Our Time - DVD

In this enchanting and romantic tale, a simple chambermaid befriends the Contessa Sanziani, a woman whose stunning beauty once made her the most sought-after woman in all of Europe, and lives out her fantasies through the older woman's memories.

Richard Gere delivers a soul-baring performance as George, a man whose struggle to find food and a place to sleep in New York City is beautifully captured with remarkable realism and heartrending compassion. Shuffled into the unforgiving bureaucracy of a men's shelter, George seems destined to wind up as just another lost soul swallowed up by the system-until he meets a gregarious, down-and-out ex-jazzman (played by Broadway legend Ben Vereen) who inspires George to reconnect with his estranged daughter (Jena Malone). From Academy Award®-nominated* writer/director Oren Moverman (The Messenger), TIME OUT OF MIND is an unforgettable plunge into a world that is all too easily overlooked

The director of Pianoforte (1984) returns with an intimate and deeply moving reflection on her relationship with her father, Luigi Comencini - a revered figure in Italian cinema, yet a distant and elusive presence at home. With both tenderness and restraint, Francesca Comencini explores the contradictions of their bond, tracing a path from the wonder of childhood through the turmoil of adolescence, offering an honest and evocative portrait of love, memory, and the spaces in between. A devoted father and filmmaker (played by Fabrizio Gifuni) shares a special bond with his young daughter (played by Romana Maggiora Vergano), discovering the magic of childhood together - especially on the fantastical Pinocchio set he is working on, where chaos and wonder collide. But as the daughter grows, the enchantment begins to fade. Adolescence brings distance and disillusionment; she spirals into drug use, concealing her struggles from her father. Refusing to turn away, he takes a decisive step - bringing her to Paris in a final attempt to rekindle their connection and guide her back to herself.
