Ema - BLU-RAY

In the Bolivian highlands, elderly and infirm Quechua llama herders Virginio (José Calcina) and Sisa (Luisa Quispe) live the humble existence they always had-or tried to, as long-standing drought has driven all but a stubborn few from their village. Despite the entreaties of their grandson (Santos Choque) to join him in the city, the couple fatefully cling to the only life they know, in this visually spectacular opus with a largely nonprofessional cast. 87 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack Spanish and Quechua; Subtitles English; image gallery; theatrical trailer. In Spanish and Quechua with English subtitles.

Directed by Giuseppe Tornatore and featuring a career defining performance by Monica Bellucci, Malèna is a sensual and melancholic coming of age drama set in wartime Sicily. Seen through the eyes of a young boy, the film examines desire, rumor, and societal judgment, enhanced by Ennio Morricone's evocative score.

In 18th-century colonial Paraguay, local-born administrative functionary Don Diego de Zama (Daniel Giménez Cacho) dutifully and pompously serves the will of the Spanish Empire and dreams of his advancement to a more prestigious post. Cunning coworkers and humbling fate, however, will assure that the better life he seeks stays out of his reach. Lucrecia Martel's take on the Antonio di Benedetto novel co-stars Lola Dueñas, Matheus Nachtergaele, Juan Minujín. 115 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack Spanish; Subtitles English. In Spanish with English subtitles.
