| "I was born under unusual circumstances." And so begins The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, adapted from the 1920s story by F. Scott Fitzgerald about a man who is born in his eighties and ages backwards. A man, like any of us, unable to stop time. We follow his story set in New Orleans from the end of World War I in 1918, into the 21st century, following his journey that is as unusual as any man’s life can be. Directed by David Fincher (Zodiac, Fight Club, Seven), the dramatic fantasy is a time traveler’s tale of the people and places he bumps into along the way, the loves he loses and finds, the joys of life and the sadness of death, and what lasts beyond time. Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett star. Official Web Site |

Jackson). Yet as busy as his ongoing mission keeps him, the dashing crusader always manages to make time for beautiful women, though he never quite knows if they want to seduce, love or kill him.

Léa (Elsa Zylberstein) and Juliette (Kristin Scott Thomas) are sisters
who are almost complete strangers to one other. Juliette has just been released
from prison after serving a long sentence for an unspeakable crime, and life together isn't easy for the estranged sisters. The world has
moved on and Juliette often seems confused. Helped by some, such as the kindly
but tactless social worker and her open-hearted but depressed parole officer
(Frédéric Pierrot), Juliette is also rejected by others, particularly
employers who throw her out as soon as they find out what she did. But a huge
question hangs over Juliette's renaissance. Why did she do such a terrible
thing fifteen years ago? For all the others, it's a recurrent thought that
they dare not put into words. And for Juliette, locked away in her secret,
it's a burden to bear, which holds her back from engaging in her life and
believing that she too has the right to be happy. Official

When Kym (Anne Hathaway) returns to the Buchman family home for the wedding
of her sister Rachel (Rosemarie Dewitt), she brings a long history of personal
crisis, family conflict and tragedy along with her. The wedding couple’s
abundant party of friends and relations have gathered for a joyful weekend
of feasting, music and love, but Kym—with her biting one-liners and flair
for bombshell drama—is a catalyst for long-simmering tensions in the
family dynamic. Filled with the rich and eclectic characters that remain a
hallmark of Jonathan Demme’s films, this drama from first-time screenwriter
Jenny Lumet (daughter of famed director Sidney Lumet) paints a heartfelt,
perceptive and sometimes hilarious family portrait. Official

| Back in the late '80s, Randy "The Ram" Robinson (Mickey Rourke) was a headlining professional wrestler. Now, twenty years later, he ekes out a living performing for handfuls of diehard wrestling fans in high school gyms and community centers around New Jersey. Estranged from his daughter (Evan Rachel Wood) and unable to sustain any real relationships, Randy lives for the thrill of the show and the adoration of his fans. However, a heart attack forces him into retirement. As his sense of identity starts to slip away, he begins to evaluate the state of his life, trying to reconnect with his daughter, and striking up a blossoming romance with an aging stripper (Marisa Tomei). Yet all this cannot compare to the allure of the ring and passion for his art, which threatens to pull Randy back into his world of wrestling. Director Darren Aronofsky (The Fountain, Requiem for a Dream) presents a powerful portrait of a battered dreamer, who despite himself and the odds stacked against him, lives to be a hero once again in the only place he considers home—inside the ring.

| On the verge of losing his job, New Yorker Harvey Shine (Dustin Hoffman) travels to London to attend his daughter's (Liane Balaban) wedding but promises to be back on Monday morning to make an important meeting. Harvey arrives in London only to learn his daughter has chosen to have her stepfather (James Brolin) walk her down the aisle instead of him. Doing his best to hide his devastation, and drowning his sorrows at the airport bar, Harvey strikes up a conversation with Kate (Emma Thompson), a slightly prickly, 40-something employee of the Office of National Statistics. Kate, whose life is limited to work, the occasional humiliating blind date and endless phone calls from her smothering mother (Eileen Atkins), is touched by Harvey, who finds himself energized by her intelligence and compassion. The growing connection between the pair inspires both as they unexpectedly transform one another's lives. Written and directed by Joel Hopkins (Jump Tomorrow). Official Web Site |
