Dir. Talya Lavie
(In Hebrew with English subtitles)
Best friends Zohar and Daffi serve in an administration office at an
artillery base in the south of Israel. Since neither of them get along
with others, they practically spend all their time together—sharing
secrets, meals, and their passion for computer games. As storm
clouds gather over the south, Daffi wants to be transferred away
from the hated remote base and attempts the dream of being
relocated to Tel Aviv. Zohar on the other hand, doesn’t seem to care
where she’s stationed. Her main concern is to lose her virginity. She
is secretly in love with an officer but never dares walking up to him.
Terrified by the possibility of being left alone in the desolate base
without her best friend, Zohar will try to prevent Daffi from leaving.

Dir. Tommy Lee Jones
Well deserving of its many accolades, including the Cannes Jury
Prize, Xavier Dolan’s Mommy is a difficult, powerful foray into the
family life of a volatile teenage boy and his struggling single mother.
Anne Dorval and Antoine-Olivier Pilon are shattering as a mother
and son looking for moments of levity in their chaotic world. “[P]rizes
are irrelevant to a film of suffocating power and surprising warmth.
Stripping himself of his stylistic borrowings from other directors,
Dolan has found his own urgent voice and visual style. Mommy
doesn’t aim for classical grandeur. Instead, it bursts through the
screen with the rough vitality of real people, who love not wisely but
too well.” Time Magazine
Three women living on the edge of the American frontier are
driven mad by harsh pioneer life, and the task of saving them
falls to the pious, independent-minded Mary Bee Cuddy (Hilary
Swank). Transporting the women by covered wagon to Iowa, she
soon realizes just how daunting the journey will be and employs
a low-life drifter, George Briggs (Tommy Lee Jones), to join her.
The unlikely group heads east, where a waiting minister and his
wife (Meryl Streep) have offered to take the women in. But first
they must traverse the harsh Nebraska Territories marked by stark
beauty, psychological peril and constant threat. “…I wouldn’t call it
a western, even though there are certain things that it shares with
that genre, like horses, wagons and guns. But more importantly The
Homesman is really about the way in which we can be transformed.
What does it take to make a decent person? That’s the theme that
moved me the most.” Director Tommy Lee Jones

Aydin, a former actor, runs a small hotel in central Anatolia with his
young wife Nihal—with whom he has a stormy relationship—and
his sister Necla, who is suffering from her recent divorce. “A beast,
a beauty, a castle in the snow. Winter Sleep, the new film from the
Turkish master Nuri Bilge Ceylan, has all the key components of a
fairy tale, but its magic blows in whispering breaths, raising the hairs
on your arms even as you barely notice the air’s movement. This is
a bold, intently serious film, and a justified winner of the Palme d’Or
at this year’s Cannes Festival, in which we watch a failing marriage
unravel in a mountaintop hotel on the Anatolian steppe.” The
Telegraph
A modern masterpiece, Leviathan had its North American Premiere at
TIFF 2014, and won the Best Screenplay prize at Cannes 2014. Kolia
(Alexeï Serebriakov) owns an auto repair shop in a small fishing town
near the stunning Barents Sea in Northern Russia. The shop stands
right next to the house where he lives with his young wife Lilya (Elena
Liadova) and his son Roma (Sergueï Pokhodaev). When the town’s
corrupt mayor Vadim Shelevyat (Roman Madianov) threatens to take
away his business, his house, and his land, Kolia fights desperately
to save the beauty that has surrounded him since the day he was
born. “As in [Zvyagintsev’s] haunting debut, The Return, long takes
languidly capture the solemn beauty of the Russian landscape, but it’s
the slow crumpling of protagonist Nikolai (Aleksey Serebryakov), as
church, government and judiciary gang up to rob him of his most prized
possession, that will leave a longer, angrier impression. Not appearing
on Putin’s DVD shelf anytime soon.” Empire Magazine

Based on the book by Philip Roth, The Humbling premiered at
Toronto International Film Festival 2014, and stars legendary actor
Al Pacino as Simon Axler, legendary actor. Except he’s getting
on in age, troubled, fading, and forgetting. Axler’s remedies
include suicidal thoughts and an accidental offbeat affair with a
much younger girl Pegeen (Greta Gerwig), who may or may not
be a lesbian. “It’s Pacino’s game all the way. His grand theatrical
recitations, roller-coaster reactions and stirring reflectivity make his
loopy Simon, an unmade bed in desperate need of a month at a day
spa, one for the ages. Under Levinson’s direction, the Oscar-winning
actor and eight-time nominee is inventive, dizzying, profound and
often hilarious. His reaction after receiving a horse tranquilizer for
back pain is classic.” Los Angeles Times
Flaubert and comedy collide in the unassuming charm of Anne
Fontaine’s new film. Martin is an ex-Parisian literary hipster now the
baker in a picturesque Norman village. All that remains of his youthful
ambitions is a lively imagination and a passion for Gustave Flaubert.
Martin is positively giddy when an English couple named Gemma and
Charles Bovery move next door to him and he becomes convinced
they are Flaubert’s creations. Turning into a director of his beloved
classic, he intervenes in their lives to extreme comic effect. But it
seems the handsome Boverys next door never read Flaubert.

Two-time Academy Award nominee Jeremy Renner leads an
all-star cast in a dramatic thriller based on the remarkable true
story of American Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Gary Webb.
Webb stumbles onto a story which leads to the shady origins of
the men who started the crack epidemic on the nation’s streets.
Further alleging that the CIA was aware of major dealers who
were smuggling cocaine into the U.S., and using the profits to arm
rebels fighting in Nicaragua, Webb digs deeper, despite warnings
from drug kingpins and CIA operatives to stop. In 2004, the
investigative journalist was found dead with two gunshots to the
head. His death was ruled a suicide. Based on Nick Shou’s Kill the
Messenger: How the CIA’s Crack-cocaine Controversy Destroyed
Journalist Gary Webb. “Kill the Messenger flies high on the power
of Jeremy Renner’s all-stops-out performance as journalist Gary
Webb.” Rolling Stone
Stewart’s directorial debut is based on the memoir Then They
Came for Me: A Family’s Story of Love, Captivity, and Survival by
Iranian-born journalist Maziar Bahari. “London-based Newsweek
reporter Bahari (Gael Garcia Bernal) arrives in his native Iran
to cover the elections between hard-line incumbent Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad and moderate challenger Mir-Hossein Mousavi.
Bahari hires a driver (Dimitri Leonidas) and conducts interviews.
When Ahmadinejad is declared landslide winner, protesters
vehemently take to the streets. Soldiers massacre demonstrators.
Bahari documents the goings-on. Bahari is arrested and accused
of spying for the CIA, Mossad, and, that’s right, Newsweek. He is
placed in solitary and grilled and tortured by a bearded “specialist”
(Kim Bodnia).The interrogator points to Bahari’s “Daily Show”
appearance, which features Stewart associate Jason Jones in
obviously satirical mode, as an indicator of Bahari’s guilt, among
other ridiculousness. Eventually, a drained Bahari, unconvincingly,
reads a forced confession on TV. Efforts waged by his pregnant
wife (Claire Foy), Hillary Clinton and others lead to his release.”

decided to visit her daughter Suzanne in the big city. When
4 RPL FILM THEATRE GUIDE JANUARY / FEBRUARY 2015
Suzanne – whose relationship with her mother is already conflicted
– is too busy to spend time with her, she enlists friend Tru to
babysit Alice while she works. A commitment-phobic lesbian, Tru
forms an unlikely but deeply touching bond with Alice, helping
her to pick herself up and move on with her life and the possibility
of a relationship between the two sparks into life…Movies about
loss, about love, are all too common and it takes something
particularly special to truly standout within the genre. In capturing
the emotions of loss, love and acceptance so provocatively and
accurately – both in the script and the performances – Tru Love is
one of those rare standouts.” Raindance Film Festival

Dir. Lydia B. Smith
Six seekers embark on the 500-mile foot-trek of the ancient route
known as the Camino de Santiago, leading westward through
Spain to the city of Santiago de Compostela. Travelled by millions
for over a thousand years, the journey is arduous, breathtaking,
and life-transforming. “Smith, a well-seasoned producer and
cinematographer who walked the Camino herself in 2008, infuses
the film with an intrinsic appreciation of the tribulations involved,
making for an assured and charismatic feature documentary debut,
while demonstrating an abiding understanding for the aspirations of
travelers and a revelatory appreciation for Galicia’s varied landscapes.
This perceptive celebration of place, articulated in shots of sundappled rural vistas and ancient, robust settlements, also expresses
a distinctly Spanish appreciation that Smith shares for the nation’s
agrarian patrimony and its central position in the spiritual life of
European Christians.” Hollywood Reporter
Under the lure of the oil boom, tens of thousands of unemployed
flow into the town of Williston, North Dakota. Their dream? Honest
work and a big paycheck. What they find is the stark reality of
slim work prospects and nowhere to sleep. The town lacks the
infrastructure to house the overflow of migrants, even for those who
do find gainful employment. A modern-day Grapes of Wrath, awardwinning documentary The Overnighters engages and dramatizes
a set of universal societal and economic themes: the promise and
limits of re-invention, redemption and compassion, as well as the
tension between the moral imperative to “love thy neighbor” and
the resistance that one small community feels when confronted by a
surging river of desperate, job-seeking strangers.

we are their band,” says John Boggess, an associate professor of
gynecological oncology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel
Hill, who contributes vocals, guitar and harmonica. “They feel the

In this intimate documentary, filmmaker Gracie Otto introduces
us to a larger-than-life phenomenon, notorious London theatre
and film impresario, Michael White. Producing over 300 shows
and movies over the last 50 years, White brought to the stage
the risqué productions of Oh! Calcutta! and The Rocky Horror
Show; and to the screen, Monty Python’s The Holy Grail. He also
introduced Merce Cunningham, Pina Bausch and Yoko Ono to
London audiences. Playboy, gambler, bon vivant, friend of the
rich and famous, White irrevocably shaped the cultural scene of
1970s London. Featuring interviews with 50 of his closest friends,
including Anna Wintour, Kate Moss, John Waters and Barry
Humphries and, of course, the man himself, Otto pays a vibrant
tribute to a fascinating entertainer.

Ten years ago, the Kitagawa yakuza clan attacked the Muto
yakuza clan at Muto’s own home, only to have Muto’s wife fight
back. This unexpectedly left the Kitagawa clan in shambles, with
their top hitman Ikegmai wounded and Muto’s wife in prison.
Despite the carnage, the most unfortunate fallout from this attack
is when Muto’s beloved daughter, Mitsuko, has her adorable
toothpaste commercial taken off the air. “Master filmmaker Sion
Sono (Love Exposure; Cold Fish) describes his frenzied, gleeful
new masterpiece as ‘an action film about the love of 35mm.’
Based on a screenplay he wrote nearly fifteen years ago, Why
Don’t You Play In Hell? is among Sono’s very best work, as his
trademark excess and outrageousness is infused with an affection
for the previous century of Japanese cinema. Endlessly irreverent
and wildly, hilariously visceral, Why Don’t You Play In Hell? is a
Tarantino-esque ode to the yakuza films of yore, and features an
over-the-top, blood-soaked finale for the ages.” Drafthouse Films

SPECIAL EVENT:
BLACK HISTORY MONTH
Celebrate
BLACK HISTORY MONTH
The genesis of Black History Month dates back to 1926 when
“Negro History Week” was created in the second week of
February to celebrate the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and
Frederick Douglass. But undergirding this period of celebration is
a pedagogical goal: the teaching of black histories. This year I am
pleased to partner with the Regina Public Library Film Theatre to
bring two important films to Regina during Black History Month.
In The Stuart Hall Project, acclaimed Ghanaian filmmaker John
Akomfrah presents a compelling portrait of Stuart Hall, one of
the most important cultural studies theorists of our time while
Joel Karekezi’s The Pardon (Imbabazi) explores the Rwandan
genocide from the point of view of a killer dealing with the personal
consequences of his actions. Both films are simultaneously
engaging and informative and provide plenty of opportunity for
debate. Sheila Petty, Professor of Film Studies, University of Regina

Dir. Joel Karekezi
“A person’s culture is something that is often described as fixed
or defined and rooted in a particular region, nation, or state. Stuart
Hall, one of the most preeminent intellectuals on the Left in Britain,
updates this definition as he eloquently theorizes that cultural
identity is fluid—always morphing and stretching toward possibility
but also constantly experiencing nostalgia for a past that can never
be revisited. Filmmaker John Akomfrah uses the rich and complex
mood created by Miles Davis’s trumpet to root a masterful tapestry
of newly filmed material, archival imagery, excerpts from television
programs, home movies, and family photographs to create this
lyrical and emotionally powerful portrait of the life and philosophy of
this influential theorist.” Sundance Film Festival
After being imprisoned for the killing of ethnic Tutsis during
the Rwandan genocide, Mansi must face the emotional and
psychological consequences of his most personal crime: the
murder of his best friend’s family. Director Joel Karakezi, a Rwandan
genocide survivor, received a diploma certificate in film directing
from Cinecours. In 2009, he attended the Maisha Film Lab for
screenwriting. The Pardon won the Golden Impala Award at the
Amakula Film Festival in Uganda and won the 2010 award for Best
Short Film at the Silicon Valley African Film Festival.
