 Wednesday, 15th September 2010 |  | | Father of My Children "12A" (France/Germany,2009) Set in Paris, this Cannes prize-winner inspired by the life of the late Humbert Balsan is a revealing portrait of a film producer seeking to sustain his family life while struggling to make films of artistic merit.
"Deeply thoughtful and intelligent... a marvel" - Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian. |  Wednesday, 29th September 2010 |  | | THE WHITE RIBBON "15" (Germany/Austria etc. 2009, ) Another Cannes prize-winner, this is Michael Haneke’s absorbing portrayal of life in a German village in 1913 with dark undertones which suggest that subsequently the ideas of the Nazis would find in human nature a rich soil.
“The best film of Haneke’s career *****” – Daily Telegraph. “Spellbinding” – Philip French, The Observer.
|  Friday, 15th October 2010 |  | | SOUNDS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT "12A" (UK/Cayman Islands, 2008.) By observing teenagers of various nationalities participating in a singing competition, Jamie J. Johnson has come up with the most uplifting film to have appeared in recent times.
“Highly enjoyable” – Evening Standard. “Johnson has struck gold****” – Daily Telegraph.
|  Wednesday, 3rd November 2010 |  | | CLOUD 9 "15"(Germany, 2008) Some of the best acting of the last year or so is to be found in this drama of a dutiful married woman startled to find a new love late in life. It’s sexually frank and morally sensitive.
“Tender, truthful and acted with great sensitivity” – Derek Malcolm, Evening Standard.
|  Wednesday, 17th November 2010 |  | | TULPAN "12A" (Kazakhstan/Germany etc., 2008, ). Life on the steppes of Kazakhstan is portrayed in all its starkness and beauty in this award-winning feature which contains both humour and sadness and one particular sequence that is truly unforgettable.
