Worth checking in for a look but you probably wont want to make a habit of it.
Drama
House of Sand and Fog
A compelling tragedy of contested houses, broken homes and demolished dreams.
Monster’s Ball
Its about neither monsters nor a ball but its worth a look if you fancy a bit of good old fashioned wretchedness.
Les Invasions barbares
An intelligent film of careful balances, where the past is weighed against the future, horror against hope, capitalism against socialism, faith against secularism, death against life. The viciousness of its satire, and the ambivalence of its final images, leave a bitter aftertaste which ensures that its message of cautious optimism, though sweet, never becomes too cloying.
The Birds
Youll never be able to look a chaffinch in the eyes again.
Pieces of April
Riffing off the Thanksgiving myth, 'Pieces of April' offsets sentimentality with some hard-hitting cynicism. Intelligent, painful, and ultimately very moving.
