Smart young Ludovic is the delight of his upwardly-mobile middle-class parents--until he becomes convinced he's a girl trapped in a boy's body, that is. His outward expressions of identity, which include wearing dresses and starring in a classroom performance of Snow White, put a strain on the family unit but seem absolutely natural to him. Cutting comedy from first-time director Berliner, who balances commentary on gender roles with an honest sense of childhood whimsy. An international festival smash, and the recipient of the Best Foreign Film Golden Globe.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseAnamorphic WidescreenAudio: Dolby Digital Surround - French Subtitles - English, French, Spanish - OptionalInteractive Features: Interactive Menus Scene SelectionsText/Photo Galleries: Production Notes

A suicidal woman meets up with an insurance agent whose failed attempts at literature are among the factors leading him to a mid-life crisis.
The unlikely pair go out for dinner where the truth rules outthat the woman's suicide attempt was a stunt to attract customers. Stunned by her story, the man offers his new friend a lump sum in exchange for her story, the perfect material for a novel.Eliseo Subiela (MAN FACING SOUTHEAST) has specialized in unusual works, and this work of magical realism could be the most outrageous film of the Argentine director's career. Actor Lorenzo Quinteros in the lead role is a perfect allegory for Subiela himself, as he takes brutal realism and turns it into something fantastical.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Audio: Dolby Digital Mono - SpanishAdditional Release Material: Trailers - 1.

Hou Hsiao-Hsien, one of China`s greatest filmmakers, honors the memory of the great Yasujiro Ozu in the beautiful CAFI LUMIERE. Like Ozu, Hou tries to capture honesty and reality in the film, which stars pop idol Yo Hitoto as Yoko, a young woman who makes her way through life almost casually, not letting anything get her too upset or too excited. She regularly visits Hajime (Tadanobu Asano) at his small bookstore, where he orders books and CDs especially for her; she has a particular interest in the Chinese composer Jiang Ewn-Ye. She returns home to visit her stepmother (Kimiko Yo) and father (Nenji Kobayashi), who care about her and love her but never take interest in her life. In fact, the characters in the film prefer superficial relationships, that may have some meaning but are not very deep.
Yoko seems happiest, or at least most at home, when she`s on a train, heading somewhere else; she`s never quite content in the moment itself. Hou`s film is gorgeous to watch, with long, well-framed shots featuring natural sound and lighting. The story plays out slowly, mimicking real life, with little artifice. There are no big crescendos or dirty secrets unfolding, just a charming, compelling tale about everyday characters doing everyday things.This film was included in the 42nd New York Film Festival organized by the Film Society of Lincoln Center.
