FRANCES – HA
86 m., R 35mm
www.franceshamovie.com
Greta Gerwig stars in Noah Baumbach’s film about an engaging but awkward woman struggling to find her place in the world in New York City. Frances is lovable but self-concious to a fault. It’s a fleet-footed personal journey of movie. This is the kind of small-budgeted, modestly-scaled movie festivals are known for nurturing. Telluride and Sundance both featured FRANCES-HA! to enthusiastic receptions.

ANGEL’S SHARE
101 m.,U, Bluray

Winner! Cannes Jury Prize, 2012. A comic fable about wasted talent nd what happens when we are given a second chance. Robbie hardly seems worthy of redemption. He’s being chased by thugs, his girlfriend is about to give birth and her father offers him money to leave. He has a penchant for whiskey though and that leads to his breakthrough.
The Angels’ share is the whiskey lost to evaporation in a perfect cask, a cask perfect for a heist. The Angels’ Share is a crowd-pleasing comedy from filmmaker Ken Loach (The Wind That Shakes The Barley.)

Pedro Almodovar’s first return to pure comedy since his Woman On The Verge Of A Nervous Breakdown. A sex-sizzled outrageous farce about a mixed bag of passengers and crew aboard a plane that seems destined to crash. Fortunately the crew has training in dance.
Candid conversations as well as musical interludes help them ward of fears of imminent death.
Speaking of Spain’s dire economic situation Almodovar says “I like the idea of helping people to have fun because the atmosphere right now is so bleak.”
Includes cameos from Penelope Cruz and Antonio Banderas.
