Cracks

Thu, 03/03/2011 - 14:10

CRACKS, the dazzling debut film from Jordan Scott (daughter of legendary director Ridley Scott), stars Eva Green as Miss G, a glamorous force in an idyllic British boarding school. The school's most elite clique, led by Di (Juno Temple), rule the school and compete for the attention of Miss G, who thrives on the girls' fascination and eggs them on with lessons in a scandalously liberated world view. But, when a beautiful Spanish girl, Fiamma (Maria Valverde), appears at the school, the girls are immediately threatened by the outsider's perfect allure.

Born and raised in NY, Eugène Green has made all his previous films in his adopted country of France – but his new work finds him relocating to Lisbon, Portugal, a mysterious city which serves as far more than a backdrop. The film’s protagonist is Julie de Hauranne, a young French actress, partly of Portuguese descent, who comes to Lisbon for the first time to star in a film inspired by the writer De Guilleragues’s LETTERS OF A PORTUGUESE NUN.

Audrey The Trainwreck

Wed, 01/26/2011 - 19:00

For Ron Hogan, life is fine… not great, not good, just… fine, and on the verge of retiring any sort of dream he’s harbored of a life less ordinary. Pushing thirty and working a thankless office job, internet dating is one more routine in Ron Hogan’s well-ordered life. God knows his lonely roommate and lonelier co-workers have tried, but not even a dart to the back of the head can shake him out of his funk. Until he meets Stacy, a fellow working stiff who disarms him by speaking the language of his loneliest moments.
