2010 Academy Award®: Best Foreign Language Film
This enthralling Argentine thriller from writer/director Juan José Campanella (SAME LOVE, SAME RAIN and SON OF THE BRIDE) earned a 2010 Academy Award® nomination in the Best Foreign Language Film category. Benjamin (Ricardo Darin), a retired lawyer, reunites with judge Irene (Soledad Villamil), with whom he worked long ago, to rehash the brutal case of rape, murder and false conviction he can’t purge from his mind. Benjamin tracks down the true killer, but he is confounded when Argentina’s secret police recruit the criminal for their own purposes. THE SECRET IN THEIR EYES weaves subtle political commentary into a rousing crime drama.

Grand Jury Prize winner and Golden Palm nominee this year at Cannes, writer/director Jacques Audiard (READ MY LIPS, THE BEAT THAT MY HEART SKIPPED) continues his specialty in the underground crime genre with his fifth feature: A PROPHET. A huge success at the French box office, the film represents France as the official submission at the Oscars this year, for which it received a nomination.

(From SmART Film - Marian Luntz, Houston Chronicle)
One of the year’s best documentaries, Fred Wiseman’s La Danse: The Paris Opera Ballet is now playing at the Angelika Film Center. The Chronicle’s rave review joins a long list of praises this extraordinary film has inspired. Octogenarian Wiseman is a master of the observational style of filmmaking: his subjects reveal themselves with no voiceovers and no talking heads. This film, his 38th, goes behind the scenes of this legendary dance company through rehearsals, meetings, and performances, in an absolutely captivating way. You’ll be surprised when its 2 1/2 hours are over…(more)

OPENS TODAY: Dallas & Houston (advance tickets)
THE IMAGINARIUM OF DR. PARNASSUS
Paying tribute to the late Academy Award winner Heath Ledger in his final role, THE IMAGINARIUM OF DOCTOR PARNASSUS is a fantastical morality tale set in the present-day. Blessed with the extraordinary gift of guiding others’ imaginations, Dr. Parnassus (Christopher Plummer) heads up his ‘Imaginarium’, a travelling show where audience members must choose between light and joy or darkness and gloom. Directed by Academy Award winner Terry Gilliam (MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL , LIFE OF BRIAN , FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS), THE IMAGINARIUM also features Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law.

OPENS 02/05 AT THE ANGELIKA NEW YORK
A festival favorite, pulling in an impressive 19 awards including seven Robert Awards (Danish Oscars®), TERRIBLY HAPPY is Denmark’s official entry for consideration in the Academy Awards’® Foreign Language Film category. Reminiscent of the Coen Brothers BLOOD SIMPLE and NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, TERRIBLY HAPPY displays a unique, often macabre vision of the darkest depths to which people will go to achieve security and belonging. Robert (Jakob Cedergren) is a Copenhagen police officer who, following a nervous breakdown, is transferred to a small provincial town to take on the mysteriously vacated Marshall position. Robert’s big city temperament makes it impossible for him to fit in and he quickly spirals downward in this darkly comedic tale.

Shakespeare’s ALL’S WELL THAT ENDS WELL, in a highly acclaimed production by Marianne Elliott, will be filmed live at the National Theatre in London and broadcast by satellite to cinemas worldwide. ALL’S WELL is the second play in the pilot season of NT Live, the National’s ground-breaking initiative which launched in June with the hugely successful broadcast of Phèdre with Helen Mirren, seen by 50,000 people in 19 countries around the globe.

Set against a background of sexism, snobbery and a battle between the generations, ALL’S WELL THAT ENDS WELL turns fairytale logic on its head in a wondrous, bittersweet story. The feisty but lowly Helena (Michelle Terry) falls in love with Bertram (George Rainsford), a haughty count. To gain his hand she is set a string of impossible tasks. Nevertheless, our heroine, whether wisely or no, refuses to give him up.

AO. Scott is calling it “…the best nondocumentary American feature made yet about the war in Iraq“. THE HURT LOCKER, playing at the Angelika Dallas starting 07/10 and the Angelika Houston starting 7/24, comes from POINT BREAK director Kathryn Bigelow.

Winner of four awards at the 2008 Venice Film Festival, the film follows a new sergeant, James (Jeremy Renner – THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES), who takes over a highly trained bomb disposal team amidst violent conflict. He surprises his two subordinates, (played by Anthony Mackie – WE ARE MARSHALL and Brian Geraghty - JARHEAD), by recklessly plunging them into a deadly game of urban combat.
