Dinner for Schmucks
A decent cast wrestle with a crummy script in this loose and creaky Hollywood spin on 'Le dîner de Cons', Francis Veber's award-winning French play and film.
22 Bullets (L'Immortel)
Jean Reno is at his best as Charlie Matteï, a retired mobster who goes on a revenge spree after being left for dead with 22 bullets in his body. A must see!
Certified Copy
A beautiful film by Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami set in Tuscany for which Binoche rightly won yet another award at this year's Cannes Film Festival.

Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky
Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky is the latest film on the Grande Dame of fashion, but instead of focusing on clothes, it explores the consuming relationship between the fashion icon and the radical composer.
London River
The year is 2005. Two people with two very different background and coming from different places make a journey together to find their children who are studying in London.
White Material
Isabelle Huppert, one of France's best actresses, joins forces with Claire Denis (35 Shots of Rum) one of France's best female directors, to bring us perhaps one of the most remarkable films. A coffee plantation owner who against all odds bravely refuses to leave before the harvest. This is all happening the middle of chaos, advancing militia and gratuitous violence. Meanwhile, her husband (Christophe Lambert) cuts a deal with the local mayor, her layabout son goes crazy and a wounded rebel soldier (Isaach De Bankole) seeks refuge in her house from the resurgent army. Not to be missed.
Heartbreaker
Two of French cinema's brightest things team up in this delightful comedy about life, love and break-ups, which earned an astonishing 10 million Euros at the French box office in just 10 days. Romain Duris (THE BEAT THAT MY HEART SKIPPED) and Vanessa Paradis (GIRL ON THE BRIDGE) play fools for love when an indecent business opportunity sees their paths cross. Sibling business partners Alex (Duris) and Mélanie (Ferrier) earn a living orchestrating the separation of couples whose spark has fizzled out.
Le Refuge
Mousse and Louis are young, beautiful, rich and in love. But drugs have invaded their lives. One day, they overdose and Louis dies. Mousse survives, but soon learns she's pregnant. Feeling lost, Mousse runs away to a house far from Paris. Several months later, Louis' brother joins her in her refuge.
Gainsbourg
Sfar's film takes the audience through the various phases of Gainsbourg's career: the childhood in Nazi-occupied Paris; the musical awakening in the 50s; the love-affairs with Brigitte Bardot and Birkin. Then later comes the fame, the outrageous behaviour, the drunkenness - and finally death by heart-attack in 1991 at the age of 62. Today, Gainsbourg's grave in Montparnassse cemetery is the most-visited in France, and his house on the Left Bank is still covered with adulatory graffiti.
The Concert
Andrei Filipov (Alexei Guskov) is a former conductor of the Bolshoi Orchestra, who was stripped of his position in 1980 for refusing to fire his Jewish musicians, as part of Brezhnev's anti-Semitic decrees. A recovered alcoholic, he works a denigrating janitorial job at the Bolshoi while his wife runs a business procuring extras for the grotesquely lavish weddings and funerals of Russian tycoons. When Andrei intercepts a fax from the Theatre du Chatelet inviting the Bolshoi Orchestra to Paris, he comes up with a plan to redeem his dream.
The Leopard
Luchino Visconti's masterpiece, "The Leopard" is based on the novel by Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa. Starring Alain Delon. A must-see.
Breathless
A young car thief kills a policeman and tries to persuade a girl to hide in Italy with him. A classic, directed by Jean-Luc Godard.
