A TOUCH OF SIN


Directed by Jia Zhangke
125 min / China / 2013
Not Rated – Warning: Violence 
Mandarin w/ English subtitles

Inspired by four shocking (and true) events that forced the world’s fastest growing economy into a period of self-examination, A Touch Of Sin is the latest from master filmmaker Jia Zhangke, “one of the best and most important directors in the world” (Richard Brody, The New Yorker). This daring, poetic and grand-scale film focuses on four characters, each living in different provinces, who are driven to violent ends.

CUTIE AND THE BOXER


Directed by Zachary Heinzerling
82 min/ USA / 2013
Rated R

** Recently nominated for the 2014 Academy Award for Best Feature Documentary

A reflection on love, sacrifice, and the creative spirit, this candid documentary explores the chaotic 40-year marriage of renowned “boxing” painter Ushio Shinohara and his artist wife Noriko. Now 80, Ushio still struggles to establish his artistic legacy, while Noriko is at last being recognized for her own art— a series of drawings entitled “Cutie.” Spanning four decades, the film is a moving portrait of a couple wrestling with the eternal themes of sacrifice, disappointment and aging.

FANTASTIC MR FOX


Directed by Wes Anderson
87 min. / 2009 / USA
Rated PG

When Mr. Fox’s nightly raids on three nearby farms raise the ire of the selfish farmers, he must outwit the men’s increasingly outrageous plans to catch him in this animated adaptation of the Roald Dahl book. As the farmers’ schemes take a toll on his hungry family, Mr. Fox must find a new way to get his paws on the bounty. George Clooney and Bill Murray lend their voice-over talents in this Oscar nominee.

/// Couleur de Peau: Miel
Directed by Laurent Boileau + Jung Henin
75 min / France / 2012/ Not Rated
French w/ English subtitle
This remarkable animated doc traces the unconventional upbringing of the filmmaker Jung Henin, one of thousands of Korean children adopted by Western families after the end of the Korean War. It is the story of a boy stranded between two cultures. Sepia-toned animated vignettes – some humorous and some poetic – track Jung from the day he first meets his new blond siblings, through elementary school, and into his teenage years, when his emerging sense of identity begins to create fissures at home and ignite the latent biases of his adoptive parents. The filmmaker tells his story using his own animation intercut with snippets of super-8 family footage and archival film. The result is an animated memoir like no other: clear-eyed and unflinching, humorous and wry, and above all, inspiring in the capacity of the human heart.

BLOOD BROTHER


Directed by Steve Hoover
92 min / USA /2013

Rocky Braat, a young man with a troubled past, went traveling through India without a plan. There he met a group of HIV positive children living in an orphanage — a meeting that changed everything for him. Rocky left his life, friends, and career to live with the kids. Steve Hoover, his best friend and filmmaker, was unsettled and intrigued by this drastic action. In an effort to find out what compelled Rocky to give up every source of stability in his life, he decided to trace Rocky’s story, following him to India.
