La Danse

(From SmART Film – Marian Luntz, Houston Chronicle)
One of the year’s best documentaries, Fred Wiseman’s La Danse: The Paris Opera Ballet is now playing at the Angelika Film Center.  The Chronicle’s rave review joins a long list of praises this extraordinary film has inspired.  Octogenarian Wiseman is a master of the observational style of filmmaking: his subjects reveal themselves with no voiceovers and no talking heads.  This film, his 38th, goes behind the scenes of this legendary dance company through rehearsals, meetings, and performances, in an absolutely captivating way.  You’ll be surprised when its 2 1/2 hours are over…(more)

DR PARNASSUS

OPENS TODAY: Dallas & Houston (advance tickets)
THE IMAGINARIUM OF DR. PARNASSUS
Paying tribute to the late Academy Award winner Heath Ledger in his final role, THE IMAGINARIUM OF DOCTOR PARNASSUS is a fantastical morality tale set in the present-day. Blessed with the extraordinary gift of guiding othersâ?? imaginations, Dr. Parnassus (Christopher Plummer) heads up his â??Imaginariumâ??, a travelling show where audience members must choose between light and joy or darkness and gloom. Directed by Academy Award winner Terry Gilliam (MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL , LIFE OF BRIAN , FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS), THE IMAGINARIUM also features Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law.

AFC NY: ROBERT AWARD WINNER OPENS 02/05

January 6, 2010

TERRIBLY HAPPY

OPENS 02/05 AT THE ANGELIKA NEW YORK
A festival favorite, pulling in an impressive 19 awards including seven Robert Awards (Danish Oscars®), TERRIBLY HAPPY is Denmarkâ??s official entry for consideration in the Academy Awardsâ??® Foreign Language Film category. Reminiscent of the Coen Brothers BLOOD SIMPLE and NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, TERRIBLY HAPPY displays a unique, often macabre vision of the darkest depths to which people will go to achieve security and belonging. Robert (Jakob Cedergren) is a Copenhagen police officer who, following a nervous breakdown, is transferred to a small provincial town to take on the mysteriously vacated Marshall position. Robertâ??s big city temperament makes it impossible for him to fit in and he quickly spirals downward in this darkly comedic tale.
