Claude Lelouch, 1966
102 minutes; French with English subtitles
“Style is everything in Lelouch's romantic melodrama, one of the 1960s most popular international hits, due to the music and chemistry between the glamorous Anouk Aimée and the sexy Trintignant, both at their peak.” —Emanuel Levy
After an accidental meeting a widow (Anouk Aimée) and widower (Jean-Louis Trintignant) find their relationship developing into love, though their past tragedies are difficult to overcome.
“Even my curating was basically a form of writing in my mind. . . . Each art object is a sentence, a room is a paragraph, six rooms is an essay.” —Helen Molesworth, quoted in Robin Pogrebin, “A Curator Unbound,” The New York Times
Richard Curtis, 2009
R; 117 minutes
In 1966, BBC radio broadcasts less than an hour of pop music a day, forcing pirate DJs to take up the slack from boats anchored outside British waters. Quentin (Bill Nighy) is the commander of such a pirate station, overseeing a host of seedy, lusty, and dope-smoking DJs, including the Count (Philip Seymour Hoffman) and Dave (Nick Frost), who makes it his personal mission to see to it that Quentin's newly arrived godson (Tom Sturridge) loses his virginity.
Jean-Pierre Jeunet's modern-day fairytale Amélie (2001), re-released by Sony Pictures, quickly made the eponymous Parisian waitress a cultural icon. The film launched the career of Audrey Tautou, who portrays Amélie Poulain as a Nutella-eyed innocent with puckish charm in this award-winning whimsical romance.
R; 121 minutes; French with English subtitles
“The kind of ravishing, rousing epic we don’t really get much of anymore.” —Bilge Ebiri, New York Magazine/Vulture
In 1755, poor soldier Ludvig Kahlen (Mads Mikkelsen) arrives on the barren Jutland moors with a single goal: to follow the king’s call to cultivate the land and gain wealth and honor for himself. However, ruthless landowner Frederik De Schinkel (Simon Bennebjerg) believes the moor belongs to him.
127 minutes; German with English subtitles
“The Teachers’ Lounge is a pulse-pounding exploration of the ways we draw lines between enemies and friends, and the courage it takes to blur them.” —Sheri Linden, Hollywood Reporter

A young boy yearning for his mother ventures into a world shared by the living and the dead. There, death comes to an end, and life finds a new beginning. From the mind of Hayao Miyazaki comes this semi-autobiographical fantasy about life, death, and creation, in tribute to friendship.
