Writer-director Lech Majewski crafts intimate passion plays based on his own novel 'Metaphysics.' When London art historian Claudine (Claudine Spiteri) meets engineer Chris (Chris Nightingale), it is love and lust at first sight. But their spiritual and erotic connection is threatened by a devastating and deadly illness. Her remaining days on earth numbered, Claudine chooses to fan the flames of her obsession with Hieronymus Bosch by taking her lover on a trip to Venice, where the artist's work becomes the background for their physical passion and emotional discovery. Like Dante's Beatrice, Claudine becomes Chris' guide into a labyrinth of sensuality, death, regret, and temptation. Artist, filmmaker, poet, stage director, and modern Renaissance man Lech Majewski adapts his critically acclaimed novel METAPHYSICS to the screen with this moving story of sensuality, love, death, regret, and redemption. When London art historian Claudine meets engineer Chris, it is love and lust at first sight. But their time together could be cut short because of a deadly illness. In the face of almost certain death, Claudine chooses to take her lover on a trip to Venice, where the art of Hieronymus Bosch becomes the background for their physical passion and emotional discovery.

Richard Gere gives one of the best performances of his career in Lasse Hallström's vastly entertaining THE HOAX, based on true events. Gere stars as Clifford Irving, a struggling writer desperate to be a famous bestselling author. After his novel gets rejected, he concocts a crazy plot in which he convinces McGraw-Hill that he has been contacted by Howard Hughes in order to tell the official life story of the reclusive billionaire. With the help of his friend, nervous writer Dick Suskind (Alfred Molina), and Irving's artist wife, Edith (Marcia Gay Harden), he attempts to get away with one of the greatest literary hoaxes of the 20th century. He goes to elaborate lengths to pull the wool over the eyes of his editor, Andrea Tate (Hope Davis), as well as his publisher, Shelton Fisher (Stanley Tucci), and the managing editor of Life magazine, Ralph Graves (Zeljko Ivanek), who is offering big bucks to serialize the book. As Irving gets deeper ...

Daniel Auteil sheds the dramatic character of Michael Hanneke's CACHÉ to star in this light French comedy. Auteil plays François, an antiques dealer who finds it far easier to locate an Art Deco rarity than a true friend. He has plenty of professional contacts, but an utter lack of people skills leaves him alone after office hours. His business partner bets an expensive vase that he can't produce a friend within 10 days, and François struggles to pick out a best friend in an address book full of acquaintances and childhood chums. He keeps running into fellow loner Bruno (Dany Boon, THE VALET), who is friendly but can't trust anyone. Bruno teaches him to be "sympathique" (sociable) ...

Ken Kwapis (HE SAID, SHE SAID) directs this coming-of-age film based on the novel of the same name by Ann Brashares. This tale of lifelong friendship uses a pair of magical jeans as a metaphor for the moral support and shared happiness which forms the glue between four teenage girls. The quartet purchase the pants while shopping together before going separate ways for summer vacation. Shy, self-conscious Lena (Alexis Bledel) takes the jeans to Greece where she is visiting her grandparents. They hardly seem lucky when she falls into the sea while wearing the pants and almost drowns, only to be rescued by a local fisherman. Before recognizing that the pants ...
