Standard Screen; Soundtrack French Cesar Paes's award-winning documentary, SAUDADE DO FUTURO, tells the story of the poor Nordestinos who travel south to try to find fame and fortune--or at least a better life--in the vibrant town of São Paulo, Brazil. Instead of making a more conventional documentary with voice-over narration, Paes, with his wife, Marie-Clémence, serving as executive producer, lets the people and the music speak for themselves. However, the performers are aware of the film, so some of the songs are written specifically for it, with one song even mentioning the title of the movie in the lyrics. The film focuses on how the music of these troubadors examines their everyday life, from family relationships and religion to finances and prejudice. The rhythm of the city, featuring the unique sounds of forró and repentismo, is even evident in the Brazilian stock market. Among the standout musicians are Sonhador et Peneira, who bang their tambourines as they exchange raplike stanzas, one trying to top the other by being faster and more creative; Zé Honorio, the well-respected accordionist; and the Banda de Pífanos, who are now in their third generation of detailing how hard life is in modern-day São Paulo. Theatrical Release Date: June 20, 2001 (NY)

The videotaped will of deceased billionaire Red Stevens (James Garner) includes the "ultimate gift" for his spoiled, sullen grandson Jason (Drew Fuller). A series of tasks meant to turn Jason from a hedonistic jerk into a compassionate human being is included in the will, but whether that's the gift or there's a fortune at the end of the rainbow is something Jason will just have to wait to find out. First, he's sent to Texas to work on the ranch of one of Red's old pals (Brian Dennehey). Then his trust fund is cut off and he's thrown into the streets where he battles a bum for a park bench and eventually makes friends with a young girl--dying of leukemia--named Emily (Abigail Breslin). There's some romantic bonding with Emily's struggling mom (Ali Hills) and danger down in Costa Rica, where Jason winds up hostage to some drug-running thugs. Bill Cobbs and Lee Meriwether are the lawyers who monitor Jason's progress.
This is a nice little movie, with a straightforward spiritual agenda. But it gets everything right, with minimum sermonizing and maximum heart. The cast is clearly into the spirit of the matter: Abigail Breslin (LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE) radiates oddball charm, and the eyes of old pros Garner, Denehey, Meriwether, and Cobbs are alight with compassion and nobility.

In this powerful semi-autobiographical film, acclaimed Spanish director Pedro Almodovar (ALL ABOUT MY MOTHER, TALK TO HER) tracks the formative experiences of his coming of age in a Catholic boys school. While the film benefits from Almodovar's limitless range of color, beauty, and moving expression, the themes presented are dark and difficult. Pedophilia, lost love, mistaken identity, manipulation, drug addiction, and desperation prevail, giving this otherwise sexy and vibrant film a chilling subtext.
Gael Garcia Bernal gives a jaw-dropping performance, playing two of the main characters. First, he plays a screenwriter named Ignacio, who reunites with his childhood friend, Enrique (Fele Martinez), a filmmaker, to sell him a script called "The Visit." He also plays the star of "The Visit"--a gorgeous cross-dresser and drug addict named Zahara. ...

This lighthearted documentary traces the humble origins of artist and pop icon Andy Warhol back to two small, quiet villages in Eastern Europe. There, director Stanislaw Mucha interviews subjects ranging from Warhol's relatives to the curator of Warhola Museum, who seems to have much different criteria for choosing which works to display than a western counterpart would. Mucha finds that the common thread running through all of these people is that, even though they may not fully understand what brought their most famous son such worldwide acclaim, they are proud that one of their own has achieved such ...
