FILMS SHOWING Friday July 17 to Thursday July 23
14A

"Breathes life into a classic story... a must for lovers of period drama and stunning visuals." Based on the novel by Gustave Flaubert.

"Sophia Barthes’ Madame Bovary is a beautiful period adaptation of Gustav Flaubert’s novel that deals with its complicated heroine in a way that is both understanding and honest. The cinematography truly stands out as the star, making this film into a visual delight.

"If Monty Python had been founded by dour Swedes, then the troupe's 'Meaning of Life' might have resembled 'A Pigeon'." - National Post

“Roy Andersson, a Swedish director with a style totally unlike anyone else’s, has the mind of a museum curator. Each of his shots— static, meticulously arranged, with both foreground and background space usually in sharp focus—operates like its own exhibit, inviting eyes to wander from corner to corner.

Two couples engage in some after-hours shenanigans in this hilarious indie sex comedy

"Indecently hot and hilarious sex comedies are so rare these days. Writer-director Patrick Brice has lucked out with quartet of playfully scrappy actors who couldn't be better suited to their roles or more eager to rouse our prurient interest. I had the best time.

No screenings currently scheduled.

PG

"One of those clever, energetic, inventive, affecting films that end up becoming the favourite movie of a great many people." - Film Comment

"This film isn't just good, it's amazing. This isn't just a kid-with-cancer movie for film nerds, this is a sublime love letter to the Criterion collection, and the best riff on Harold and Maude since Rushmore.

No screenings currently scheduled.

"The best date-night picture of the year." (New York Daily News)

“'I’ll See You in My Dreams' checks all the boxes. It’s smart, funny and lasts an hour and a half.

"The movie is by turns a romance, a chick flick, a coming-of-age film and even a stoner movie. There’s something for everyone, with the possible exception of cretins who don’t appreciate great writing, casting, directing and especially acting.

No screenings currently scheduled.

PG

'Testament of Youth' is based on Vera Brittain's deeply felt 1933 memoir of her WWI experiences. "From first to last it sweeps you away." Kenneth Turan, LA Times

Now at the Twin! “As the inexperienced protagonist of Testament of Youth, Vera Brittain’s memoir about coming of age during World War I, Swedish actress Alicia Vikander taps great reservoirs of resolve and vulnerability. She positively smolders in the role, capturing both Vera’s innocence and her headstrong will.

No screenings currently scheduled.

PG

Hal Ashby's eccentric dark comedy. A classic of early 70s American cinema, with a superlative Cat Stevens' soundtrack.

“To call Harold (Bud Cort) a strange and troubled soul would be an understatement. He’s faked his own gruesome death more than a dozen times and spends his spare time hanging out at strangers’ funerals. Maude (Ruth Gordon) is a free-spirit entering the twilight of her life.

No screenings currently scheduled.

"'Dope' is the bomb." (Washington Post)

"Writer/director Rick Famuyiwa shakes up the teen comedy formula and in the process has made one exciting and adventurous film. Dope might use a similar 'Risky Business' setup -- a geeky high school senior unwittingly learns harsh lessons about life after landing in big trouble -- but that's where the similarities end.

No screenings currently scheduled.

"It’s a refreshing surprise to find Love & Mercy, a story about the pop icon Brian Wilson from two ends of his life, break the mold and even invigorate the form.” LA Times

Love & Mercy, the bizarre story of Beach Boy Brian Wilson, is one of the most touching — and gripping — biopics you will ever see.

No screenings currently scheduled.

Back by popular demand! "An important record of a significant figure in Canadian cycling." Top 10 at Hot Docs!

“Giuseppe Marinoni is a revered bicycle craftsman whose frames are highly admired and desired. When he’s not in his workshop, he’s likely feeding his chickens, tending his tomatoes or foraging for mushrooms. It’s clear this tailor turned cyclist is happy alone and sees no point in someone documenting his life.
