast in this period comedy-drama based on the novel, Their Finest Hour and a Half, by Lissa Evans about a group of filmmakers struggling to make an inspirational film to boost morale during the Blitz of London in World War II. Young screenwriter Catrin Cole (Gemma Arterton) is charged with bringing a female perspective to war films produced by the British Ministry of Information’s Film Division. Her current project is inspired by stories of British civilians rescuing soldiers after the retreat at Dunkirk. While on location in Devon, Catrin begins to come into her own and earn the respect of her peers, including the haughty veteran actor Ambrose Hilliard (Bill Nighy). Their Finest pops with witty banter, flows with exquisite period detail and functions as a positive affirmation of women in film thanks to a fine performance from Gemma Arterton and superb direction from Lone Scherfig.
