FILMS FRANÇAIS PRÉFÉRÉS

JUNE 7 (7:00 & 9:10)

PURPLE RAIN Albert Magnoli, USA, 1984, 109 min; PGA time capsule of style and attitude. It does what musicals are supposed to do: It rides the underlying currents of its moment and renders them glorious. Loosely based on aspects of Prince’s life, it’s about a Minneapolis musician called “the Kid,” who wants to make a mark on the national scene. —San Francisco Chronicle

JUNE 8 (7:00 & 9:20)

WHERE TO INVADE NEXT Michael Moore, USA, 2015, 121 min; PGMichael Moore has made his most enjoy-able film in years and also his most inspir-ing, the antidote to global doom and gloom. He visits countries (Italy, France, Germany, Portugal, Slovenia, Iceland, Tunisia) that each seem to have found bet-ter ways of delivering many social benefits. —Toronto Star

JUNE 12 (4:30 & 7:00)

KNIGHT OF CUPS Terrence Malick, USA, 2016, 119 min; PG Terrence Malick is inventing a new kind of cinema, of ecstasy, of the spirit, of witnessing the beauty in all things. As a story, his new film is instantly forgettable. But the experience of the film is about creating a feeling of transcendence and joy through visual means. It’s remarkable. Forget plot, forget characters. This film is an invitation to pay attention to life. Christian Bale plays a screenwriter. The setting is Los Angeles and Las Vegas, with the film arranged in sev-eral parts, each with a chapter head named for a Tarot card. We meet the screenwriter’s wife (Cate Blanchett), his gruff father (Brian Dennehy). Time is passing, everything is falling away, but then opening up into eternity. And all things are glorious. —San Francisco Chronicle

JUNE 5 (4:45 & 7:00)

THE LADY IN THE VAN Director: Nicholas Hytner; UK, 2015, 105 minutes; PGA fine, moving comedy of English manners between a writer (Alex Jennings) and his eccentric tenant (Maggie Smith), which slowly deepens into an exploration of human bonds. Based on the book and stage accounts of the peculiar van-lady who took ref-uge on his property, Alan Bennett’s brew of social observation and self-examination comes to the screen. Maggie Smith, as you would expect, has a ball. She is shrill and hilarious, but not a joke. Her abandoned life haunts Bennett. Who is she? How did she end up like this? And why does he care so much? —Empire

HELLO, MY NAME IS DORIS Michael Showalter, USA, 2016, 90 min; PG Cast: Sally Field, Max Greenfield, Tyne DaiyA sharp dramedy focusing on the romantic stirrings of a lonely office worker, played with considerable wit and verve by the 69-year-old Sally Field. Director Michael Showalter shows a deft hand here, gently guiding Field through the minefield that is modern romance. Field, meanwhile, has rarely been better – though perhaps that’s simply because it’s been so long since the Oscar winner has been given the chance to play anything but grandmothers and overprotective aunts. —The Globe and Mail

MILES AHEAD Don Cheadle, USA, 2016, 101 min; 14A A wildly entertaining, impressionistic, no-holds barred portrait of one of 20th century music’s creative geniuses, Miles Davis, featuring a career defining performance by Oscar nominee Don Cheadle. In the midst of a dazzling and prolific career at the forefront of modern jazz innovation, Miles Davis virtually disappears from public view in the late 1970s. Alone and holed up in his home, he is beset a deteriorating hip, his musical voice stifled and numbed by drugs and pain medications, his mind haunted by unsettling ghosts from the past. Plagued by years of regret and loss, Davis flirts with annihilation until he once again finds salvation in his art. —Rose Theatre

LOVE & FRIENDSHIPWhit Stillman, USA/Ireland, 2016, 92 minThe first time I saw Love & Friendship I fell head over heels. And like anything you love at first sight, you want to see it again. I can’t think of a more wickedly modern romantic comedy, even though the film is based on Lady Susan, an unfinished epistolary novella that Jane Austen wrote in 1794 when she was about 20. A sublime Kate Beckinsale digs into the role of her career as Lady Susan Vernon, a widow with impeccable taste and scheming ambitions. It’s pure pleasure and ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES OF THE YEAR. —Rolling Stone

SONG OF LAHORESharmeen Obaid-Chinoy & Andy Schocken; Pakistan/USA, 2015, 82 min, English & Urdu with subtitles This excellent documentary follows a group of Pakistani classical musicians who were invited to perform at Lincoln Center.

I AM THE BLUESDaniel Cross; USA/Canada, 2016, 106 min A musical journey through the swamps of the Louisiana Bayou, the juke joints of the Mississippi Delta and moonshine-soaked BBQs. Visiting the last original blues devils, many in their 80’s, still living in the deep south, and touring the Chitlin’ Circuit. Let Bobby Rush, Barbara Lynn, Henry Gray, Carol Fran, Lazy Lester, Bilbo Walker, RL Boyce, Jimmy ’Duck’ Holmes, Lil Buck Sinegal, LC Ulmer and their friends awaken the blues in all of us.

THE JUNGLE BOOKJon Favreau; USA, 2016, 106 minutes; PG – may frighten young children. Voices of: Bill Murray, Idris Elba, Scarlett Johansson, Ben Kingley, Lupita Nyong’o, Christopher WalkenThe new Disney version of Rudyard Kipling’s Jungle Book is a triumph of technology. It’s dazzling — almost no one will dislike it. The movie uses a real actor, Neel Sethi as Mowgli, the boy raised by wolves, and surrounded by brilliantly computer-animated wolves, panthers, tigers, and bears. The journey is thrillingly kinetic.   —New York Magazine

PURPLE NOONRené Clément; France, 1960, 117 min French with subtitlesThis ripe, colorful adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s novel The Talented Mr. Ripley stars Alain Delon as a duplicitous charmer. What seems a carefree tale soon morphs into a thrill-ing saga of seduction, identity theft, and murder. Gorgeous location photography of coastal Italy.

INTO THE FORESTPatricia Rozeema; Canada, 2015, 101 min; 14A Two sisters, Nell (Ellen Page) and Eva (Evan Rachel Wood), live in a home up in the moun-tains on the West Coast. Suddenly, the power goes out. No one knows why. Then, one day, the radio stops broadcasting. Step by ominous step, everything that Nell, an aspiring academic and Eva, a promising dancer, have come to rely on is stripped away. The sisters fall deeper into a primitive life that tests their endurance and their bond. Based on the popular novel by Jean Heglund. —Vancouver International Film Festival

BOREALISSean Garrity; Canada, 2015, 95 min This made-in-Manitoba road movie is full of rich comic moments and euphoric revela-tions. What makes the film soar is the chemistry between actor Jonas Chernick and rising teen star Joey King. Chernick, who wrote the script, plays a deceitful, unem-ployed dad. King plays his daughter, with whom he is trying to reconnect as she is about to go blind. He drives north to Churchill to show her the Northern Lights before she’s unable to see them. —Toronto Star

DHEEPANJacques Audiard; France, 2015, Tamil & French with subtitles, 115 min; 14AFrench director Jacques Audiard (“Rust and Bone”) ‘s latest film is almost entirely in the Tamil language. It’s about a family of immigrants newly arrived in France – only they’re really strang-ers huddling under a flag of convenience to leave Sri Lanka. Yalini (Kalieaswari Srinivasan) is a woman who enlists a girl to play her daughter, while “husband” Dheepan (Jesuthasan Antonythasan) is a militant with the recently defeated Tamil Tigers. French social services bil-let them in a dilapidated estate, where Dheepan works as a caretaker – and where a drug war is about to erupt. —The Guardian

JUNE 20 & 21 (7:00 & 9:20)

EVERYBODY WANTS SOME!!Richard Linklater; USA, 2016, 117 min; 14AA hilarious comedy about male bonding, Richard Linklater’s latest ranks right up there with his masterpieces. After “Boyhood,” he now serves up a deceptively simple comedy about the weekend shenanigans that transpire at a Texas college in August 1980. The school’s rowdy baseball team welcomes freshman pitcher Jake (Blake Jenner) with the kind of genial haz-ing that brings to mind Linklater’s “Dazed and Confused.” Bongs will be lit. Pink Floyd will be discussed. —Time Out

JULY 13 & 14 (7:00 & 9:15)

THE MAN WHO KNEW INFINITYMatt Brown; UK, 2015, 109 min; PG The true story of self-taught mathematical genius Srinivasa Ramanujan. “You dance with numbers up to infinity,” says Professor Hardy (Jeremy Irons), admiringly, to his protégé Srinivasa Ramanujan (Dev Patel), a self-taught mathematics genius. It’s 1913, at Trinity College in Cambridge University, and Ramanujan, an impoverished accounting clerk, has left India in the hopes of convincing the academic establishment to publish his theories. “Infinity,” like all good biopics, leaves you wanting to know more about its subject and about the mysterious way that math geniuses think. —Seattle Times

JULY 15 & 16 (7:00 & 9:20)

HIGH-RISEBen Wheatley; UK, 2015, 119 min; 18A Cast: Tom Hiddleston, Sienna Miller and Jeremy IronsCould this happen in Trump Tower? This adaptation of J.G. Ballard’s 1975 novel stars Tom Hiddleston as the upwardly-mobile surgeon who has no idea what is store when he moves into his sleek new apartment building. It’s a scorching satire concerning class, hedonism and depravity. Imagine an adult “Lord of the Flies” cross-wired with the faulty towers in Terry Gilliam’s “Brazil.” —Vancouver International Film Festival

JULY 8 & 9 (7:00 & 9:10)

THE MEDDLERLorene Scafaria; USA, 2016, 104 min; PGSusan Sarandon is a star shining on her highest beams. She dives into her juiciest role in years as Marnie, a New Jersey widow who travels to Los Angeles to be near her screen-writer daughter (Rose Byrne). Why? The title would indicate it’s to meddle, but the gifted writer-director Lorene Scafaria is after something far less clichéd and more nuanced, turning the film into a hilarious and heartfelt tribute to mothering. Watching Sarandon chart Marnie’s slow-growing self awareness is a thing of beauty. —Rolling Stone

July 6 & 7 (7:00 & 9:00)

DISORDERAlice Winocour; France, 2015, 99 min, French with subtitles; PG A pulsing, sexy thriller. Matthias Schoenaerts plays Vincent, a French military man who may not be able to go back to active duty due to his war-induced mental anguish. He is hired to watch over a Lebanese businessman’s wife (Diane Kruger), and Vincent is clearly drawn to her. Paranoid and suffering from panic attacks, Vincent is not really the best guy for this job. Is this family in any danger, or is Vincent just losing it? That’s initially unclear, the film filling with a tingly air of uncertainty. —Vanity Fair

JULY 4 & 5 (7:00 & 9:20)

I SAW THE LIGHTMarc Abraham; USA, 2015, 124 min; PG Tom Hiddleston takes centre stage as country music legend and legendary renegade Hank Williams. This adaptation of Colin Escott’s definitive biography chronicles Williams’ rapid ascent to stardom, his whirlwind romance with Audrey Mae (Elizabeth Olsen) and the tragedy of a life and career cut short. Laid to rest at only 29, Williams left behind a truly remarkable body of work that saw a staggering 35 Top 10 singles released in only six years. Hiddleston handles his own singing chores here and does the man—and his music—proud. —Vancouver International Film Festival

Clay has been tasked with selling a holographic communication system. Problem is, he’s having trouble getting a meeting with the king’s representative. Engulfed in the Saudi heat, Clay strives to keep his cool. Based on the novel by Dave Eggers; director Tom Tykwer delivers a delightfully reflective comedy-drama. —St. Louis Post-Dispatch

SING STREETJohn Carney; Ireland, 2016, 106 min; PGWelcome to 1985’s Dublin, where times are desperate and London is the dream destina-tion, just a pop song away. It’s the setting for this uplifting crowd-pleaser. As he did with “Once,” Irish filmmaker John Carney mixes realism with romanticism. Young teenage Cosmo (Ferdia Walsh-Peelo) spends the film not fitting in – but looking to get in with an older girl (Lucy Boynton). The soundtrack is a pure love letter to eighties radio, and the climactic scene will cause hearts to cheer and chests to swell. —The Globe and Mail

DARK HORSELouise Osmond; UK, 2015, 87 mins; GThis account of Welsh villagers who team up to sponsor a race horse that surprises everyone by turning out a winner, has all the elements of crowd-pleasing Britflicks such as “The Full Monty,” “Billy Elliott” and “Pride.” Louise Osmond’s genial, enthralling documentary is one of those real-life, against-all-odds sagas that almost defies belief, yet the most important elements here are the characters. Two stand out in particular—one human, one equine. The biped is a twinkly-eyed, middle-aged woman named Jan Vokes who works as a barmaid in a depressed Welsh village. Horse racing is a sport that’s belonged to the aristocracy for centuries, but Jan has an idea. The expenses are more than she could afford, obviously, but what if a group of friends shared them? She quickly assembles a team of allies. The horse, named Dream Alliance, eventually wins a high-profile race. Jan Vokes’ irrepressible sense of fun—which encompasses realizing her whole enterprise’s absurd improbability—sets the film’s light-hearted, engaging tone. —RogerEbert.com
