Medicine for Melancholy
Film Reviews: This "Before Sunrise"-like tale of two twentysomething strangers -- here African-American San Franciscans -- who spend an uninterrupted 24-hours-plus together doesn't mine quite enough character depth or drama to leave more than a fleetingly pleasant aftertaste.
A Journey with Peter Sellars (Voyage en Compagnie de Peter Sellars)
Film Reviews: Even bold stage director Peter Sellars' detractors -- of which there have been many -- should appreciate the passion and intelligence behind his oft-controversial artistic choices as captured in this portrait documentary.
Calavera Highway
Film Reviews: Docu "Calavera Highway" proves twisty in both geographic and psychological terms, following the long, wayward journey undertaken by a Los Angeles son to deliver his mother's ashes home to Texas -- stopping to visit each of his six brothers en route.
The Judge and the General
Film Reviews: Following their protagonist over nearly a decade, Elizabeth Farnsworth and Patricio Lanfranco Leverton's "The Judge and the General" is an engrossing look at a randomly appointed magistrate's dogged investigation of crimes under the rule of now-late Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet.
Sita Sings the Blues
Film Reviews: "Sita Sings the Blues," Nina Paley's delightfully subversive feminist musical version of the "Ramayana," spans continents and millennia in parallel stories of two wives being unfairly dumped, one in the American autobiographical present, the other in the mythical Indian past.
Lost Indulgence (Mi Guo)
Film Reviews: Up-and-coming Chinese helmer Zhang Yibai's latest feature, "Lost Indulgence," set beneath the disjointed halves of a huge bridge over the Yangtze, fluctuates between innocence and perversity. A bereaved family must reconfigure itself after the death of the father to accommodate the intrusion of a dancehall girl with a broken leg.
Gunnin' for That #1 Spot
Film Reviews: Zeroing in on eight of the 24 top high school basketball players invited to the first "Elite" competition at Harlem's legendary Rucker Park in 2006, "Gunnin' for That #1 Spot" offers a snapshot of the kind of top players who one day hope to have a shoe named after them.
Love, Pain & Vice-Versa (Violanchelo, a.k.a. Amor, Dolor y Viceversa)
Film Reviews: In Mexican tyro helmer Alonso Pineda-Ulloa's "Vanilla Sky"-type psychological thriller, "Love, Pain & Vice-Versa," one woman's dream turns out to be another man's nightmare. Pineda relies heavily on surprise twists and turns, and on the chemistry of matching sexpots Barbara Mori and Leonard Sbaraglia to sweep viewers along in a torrent of atmospheric stylings.
The Zen of Bobby V
Film Reviews: "The Zen of Bobby V" is an entertaining film on the colorful Bobby Valentine, a former major leaguer who has made a place for himself in the alien baseball culture of Japan.
The Memory Thief
Film Reviews: "The Memory Thief" is the flip side of Henry Bean's ethno-identity drama "The Believer," whose protagonist was a Jew-turned-neo-Nazi.
63 Years On (Ggeutnaji Anhmeun Jeon Jaeng )
Film Reviews: WWII traumas live on more than six decades later in "63 Years On," a low-key but determined documentary concerning the "comfort women" supplied by the Japanese government for the sexual pleasure of its troops.
Vasermil
Film Reviews: Raw-youth drama has long since become a cinematic cliche -- albeit one than can always be rejuiced by a fresh perspective.
Who's Next (Todos Estamos Invitados)
Film Reviews: Given its social significance, Basque terrorism has been the subject of surprisingly few Spanish films -- a situation the disturbing "Who's Next" aims to rectify.
The Demons of St. Petersberg
Film Reviews: After 19 years away, veteran helmer Giuliano Montaldo makes an airless return to features with "The Demons of St. Petersburg," an overstaged, fanciful Fyodor Dostoyevsky biopic.
Ice People
Film Reviews: Think your job environment is inhospitable? Try working alongside the scientists posted in high-altitude Antarctica at temperatures down to minus-60 degrees Fahrenheit in "Ice People."
Touching Home
Film Reviews: "Touching Home" emerges as a formulaic triumph-over-odds tale with too little distinguishing detail.
Ask Not
Film Reviews: Potent, evenhanded "Ask Not" argues that the "don't ask, don't tell" policy has only harmed U.S. military strength since President Clinton signed the ersatz "honorable compromise" in 1993.
A Previous Engagement
Film Reviews: If "A Previous Engagement" makes one think of the Harry Potter films, it's only because Juliet Stevenson is perhaps the only English actress of her stature who hasn't found a sinecure in the boy-wizard series. She casts her usual magic, however, in this frankly adult, determinedly lighthearted comedy of romantic errors.
The Great Alibi (Le Grand Alibi)
Film Reviews: Nobody's innocent in "The Great Alibi," a highly chatty, highly French whodunit from veteran writer and Jacques Rivette collaborator Pascal Bonitzer ("Small Cuts") that adapts Agatha Christie's 1946 novel "The Hollow" to chic present-day Gaul. With high-class corpses popping up faster than corks off champagne bottles, and strong ensemble thesping, this potboiler is pleasant enough, although the suspense often seems less about who killed whom than who will shut up first.
Childhoods (Enfances)
Film Reviews: The child is father to the filmmaker in "Childhoods," an entertaining re-creation of incidents in the lives of several revered auteurs by a series of lesser-known French helmers. Inevitably, the six segs vary in quality, but the combination of homage, drama and parlor game will appeal to movie buffs. Other auds may feel left out of the loop as, without prior knowledge of the subject's work, some episodes could seem baffling. Pic, which has already played some Gallic festivals, goes out in France in mid-May. Offshore, more fest slots are assured.
