PARIS

STARRING: Juliette Binoche, Romain Duris DIRECTOR: Cedric Klapisch French with English sub titles A condusive citiscape that goes beyond the beauty of the Parisian scenery, of which there is plenty, and to the heart of the many and varied people who inhabit her. This film takes us "intra-Paris" to discover a new personality both fascinating and heartening. Centered around a man awaiting a heart transplant who sees a little from his apartment balcony and we see much more about the lives of all of those whom he passes in the street or live in the building across the way. Paris is absorbing, interesting, shocking, sad and a little funny courtesy of a small cameo of the boulange owner, but, ultimately, it is a film that embraces the city and it's people to reveal it's true soul.

THE COUNTERFEITERS

The true story of Salomon Sorowitsch, counterfeiter extraordinaire and bohemian. After getting arrested in a German concentration camp in 1944, he agrees to help the Nazis in an organised counterfeit operation set up to help finance the war effort. It was the biggest counterfeit money scam of all time. Over 130 million pound sterling were printed, under conditions that couldn't have been more tragic or spectacular. During the last years of the war, as the German Reich saw that the end was near, the authorities decided to produce their own banknotes in the currencies of their major war enemies. They hoped to use the duds to flood the enemy economy and fill the empty war coffers. At the Sachsenhausen concentration camp, two barracks were separated from the rest of the camp and the outside world, and transformed into a fully equipped counterfeiter's workshop. 'Operation Bernhard' was born. Prisoners were brought to Sachsenhausen from other camps to implement the plan: professional printers, fastidious bank officials and simple craftsmen all became members of the top-secret counterfeiter commando. They had the choice: if they cooperated with the enemy, they had a chance to survive, as first-class prisoners in a 'golden cage' with enough to eat and a bed to sleep in. If they sabotaged the operation, a sure death awaited them. For THE COUNTERFEITERS, it was not only a question of saving their own lives, but also about saving their conscience as well...

THEN SHE FOUND ME

Adapted from Elinor Lipman's novel of the same name, "Then She Found Me" is Helen Hunt's directorial debut and a hit of the 2007 Toronto Film Festival, with Hunt starring alongside Colin Firth, Bette Midler and Matthew Broderick in a very funny and deeply moving story about the way we create families both by blood and by choice. April Epner (Hunt) is thirty-nine years old. Her biological clock is not so much ticking as sounding an alarm; her charming but immature husband, Ben (Matthew Broderick), decides their recent marriage is a mistake; and her ailing adoptive mother, whom April has been nursing through her illness, dies. As if this weren?t enough to deal with, a brassy, overbearing local talk-show host named Bernice Graves (Bette Midler) shows up out of the blue, announcing herself as April's biological mother. And she has incredible news: April is the result of a one-night stand Bernice had with Steve McQueen nearly forty years ago. Devastated on the one hand and bewildered on the other, April finds solace from her rapidly unravelling life in a growing relationship with Frank (Colin Firth), a handsome, warm and suddenly single dad whose wife recently abandoned him and their children. As this new relationship blossoms, April's general state of confusion gets considerably worse when she finds out that she is pregnant. Hunt is wonderful as the gentle, determined April, who battles through emotional minefields in order to find herself at peace with the world. As the boisterous Ben, Broderick is all boyish charm, while Firth captures Frank's stiff upper lip magnificently. And Midler displays characteristic bombast as Bernice, a force of nature who gusts into April's life and throws it into disarray. Her larger-than-life presence forces April to question her neat, self-made identity, bringing up spectres of the past she had long learned to live without. With "Then She Found Me", Hunt combines her glowing screen presence with impressive directorial finesse, marking a new high in an already accomplished career.

MONGOL

Award-winning Russian filmmaker Sergei Bodrov ("Prisoner of the Mountains") illuminates the life and legend of Genghis Khan in his stunning historical epic, "Mongol". Based on leading historical accounts and a nominee for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 2008 Academy Awards, "Mongol" delves into the dramatic and harrowing early years of the ruler who was born as Temudgin in 1162. As it follows Temudgin from his perilous childhood to the battle that sealed his destiny, the film paints a multidimensional portrait of the future conqueror, revealing him not as the evil brute of legend, but as an inspiring, fearless and visionary leader. "Mongol" shows us the making of an extraordinary man, and the foundation on which so much of his greatness rested: his relationship with his wife, Borte, his lifelong love and most trusted advisor. Filmed in the very lands that gave birth to Genghis Khan, "Mongol" transports us back to a distant and exotic period in world history; to a nomad's landscape of endless space, climatic extremes and ever-present danger. In a performance of powerful stillness and subtlety, celebrated young Japanese actor Asano Tadanobu ("Zatoichi", "Last Life in the Universe") captures the inner fire that enabled a hunted boy to become a legendary conqueror. Asano's achievement is matched by those of his co-stars, including the radiant newcomer Khulan Chuluun as Temudgin's courageous, spirited wife Borte, and the Chinese actor Honglei Sun ("The Road Home") as the "Mongol" chieftain Jamukha, Temudgin's dearest friend and deadliest enemy.

Meanwhile, the remainder of the bandmembers room with local resident Itzik's (Rubi Moscovich) family, which produces overwhelming conflict and innumerable tensions. As the days roll on, the co-mingling of Egyptian bandmembers and Israeli residents imparts each individual with insights into his cultural identity and that of the others. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide Please CLICK here to view the TRAILER
