Cannes Film Festival Winner – Un Certain Regard Award

Rio de Janeiro, 1950. Eurídice, 18, and Guida, 20, are two inseparable sisters living at home with their conservative parents. Although immersed in a traditional life, each one nourishes a dream: Eurídice of becoming a renowned pianist, Guida of finding true love. Guida soon gets her wish, and elopes with a handsome sailor. When she returns months later, pregnant and single, her father banishes her. Forced to live apart, they take control of their separate destinies, while never giving up hope of finding each other. Directed by Karim Ainouz. Subtitled. (139 mins)

“It’s a drama of resilient women, thoughtless men and crushingly unrealized dreams, told with supple grace, deep feeling and an empathy that extends in every direction.” – Justin Chang, Los Angeles Times

“Lush melodramas are a dying breed, especially masterful ones like Karim Aïnouz’s ‘Invisible Life’ that wear Douglas Sirkian genre conventions on their sleeve proudly and abundantly.” – Tomris Laffly, RogerEbert.com

“The film is so alive, so joyous and raucous at times, that the empathy you feel for these characters is all the more poignant and the catharsis is well earned. This is a film you fall into, like an embrace you wish two sisters would hold, but one that the world denies them.” – Josh Kupecki, The Austin Chronicle

For National Black History Month, we bring you this lauded drama adapted from Lorraine Hansberry’s immortal play of the same name (the first play by a black woman to be performed on Broadway). The Youngers, an African-American family living together in a cramped Chicago apartment, await a life-insurance check following the death of their patriarch. Opinions vary – and tensions arise – over what to do with the money. Vividly rendering Hansberry’s sharp observations on generational conflict and housing discrimination, director Daniel Petrie’s film captures the high stakes, shifting currents, and varieties of experience within black life in midcentury America. Starring Sidney Poitier and Ruby Dee. (1961, PG, 128 mins)

Oscar Nominee – Best International Film

Inspired by the actions of immigrants in their ongoing struggle for social and economic justice in France, this update of Les Misérables is directed by French-Mali filmmaker Ladj Ly. The story follows Stéphane (Damien Bonnard), a recent transplant to the impoverished Paris suburb of Montfermeil, as he joins the local anti-crime squad. Working alongside his unscrupulous colleagues Chris (Alexis Manenti) and Gwada (Djebril Zonga), Stéphane struggles to maintain order amidst the mounting tensions between local gangs. When an arrest turns unexpectedly violent, the three officers must reckon with the aftermath and keep the neighborhood from spiraling out of control. Academy Award nominee for Best International Feature. In French with subtitles. (R, 106 mins)

“It’s an urgent portrait that captures a much different Paris than the original 1862 novel, but its themes remain. Victor Hugo would be proud.” – Adam Graham, Detroit News

“With ‘Les Misérables,’ Ly delivers a passionate protest on behalf of an entire generation, whose future has largely been foreclosed.” – Ann Hornaday, Washington Post

Mark Ruffalo’s personal film project is a scathing expose of the ongoing corporate poisoning and lies in the decades-long production of teflon coating by Dupont. Teflon is just one chemical in the family of “forever chemicals” that never breakdown, called PFOAs. These carbon compounds bioaccumulate in our bodies and in the environment. The corporate-friendly EPA has yet to classify these chemicals as toxic pollutants under the Clean Water Act. Based on an ongoing lawsuit filed in West Virginia by plaintiffs poisoned by the chemicals, Ruffalo plays the tenacious corporate-friendly attorney who turns against the industry when he discovers corporate malfeasance. Directed by Todd Haynes (Carol, Far From Heaven). (PG-13, 126 mins)

“It’s a David and Goliath story with a central figure who knows what’s right and keeps chipping away, bit by bit, until he gets to the truth.” – Adam Graham, Detroit News

“Haynes carefully navigates the risky terrain of presenting real people (who are still among us) and facts in a scripted feature film, artfully blurring the lines between documentary and drama.” – Bradley Gibson, Film Threat

“The brilliance of ‘Dark Waters’ is that it is able to lay out the case against DuPont without getting too wonky.” – Allen Johnson, San Francisco Chronicle
