Together: 1975 Sweden. Tired of her abusive husband Elisabeth packs her bags and moves with her children to her brother's commune 'Together'. As a fairly ordinary housewife from the suburbs the commune's freewheeling attitudes towards sex and politics will open Elisabeth's eyes and change her family's life forever. Together is a film about people trying to live together. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. It's about love and divorce and happiness and unhappiness and children and adults and ABBA and sex and football. (Dir. Lukas Moodysson Swedish 2000)... Dear Wendy: One shot is all it takes..... Dick a loner living in a poor US mining town happens upon a small antique handgun and finds himself strangely drawn to it. He convinces other young outcasts to join him in a secret club he calls 'The Dandies'.

But they soon find themselves in a predicament where they realise that rules are made to be broken... (Dir. Thomas Vinterberg 2005) Vodka Lemon: In the tiny Kurdish village of Caucasus lives widowed army veteran Hamo. A few precious comforts - an old armoire an archaic television set his old uniform and a seven dollar monthly pension - keep him company until some long-awaited correspondence (and more pressingly money) reaches his remote village from his son who has begun a new life in Paris. Each day Hamo wakes to the rabble of eccentric villagers before making the long bus journey through the snow to an isolated cemetary and the grave of his beloved wife. Each day he brushes the fresh snow from her grave. Each day he spies on Nina an attractive widow taking a few contemplative hours out from her lowly job on a roadside lemon vodka stall. With the sporadic letters from his son yielding little in the way of comfort or money Hamo's thoughts turn to his burgeoning friendship with the beguiling Nina on the silent empty bus journey from the village to the cemetary and back... The multi-award winning 'Vodka Lemon' a surreal love story in the style of independent icons Aki Kaurismaki and Emir Kustrica is a captivating tale of quiet simple pleasures and the effect they have on the delightful town and its vibrant inhabitants. Official selection of the 2003 Toronto International Film Festival and winner of the San Marco prize at the 2004 Venice International Film Festival. (Dir. Hiner Saleem 2003) [show more]
