Meet Bonnie and Clyde, two young lovers who just happen to be criminals in a roving gang that will kill anyone who gets in their way! Based on the true life story of Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker’s violent bank robbing spree in the early 1930’s, Arthur Penn’s Bonnie and Clyde is a more romanticized account of the string of robberies and subsequent newspaper headlines following these two archetypal lovers to their bitter end. With its trendsetting fashions, dangerously gorgeous stars and ample mix of sex and violence, the film is regarded as one of the first in the New Hollywood era and an enduring classic.
MOOD INDIGO is Michel Gondry’s love story about a woman suffering from an unusual illness caused by a flower growing in her lungs.
The surreal and poetic tale of Colin, an idealistic and inventive young man and Chloé, a young woman who seems like the physical embodiment of the eponymous Duke Ellington tune. Their idyllic marriage is turned on its head when Chloé falls sick with a water lily growing in her lung. To pay for her medical bills in this fantasy version of Paris, Colin must go out to work in a series of increasingly absurd jobs, while around them, their apartment disintegrates and their friends, including the talented Nicolas, and Chick – a huge fan of the philosopher Jean-Sol Partre – go to pieces.
Richard Linklater’s acclaimed film BOYHOOD!
Filmed over twelve years with the same cast, Richard Linklater’s Boyhood is a groundbreaking story of growing up as seen through the eyes of a child named Mason (a breakthrough performance by Eli Coltrane), who literally grows up on screen before our eyes. Starring Ethan Hawke and Patricia Arquette as Mason’s parents and newcomer Lorelei Linklater as his sister Samantha, Boyhood charts the rocky terrain of childhood like no other film has before. Snapshots of adolescence from road trips and family dinners to birthdays and graduations and all the moments in between become transcendent, set to a soundtrack spanning the years from Coldplay’s Yellow to Arcade Fire’s Deep Blue. Boyhood is both a nostalgic time capsule of the recent past and an ode to growing up and parenting.
