SUMMARY:THE OWNERS / VLASTNICI    (Czechia)
DESCRIPTION:Written and directed by Jiří Havelka\, based on his own award-winning stage play\, Vlastníci presents us with a curious cast of characters\, all of whom own apartments in the same block somewhere in Prague\, and charts their progress as they attempt to tolerate each others’ presence long enough to take some important decisions about the building’s future. The film took home three Czech Lions and two Czech Film Critics’ Awards\, and with fine performances from the leading cast\, sharp dialogue\, and painfully relevant political overtones\, it’s not difficult to see why. \nThe action all takes place in one room\, recalling Sidney Lumet’s 1957 classic 12 Angry Men – and these owners are certainly angry. Over the course of the film\, the tension that hangs close around the earliest scenes is released explosively\, as slight disagreements turn into raging arguments\, and no stone in any of the owners’ lives is left unturned as they seek to blame and criticize each other for sins past and present\, real and perceived. And like in Lumet’s film\, the fact that the characters can’t escape means that neither can the viewer. We are forced to live through the conflict along with the owners\, sharing their frustrations\, their fury\, and their offence (and it is very offensive at points)… \nAll this leaves space for some exceptional acting performances; Tereza Voříšková won and richly deserved both the Czech Lion and Critics’ Award for Best Actress\, in the role of the desperate and harried chair of the meeting\, and Jiří Lábus is satisfyingly authentic as the grumpy old naysayer\, recognizable from the end of the bar in any village pub in the Republic. \nIt’s billed as a comedy\, and it is certainly funny; the recurring punchlines\, circular dialogue\, and comical awkwardness fit naturally into the Czech surrealist theatre tradition. The choice of setting is also inspired\, as any apartment owner across the country will presumably recognize the tedious bureaucracy of these legally-mandated meetings. And both of these elements were evident in the cinema when I saw it\, the laughter not only of those who were amused but those who could relate. \nYet\, as will no doubt be familiar to anyone who has seen their share of Czech “comedies”\, there is something deeper going on here. Beneath the dry wit and jaded\, world-weary cynicism\, and even before we reach the obligatory bittersweet\, tragicomic ending\, there is some profound allegory at work in Vlastníci\, familiar from the brave and subversive Czech comedies of the 1960s\, by which\, with a choice phrase here\, a verbal nod-and-a-wink there\, Havelka holds a mirror up to Czech society… and doesn’t reflect its best side. \nGenre:  Comedy\nRun time:  96 min\nCountry:  Czech Republic\, Slovakia\nLanguage:  Czech with English subtitles\nPremiere:  U.S.\nDirector: Jiří Havelka\nPrincipal Cast:  Krystof Hadek\, Stanislav Majer\, Andrej Polak\, Vojtech Kotek\nDistributor:  Big World Pictures\nTrailer:  https://vimeo.com/819997004

SUMMARY:CHILDREN OF NOBODY  (Israel)
DESCRIPTION:I \nIn the heart of Tel-Aviv’s Neve Tzedek neighborhood stands an old house that operates as a shelter for youth from broken homes.  Living on the fringes of Israeli society\, troubled boys must band together to save the shelter for at-risk youth that has kept them off the streets. For generations\, altruistic surrogate mother\, Margalit (Tiki Dayan)\, provided loving refuge to victims of neglect and violence in a shabby house on Tel Aviv’s outskirts. When tragedy strikes\, it’s up to right-hand man Jackie (Roy Assaf) to keep the home from corrupt property developers\, and assuage a social worker’s scrutiny. With tough love from “big brother” Jackie\, the young men must now be accountable for their own lives\, and save their refuge from a dire fate. Inspired by a true story\, this compassionate drama gives voice to those on the periphery\, often unnoticed and uncared for. \nGenre:  Drama\nRun time:  108 min\nCountry:  Israel\nLanguage:  Hebrew\nPremiere:  Sneak Preview (Ahead of its US premiere)\nDirector: Erez Tadmor\nWriters: Roy Assaf\, Erez Tadmor\nProducers;  Aviv Ben Shlush | Leon Edery | Moshe Edery | Shemi Shoenfeld \nComposer ;  Haim Frank Ilfman\nCinematographer:   Amit Yasur\nPrincipal Cast:  Roy Assaf\, Tiki Dayan\, Yaacov Cohen\, Ornella Bess\nDistributor:  Go2Films\nTrailer:  https://go2films.com/films/children-of-nobody/

SUMMARY:A FAMILY FOR 1640 DAYS  (France)
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by his own family history\, Fabien Gorgeart‘s heartfelt\, heartbreaking second feature focuses on an excruciating period of transition in one family’s life.  Anna\, her husband and their two young sons are told they must gradually\, definitively\, hand 6-year-old Simon — the foster child they’ve raised since he was 18 months old — over to his “real” father.  Powerless before a social services system that seems to take all factors into consideration\, yet remains oblivious to the powerful emotional ties that inevitably form between abandoned children and their caregivers\, they have no choice but to acquiesce and allow that bond to be unceremoniously torn apart.  Mélanie Thierry\, as Anna\, is the very heart of the film.  Her rich\, complex\, finely-calibrated performance expresses all the anguish and conflicted feelings her entire family is silently contending with in this plaintive ode to mother love. \nThe film won both the Jury Prize and a Best Actress Award for Mélanie Thierry at the Angoulême Francophone Film Festival.  Thierry was also honored with the Best Performance Award at the Namur International Festival of French Film. \nGenrre:  Drama\nRun time:  102 inin\nCountry:  France\nLanguage:  French w/English subtitles\nPremiere:  Palm Springs\nDirector:: Fabien Gorgeart\nWriter:: Fabien Gorgeart\nProducers:  Marie Dubas (Deuxième Ligne Films)\, Jean des Forêts & Amélie Jacquis (Petit Film)\nCinematographer:: Julien Hirsch\nFilm Editor:: Damien Maestraggi\nOriginal Score: Gabriel des Forêts\nPrincipal Cast: Mélanie Thierry (Anna)\, Lyès Salem (Driss)\, Félix Moati (Eddy Carniero)\, Gabriel Pavie (Simon)\, Idriss Laurentin-Khelifi (Adrien)\, Basile Violette (Jules)\, Florence Muller (Nabila)\, Dominique Blanc (the judge)\nU.S. Distributor: Distrib Films U.S. \n  \n

SUMMARY:THE NIGHT OF THE 12TH / La Nuit du 12  (France/Belgium)
DESCRIPTION:  \n \n\n\nJust won six 2023 César Awards\, including France’s ‘Best Picture’ & ‘Best Actors’ \nIn nearly every police precinct\, detectives are inevitably confronted with a case that\, for one reason or another\, goes unsolved. The more heinous the crime\, the more it haunts those tasked to solve it. Such is the case for Yohan Vivès—a young\, recently promoted police Captain—when he begins investigating the murder of a young women named Clara in the town of Grenoble. Vivés’ team methodically dig through the details of Clara’s life. Several suspicious ex-boyfriends are questioned\, but neither solid evidence nor a confession manifest. As the mystery behind Clara’s upsetting death deepens\, a frustrated Vivés is forced to reflect on society’s prejudices against female victims—as well as his own. \nA box-office sensation in France and winner of six 2023 Cesar Awards including best film & best actors.  Based on Pauline Guéna’s non-fiction book\, 18.3 – Une année à la PJ\, Dominik Moll’s Cannes-selected seventh feature is a gritty procedural in the vein of David Fincher’s Mindhunter and Zodiac. With a critical eye cast specifically on the male-dominated world of law enforcement and how investigations of violent crimes committed against women are conducted\, The Night of the 12th is “both highly effective and brilliantly acted\, where procedures and mindsets reveal a frayed society\,” (Cineuropa). \n\n\n\n\nGenre:  Crime\, Mystery\, Thriller\nRun Time:  115 min\nCountry:  Belgium & France\nLanguage:  French\nPremiere:  Palm Springs\nDirector: Dominik Moll\n\n\n\nWriters:  Pauline Guéna (book ‘18.3 – Une année à la PJ’) | Gilles Marchand (screenplay) | Dominik Moll (screenplay)\n\n\n\n\nPrincipal Cast: Bastien Bouillon\, Bouli Lanners\, Anouk Grinberg\, Mouna Soualem\, Pauline Serieys\n\nBased on the Novel by: Pauline Guéna
