In the Name of...

In a rural community somewhere in Poland, a conscientious priest has gathered a handful of youngsters under his wing, desperately trying to keep them away from delinquency.

In a rural community somewhere in Poland, a conscientious priest has gathered a handful of youngsters under his wing, desperately trying to keep them away from delinquency. Among his unruly brood, a fragile young man will awaken sexual desires, bringing him face to face with his repressed sexuality, as well as the disciplined adherence to his religious beliefs.

This primordial clash between reason and instinct, what the mind dictates versus what the heart desires, is the focal point of “In the Name of”, a film made with unrivalled visual panache and endless understanding by Polish-born Malgorzata Szumowska. L.K.

Oh Boy

With a debut harbouring some serious Woody Allen-style irony, Jan Ole Gerster paints the bittersweet portrait of a character stuck somewhere between careless youth and pained adult.

Gloria

This unexpected movie treat by Chilean director Sebastián Lelio tells the story of a middle-aged divorcée who decides to take her life in her hands and, at the age of 58, take advantage of all the second chances she gets in life.

Don Jon

Don Jon (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is a ?Jersey Shore? producer's wet dream: he's cute, beefed up, American to the bone and nurses a special appreciation for the opposite sex. He has so many conquests that his friends have taken to calling him ?Don Jon?. What they don't know is that he's addicted to porn.

The Great Beauty

Operatic in dimensions with definite references to Federico Fellini's ?La Dolce Vita?, Paolo Sorrentino's new film soars across the big screen as an authentic audiovisual delirium, a whirlwind of people, places and events in a vivid kaleidoscope of human behavior.

Ain't Them Bodies Saints

David Lowery's ethereal new effort, winner of the Best Cinematography Award at Sundance, is a cross between the untainted beauty of "Badlands" and the violent honesty of "Bonnie and Clyde".

All is Lost

Can a film with a cast of one, very little dialogue and the endless blue sea as its sole location keep you nailed to your seat for one hour and 45 minutes? The answer is yes, if it's directed by J.C. Chandor.
