Two excellent films are scheduled for April: the extraordinary RETURN TO SEOUL, with a knockout performance by actor Park Ji-Min, a French artist and the moving, heartfelt, and heartbreaking THE QUIET GIRL, short listed for Best International Film from Ireland. Just in case you missed it our March 27 film, THE CHILDREN OF LAS BRISAS, has been postponed until Summer due to technical issues with the digital master.

We will continue our mission of providing the Best of World Cinema to film lovers on Mondays in downtown Oxnard along with supporting local filmmakers Thanks and Be Safe, George J.

“Return to Seoul” is a startling and uneasy wonder, a film that feels like a beautiful sketch of a tornado headed directly toward your house." - Amy Nicholson, New York Times
"Extraordinary in every way." - Tim Cogshell, FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) "Return to Seoul unfolds as one of the rare movies that feels thoughtful and observant every minute, without tidy summations of feeling." - Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune |

"A genuine work of art by a genuinely empathetic artist, and one of the single most moving, heartfelt, and heartbreaking movies from any country in the last decade. That only sounds like hyperbole until you see it." - David Fear, Rolling Stone
"There may not be a movie more expressive of the season’s benevolent ethos than this hushed work about kith and kindness." - Lisa Kennedy, New York Times "The story is simple; it’s the connection between an invisible girl and a woman who finally sees her that forms the backbone of this lovely, handmade film." - Ty Burr, Ty Burr's Watch List |
