These three films have garnered international awards recognition.
Two critically rewarded films. The Little Sister won the Prix Louis-Delluc and the Best Actress award at the Cannes Film Festival, while In a Whisper made its premiere at the high-profile Berlinale.
The series includes the latest by the prodigious Olivier Assayas, Denis Podalydès as Inspector Jules Maigret, and Charlotte Rampling, whose arch stares can turn you into stone.
With its sprawling story of a fitful brotherhood at its center, Kokuho is often a film of ravishing beauty.
At the center of this black comedy stands the extraordinary performance of Ubeimar Ríos.
Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne’s latest, set in a state-run maternity home, follows five underprivileged teenagers who have either recently given birth or are about to.
The depth and nuance of loss are well-rendered in Israeli filmmaker Tom Nesher’s directorial debut.
An assured, affecting, and invigorating film that is likely to hold up to repeated viewings.
