WILD TALES
RELATOS SALVAJES
2015 Argentina 2hr 2 minutes
Comedy/Drama/Thriller Rated R
In Spanish with English subtitles
Nominated for Academy Award for Best International Film 2015.
Inequality, injustice and the demands of the world we live in cause stress and depression for many people. Some of them, however, explode. This is a movie about those people.
Vulnerable in the face of a reality that shifts and suddenly turns unpredictable, the characters of Wild Tales cross the thin line that divides civilization and barbarism. A lover's betrayal, a return to the repressed past and the violence woven into everyday encounters drive the characters to madness as they cede to the undeniable pleasure of losing control. Winner of 50 International Awards.

THE BLUE TRAIL
O ÚLTIMO AZUL
2025 Brazil 1hr 26 minutes
Drama/Adventure/Fantasy NR
In Brazilian Portuguese with English subtitles
In a not-so-distant dystopian future where the government sends seniors to isolated colonies under the guise of boosting the economy, 77-year-old Tereza (Denise Weinberg) decides her story is far from over. Refusing to surrender her independence, she embarks on a journey to pursue the dreams she is not yet ready to abandon. Along the way, she discovers freedom, companionship, and the joys of going wherever the river takes her. Winner of the Silver Bear Grand Jury Prize at the 75th Berlin International Film Festival, the latest from director Gabriel Mascaro (Neon Bull, Divine Love) is an inspiring reminder that it's never too late to take flight.

"Mascaro’s film charts a unique course itself and does so in under 90 minutes. Mascaro is in full control as is his main star for a triumph about overcoming the odds and fighting back against a culture that wants to throw the elderly overboard." - Randy Myers, San Jose Mercury News
"It's a very inspiring film. It's a film that evokes a great many sensations, considerable thoughts, [and] several emotions." Erick Estrada, Cinegarage "The Blue Trail is a generic mashup: it partly has the bittersweet tone of many films about defiant old people, and partly it has something far more subversive and disquieting. The mix of tones is interesting, like chewing cake and cheese at the same time." - Peter Bradshaw, Guardian · |

2025 France 1hr 42 minutes
Comedy/Drama NR

"Emmanuel Courcol’s Gallic charmer is nevertheless the film we need right now: a story in which people learn to be their best selves; that pays respect to working communities torn apart by the global economy; a story, moreover, centred on a brass band." -Stephanie Bunbury, Sydney Morning Herald
"Warm and sure-footed, the film has the feel of a richly satisfying meal in an excellent neighbourhood bistro. Old world pleasures of character and story are generously apportioned." - Danny Leigh, Financial Times |
