In the new French romantic comedy, Audrey Tautou (Amélie) plays Nathalie, a beautiful, happy, and successful Parisian business executive who finds herself suddenly widowed after a three-year marriage to her soul mate. To cope with her loss, she buries herself and her emotions in her work, much to the dismay of her friends, family, and co-workers. One day, inexplicably, her zest for life and love is rekindled by a most unlikely source, her seemingly unexceptional, gauche, and average-looking office subordinate, Markus (French comic star François Damiens, Heartbreaker). At first stunned by Nathalie's unexpected attention, Markus comes to gradually believe in her feelings and shifts into romantic high gear. As their relationship goes from awkward to genuinely loving, Nathalie and Markus will have to overcome a host of obstacles including everyone else's judgmental perceptions as well as their own self-doubts. In French with subtitles. (PG13, 108 mins)
Writer/director Terence Davies, master chronicler of post-War England, returns with a timeless romantic drama starring Rachel Weisz as a woman whose overpowering love threatens her well-being and alienates the men in her life. In a deeply vulnerable performance, Weisz plays Hester Collyer, the wife of an upper-class judge (Simon Russell Beale) and a free spirit trapped in a passionless marriage. Her encounter with Freddie Page (Tom Hiddleston), a troubled former Royal Air Force pilot, throws her life in turmoil, as their erotic relationship leaves her emotionally stranded and physically isolated. Based on Terence Rattigan's play of the same name, The Deep Blue Sea is an uncompromising study of the fear of loneliness and the frustratingly unreliable nature of love. (R, 98 mins)
From acclaimed director Agnieszka Holland (The Secret Garden, Europa Europa) comes this Academy Award nominee for Best Foreign Film. The drama is based on the true story of Leopold Socha, a sewer worker and petty thief in Lvov, a Nazi occupied city in Poland, who one day encounters a group of Jews trying to escape the liquidation of the ghetto. He hides them for money in the labyrinth of the town's sewers beneath the bustling activity of the city above. What starts out as a straightforward and cynical business arrangement turns into something very unexpected: the unlikely alliance between Socha and the Jews as the enterprise seeps deeper into Socha's conscience. The film is also an extraordinary story of survival as these men, women, and children try to outwit certain death during 14 months of ever increasing and intense danger. Subtitled. (R, 145 mins)
Directed by John Madden (The Debt, Shakespeare in Love, Mrs. Brown), this witty comedy-drama is about a group of British retirees (Judi Dench, Bill Nighy, Tom Wilkinson, Maggie Smith) who decide to "outsource" their retirement to less expensive and seemingly exotic India. Enticed by advertisements for the newly restored Marigold Hotel and bolstered with visions of a life of leisure, they arrive to find the place a shell of its former self. Though the new environment is less luxurious than imagined, they are gradually won over by the ever-optimistic young manager (Dev Patel, the star of Slumdog Millionaire) and forever transformed by their shared experiences, discovering that life and love can begin again when you let go of the past. (PG13, 124 mins)
