Dedicated to his father, director Leopoldo Torre Nilsson (THE SEVEN MADMEN), Javier Torre's UN AMOR DE BORGES is a poignant look at a troubled, struggling writer and his life-affirming muse. Based on a true story, the film follows the 46-year-old Jorge Luis Borges, a childlike man firmly under his mother's control, as he falls in love with 26-year-old Estela Canto, a communist writer translating an Agatha Christie mystery into Spanish. Borges dreams of being a successful writer, coming alive only when he talks to Estela about Yeats, Shakespeare, Shaw--and his own slowly maturing work. As Estela helps expand Borges's limited world, his mother insists he end the relationship immediately--especially when Borges dedicates his next story, the soon-to-be-famous "The Aleph," to Estela. Jean Pierre Noher is extraordinary as Borges, walking and talking as if on eggshells, hesitant in his every movement, his eyes filled with an evocative loneliness even as the gift of sight is slowly taken away from him. Noher, who resembles a cross between Chazz Palminteri and Nathan Lane, won Best Actor awards at the Biarritz and Santo Domingo Film Festivals for his marvelous work. Inés Sastre is outstanding as Estela, a defiant, fiercely independent woman who wants more out of life than Borges is able to give. And Inda Ledesma is perfectly villainous as a mother who is unwilling to let her grown son do anything on his own--while also playing a crucial role in the development of his magnificent talent.
This film screened in New York City in May 2001 as part of the Recent Argentine Cinema film festival (Passionate Stories--a Passion for Storytelling) organized by the Film Society of Lincoln Center.

This impressive directorial debut from Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst revolves around an intelligent young man named Charlie (played by Jessie Eisenberg of THE SQUID AND THE WHALE) and his tense adult relationship with the neighborhood bully of his youth. Growing up in a tough part of New York City in the 1970s, Charlie notices, but makes a point of avoiding, Mitch, a kid who is chasing girls and beating kids up in the fourth grade. But Charlie's best friend, Danny (Chris Marquette), is eager to prove his toughness, and befriends Mitch as they enter adolescence. One fateful evening Mitch almost kills two guys in Charlie's presence, so Charlie goes to the cops--then becomes terrified and refuses to testify. But the potential ...

$15.05 
Brazilian director Fernando Meirelles (CITY OF GOD) brings Jose Saramago's much-loved novel BLINDNESS to the screen with this ambitious adaptation. Like Saramago's book, Meirelles chooses to forfeit names for his characters, instead spinning BLINDNESS around the plight of a doctor and his wife (respectively played by Mark Ruffalo and Julianne Moore). A blindness epidemic strikes an unnamed city, forcing the government to put many citizens in quarantine, including Ruffalo's doctor. Unable to conceive of life without him, Moore's character feigns blindness and joins him in the grimy high-security institution where visually impaired citizens are kept. Their attempt to survive in the rotting facility, which quickly ...

$12.99
Like the 2003 animated short films of the same name, STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS reveals what happened during the conflicts of the title, which are set between EPISODE II: ATTACK OF THE CLONES and EPISODE III: REVENGE OF THE SITH. Unlike the former series, this CLONE WARS feature film uses computer animation (rather than more traditional 2-D animation) to tell its tales, which follow Obi-Wan Kenobi (voiced by James Arnold Taylor), Anakin Skywalker (Matt Lanter), and precocious new Jedi recruit Ahsoka Tano (Ashley Eckstein) as they face off against the sinister Separatist forces led by Count Dooku (the legendary Christopher Lee, who reprises his role from the live-action movies). The film also features appearances by such beloved characters as Mace Windu (Samuel L. Jackson, also of EPISODES II and III), C3PO (Anthony Daniels), and Yoda (Tom Kane).
Directed by Dave Filoni (AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER), THE CLONE WARS shares the same era and characters as the 2003 series, but is stylistically quite different, with a blocky look influenced in part by the marionettes of the ...
