SUMMARY:The Last Mistress
DESCRIPTION:"I detest anything feminine\, except in men\, of course\," remarks La Villini (Asia Argento)\, the ravenous center of Catherine Breillat's glorious new film based on the controversial novel by 19th century author and dandy Jules-Amedee Barbey d'Aurevilly. The alluringly vulpine Villini is the Spanish mistress of Parisian roue Ryno de Marigny (striking newcomer Fu'ad Ait Aattouto) and the rude\, sensual...

SUMMARY:Mataharis
DESCRIPTION:Far from being a melodrama of spies\, gunplay and intrigue\, Mataharis explores relationships and ethics in the daily life of working women. The title's implied irony-that women are employed as detectives not because they are tough and resourceful like Philip Marlowe but rather because they are seductive and deceitful like Mata Hari-is only the first of the complexities of this engrossing drama. The...

SUMMARY:Children of the Sun
DESCRIPTION:Not everyone's home movies chart the rise and fall of a bona fide social movement\, but not everyone grew up on a kibbutz. In the early 20th century\, these cooperatives sprang up throughout what is today Israel to foster a utopian society based on absolute equality. Children born on the kibbutz\, unwitting subjects in a great experiment\, were charged with no less than delivering redemption to mankin...

SUMMARY:Shadows in the Palace
DESCRIPTION:Half lush historical drama\, half mind-bending detective story\, this elaborate murder mystery set during Korea's Chosun era is a tour de force of cinematic entertainment\, a non-stop thrill ride full of plot twists\, intrigue and power struggles\, screaming victims\, nail-biting escapes and gruesome acts of torture. And for those who want visual splendor with their thrillers\, the film delivers cascades...

SUMMARY:The Art of Negative Thinking
DESCRIPTION:Norwegian filmmaker Bard Breien offers a bracingly subversive take on the cult of positive thinking. Paralyzed and impotent after a car accident\, Geirr numbs his psychic pain by getting high\, watching violent movies to psychedelic rock songs and keeping his gun close by (just in case he decides to numb himself for good). Desperate to help Geirr and save their marriage\, his wife\, Ingvild\, invites o...

SUMMARY:Mongol
DESCRIPTION:Sergei Bodrov's historical epic about the pivotal early years of Genghis Khan measures the human qualities against the legend\, coming to a provocative conclusion. Namely\, you don't marshal disparate tribes and conquer more land than any warrior before or since by being a brute\, but rather by being a visionary and\, to some degree\, a mensch. Therein lies a tale arrestingly filmed on Mongolian steppe...

DESCRIPTION:In a near-future world not far different from today\, a young resident of a remote Mexican village named Memo Cruz (Luis Fernando Pena) taps into a security network where officials are discussing the problem of "Aqua Terrorism." The catastrophic fallout from this eavesdropping forces him to leave town for Tijuana\, where he joins an underground society of workers whose jobs are done virtually\, throu...

SUMMARY:La Zona
DESCRIPTION:Rodrigo's Pla's taut debut tackles some disturbing consequences of a widening gap between haves and have-nots in contemporary Mexican society. The titular zona\, a wealthy suburban gated community\, is fortress-like in its remove from the surrounding population. Its privatized\, ultra-high security measures-massive walls\, gates and barbed wire\, a legion of security guards\, surveillance cameras and pa...
