White Material

Isabelle Huppert, one of France's best actresses, joins forces with Claire Denis (35 Shots of Rum) one of France's best female directors, to bring us perhaps one of the most remarkable films. A coffee plantation owner who against all odds bravely refuses to leave before the harvest. This is all happening the middle of chaos, advancing militia and gratuitous violence. Meanwhile, her husband (Christophe Lambert) cuts a deal with the local mayor, her layabout son goes crazy and a wounded rebel soldier (Isaach De Bankole) seeks refuge in her house from the resurgent army.

Not to be missed.

Heartbreaker

Out now

Two of French cinema's brightest things team up in this delightful comedy about life, love and breakups, which earned an astonishing 10 million Euros at the French box office in just 10 days. Romain Duris (THE BEAT THAT MY HEART SKIPPED) and Vanessa Paradis (GIRL ON THE BRIDGE) play fools for love when an indecent business opportunity sees their paths cross. Sibling business partners Alex (Romain Duris) and Mélanie (Julie Ferrier) earn a living orchestrating the separation of couples whose spark has fizzled out.
