During a sultry Paris summer, the lives of three young women-shy librarian Ida (Laurence Côte), questing for her birth parents; privileged Louise (Marianne Denicourt), looking for footing after a five-year coma; and ex-hooker Ninon (Nathalie Richard), trying to go honest as a courier-will intersect in surprising fashion. Jacques Rivette's sprightly callback to '50s Hollywood musicals also stars André Marcon, Bruno Todeschini, and Anna Karina. 169 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack French; Subtitles English; audio commentary; theatrical trailer. In French with English subtitles.
A hit-and-run accident in the Bronx prompts a citywide conflict, fueled by ambitious politicians, greedy lawyers and jaded ministers with a wealthy businessman in the center of the controversy. Based on the best-selling novel by Tom Wolfe.
In 1955 Henri-Georges Clouzot joined forces with his friend Pablo Picasso to make an entirely new kind of documentary - one that captured the moment and the mystery of creativity. For the film, Picasso created 20 artworks, ranging from playful B&W sketches to widescreen color paintings. Using inks that bled through the paper, Picasso rapidly created fanciful drawings that Clouzot was able to film from the reverse side, capturing their creation in real time. When the artist decided to paint in oils, the filmmaker switched to color film and employed the magic of stop-motion animation. By contract, almost all of these paintings were destroyed when the film was completed. The Mystery of Picasso is exhilarating, mesmerizing, and unforgettable - one of the greatest documentaries on art ever made.
