If there was ever a current director working today who should be making a film about artist Salvador Dalí, it is French writer/director Quentin Dupieux.

These were some of Toronto’s top picks.

A methodical and engrossing courtroom drama based on the real-life 1976 trial of the mercurial far-left militant Pierre Goldman.

The debut film by Giovanni Tortorici, a spry filmmaker, has moxie.

Director Milad Tangshir’s feature debut expands upon a certain Italian neorealism classic, Vittorio De Sica’s Bicycle Thieves.

Life can turn around with an airborne feather, a chicken dance, and an oldie or two.

An atmospheric police procedural that doesn’t offer the consolation typical of more routine detective pictures.

A tense, gripping story of an ultra-dangerous liaison, Catherine Breillat’s latest film makes every scene count and keeps you hooked.

The hit of the series is There’s Still Tomorrow, a sensation and conversation piece in Italy.
