* RENDEZ-VOUS WITH FRENCH CINEMA 2012 > MARCH 1-11 > LINCOLN CENTER.
* Internationalist Cinema for Today > March 1-11 > ANTOLOGY FILM ARCHIVES > AFA.
This series pays tribute to a handful of still-undervalued internationalist filmmakers (René Vautier, Bruno Muel, Sarah Maldoror, Raymundo Gleyzer, Margaret Dickinson, Yolande du Luart, Masao Adachi via Philippe Grandrieux, Peter Whitehead) whose courage and generosity saved the honor of cinema in times of colonialism and the struggles for independence. It is also meant to honor some of the cinema’s present-day combatants (Frank Pineda, Florence Jaugey, John Gianvito, Laura Waddington, Florent Marcie, Edouard Beau, Olivier Dury, Paul Cronin…) who are renewing these ideals in different political contexts. “Within oneself, there are also the others” (Jean-Luc Godard, 1997).

Armando Alvarez (Will Ferrell) has lived and worked on his
father's ranch in Mexico his entire life. As the ranch faces financial
strains, Armando's younger brother Raúl (Diego Luna) shows up with his
new fiancée, Sonia (Genesis Rodríguez) and pledges to settle all his
father's debt. It seems that Raul's success as an international
businessman means the ranch's troubles are over, but when Armando falls
for Sonia, and Raul's business dealings turn out to be less than legit,
the Alvarez family finds themselves in a full-out war with Mexico's most
feared drug lord, the mighty Onza (Gael García Bernal).

CHICO & RITA
> De Fernando Trueba > Nominada al Oscar en la categoria de Animación >> En Cartelera > The Angelika.

Music and desire unite them as they chase their dreams and each other from Havana to New York to Paris, Hollywood and Las Vegas.

* Miss Bala. De Gerardo Naranjo. México >> En Cartelera > The Angelika.
Esta no es una película con una visión
romántica de México ni mucho menos una oda al narcoterrorismo. Al
contrario, como lo expresa Gerardo Naranjo en el video que pueden ver
debajo, MISS BALA busca presentar de manera más fidedigna lo que está
sucediendo en en país vecino en donde la violencia desatada sobre
ciudadanos indefensos aumenta cada día, ante la incapacidad (o
complicidad) del Estado para protegerlos.
Con largas tomas y sólidas actuaciones,
MISS BALA nos introduce a este mundo sórdido desde el punto de vista de
una jóven, Stephanie Sigman, con sueños de reina de belleza.
* The Artist. De Michel Hazanavicius .
Con Jean Dujardin y Berenice Bejo > 5 Oscars 2012 > En Cartelera >> The Angelika and BAMCinemas.
Hollywood, 1927: As silent movie star George Valentin wonders if the arrival of talking pictures will cause him to fade into oblivion, he sparks with Peppy Miller, a young dancer set for a big break.
* NEON FLESH. De Pablo Cabezas. España > En Cartelera.
Full of style and wild humor, NEON FLESH is a high-energy crime thriller centered around Ricky and the underground world that he lives in. His prostitute mother, Pura, abandoned him when he was 12. Now a young man, he wants to honor her by opening up a brothel when she is released from prison. For help he enlists a pimp, his junkie girlfriend, and a transsexual who believes that she's royalty, but when he finally picks Mom up from the hospital, he's disappointed to learn that she's underwhelmed with his gift. Worse, the location Ricky chose for the brothel encroaches on ruthless thug El Chino's domain.

MAS ESTRENOS:
* FOOTNOTE > Written and Directed by Joseph Cedar. Best Foreign Language Film Oscar Nominee. Winner of the Best Screenplay Prize at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival > Opens March 9 .
FOOTNOTE is the story of insane academic competition, the dichotomy between admiration and envy for a role model, and the very complicated relationship between a father and son.
* BLACK BUTTERFLIES. Directed by Paula Van Der Oest > Opens March 2 in NYC.
Poetry, politics, madness and desire collide in the story of the woman hailed as South Africa's Sylvia Plath. In 1960s Cape Town, as Apartheid steals the expressive rights of blacks and whites alike, young Ingrid Jonker (Carice van Houten, “A Game of Thrones”) finds her freedom scrawling verse while frittering through a series of stormy affairs. Amid escalating quarrels with her lovers and her rigid father, a parliament censorship minister (Rutger Hauer), the poet witnesses an unconscionable event that will alter the course of both her artistic and personal lives.

* DETACHMENT. Directed by
Tony Kaye (AMERICAN HISTORY X) >> Out March 16 in NYC > March 23 Los Angeles.
The long-awaited film DETACHMENT stars
Academy Award® winner Adrien Brody as Henry Barthes, a substitute
teacher who conveniently avoids any emotional connections by never
staying anywhere long enough to form a bond with either his students or
colleagues. A lost soul grappling with a troubled past, Henry finds
himself at a public school where an apathetic student body has created a
frustrated, burned-out administration. Inadvertently becoming a role
model to his students, while also bonding with a runaway teen who is
just as lost as he is, Henry finds that he’s not alone in a life and
death struggle to find beauty in a seemingly vicious and loveless
world.
Kaye
has molded a contemporary vision of people who become increasingly
distant from others while still feeling the need to connect. DETACHMENT
features a stellar ensemble cast, including Academy Award® winner Marcia
Gay Harden, Christina Hendricks, William Petersen, Bryan Cranston, Tim
Blake Nelson, Lucy Liu, Blythe Danner, James Caan, and newcomers Sami
Gayle and Betty Kaye.
