Carnage traces the bizarre, often magical effects a 1,000-pound Andalusian bull has on a disparate group of characters. The bull?s name is Romero - "Rosemary" in Spanish -- and in Spain, it is believed that the herb rosemary possesses great healing powers. The tale begins in Spain as a young bullfighter is gored in the ring and the bull is killed. Overnight, various parts of the anima l--horns, eyes, bones -- make their way to recipients across Europe. A little girl named Winnie gets one of the bones as a treat for her giant Great Dane; a struggling actress (Chiara Mastroianni) sells Winnie's parents the bone in a supermarket promotion; a philandering scientist (Jacques Gamblin) and his pregnant wife receive the eyes; a taxidermist gets the horns as a gift from his elderly mother; a Spanish woman (Angela Molina) dines on toro en rioja in a restaurant. With elegance, humor and a remarkable visual command, Gleize weaves these stories together, creating a fresh take on one of the recurr

Though Love Songs (aka Les Chansons d'Amour) is not a film operetta per se, director Christophe Honor and composer/lyricist/vocalist Alex Beaupain use that film to pay homage to the French movie musical as conceived by Jacques Demy in his classic Les Parapluies de Cherbourg (1967). The Honor film concerns a series of hopelessly romantic Parisian characters who are unable to convey their feelings to one another in everyday situations, and who thus use musical numbers as outlets -- as vehicles of emotional expression. Beaupain composed the score; a number of the songs that are included appeared on one of his solo albums. The individual stories covered in the film tell age-worn tales as old as time: the loss of love, the discovery of new love, the impossibility of mutual love. The film stars Louis Garrel, Ludivine Sagnier, Chiara Mastroianni, Clotilde Hesme, Gr goire Leprince-Ringuet, Brigitte Ro an, Jean-Marie Winling, and Yannick Renier. - Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide

Persepolis

Thu, 06 Dec 2007 01:12:28 -0500

Persepolis is the poignant story of a young girl in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. It is through the eyes of precocious and outspoken nine year old Marjane that we see a people's hopes dashed as fundamentalists take power - forcing the veil on women and imprisoning thousands. Clever and fearless, she outsmarts the 'social guardians' and discovers punk, ABBA and Iron Maiden. Yet when her uncle is senselessly executed and as bombs fall around Tehran in the Iran/Iraq war, the daily fear that permeates life in Iran is palpable. As she gets older, Marjane's boldness causes her parents to worry over her continued safety. And so, at age fourteen, they make the difficult decision to send her to school in Austria. Vulnerable and alone in a strange land, she endures the typical ordeals of a teenager. In addition, Marjane has to combat being equated with the religious fundamentalism and extremism she fled her country to escape. Over time, she gains acceptance, and even experiences love, bu
