Jean-Marc Vallee (C.R.A.Z.Y.) returns to French-language filmmaking with this powerful and unconventional love story that weaves together two disparate narratives tied together by time, to create a tale of emotion and destiny.

The stories center on a 1969 Parisian mother (Vanessa Paradis) of a young boy with Down syndrome who loves a classmate, and a successful DJ (Kevin Parent) who is going through an emotional divorce in present-day Montreal.

A multilayered film that keeps you on your toes finding the clues to the mystery. Top rating with the critics and audiences alike.

Another great Canadian film - to warm you up for the CANADIAN FLIKS FEST!

14A for sexuality, drug use.

Once Upon A Time In Anatolia

Wednesday Feb 22, 2012 - The Capitol 7:30pm - Nelson

A ravishingly atmospheric new Turkish film about the entanglement of life's big-ticket dramas with the red tape that comes with getting through the day.

In the desolate Anatolia region of Turkey, a police commissioner, a prosecutor, and a doctor drive through the serpentine roads and rolling hills of the countryside with a killer to find teh body of the man he killed and buried.

The suspect, who claims he was drunk, can't remember where he buried the body. The officials are quiet, or make small talk about food, work, marriage, the countryside. As the night draws on, details about the murder emerge and the investigators' own secrets and hypocrisies come to light. In the Anatolian steppes, nothing is what it seems; and when the body is found, the real questions begin.

This is the slow drip-drip-drip of modern life, where every time you think you’ve plotted a swift, straight course, human error and dusty bureaucracy slow it down and throw it off. By the time the men stop for a meal in the village that's home to the suspect and the dead man, just about everyone is starting to unravel. Thee presence of the village elder's beautiful daughter nor the hair-raisingly rocky performance of an autopsy help to calm the waters.

Ceylan is illuminating not just a crime here, but a culture, and that the men provide a cross-section of Turkish society – from workers to professionals, from the devout to the secular – only underlines its portrait of a confused nation.

The quiet pace and circuitous plot of this film heightens the beauty of the countryside and deepens the emotional impact. Stay with it... its an amazing piece of work. Running Time 150 minutes. 18A - adult subject matter and violence and a bit grisly (though it is mostly all offscreen).

Grand Prix Winner at last year's Cannes Film Festival

tamara's horses

And just 'cause its my website, here's a picture of my horses. Anyone out there want to help me turn them into wonderful riding horses? They are both 'broke'. The appaloosa needs some time in the saddle and the paint needs work. Both have good ground manners. All thoughts considered cause I can't keep doing nothing with them...BUCK, you out there?

BUCK

Is finished screening in the area, but if there is real demand, we'll bring it back to the big screen. Just send us an email if you want to see it again.

“'You don't have to be a horse nut to fall for "Buck," one of those rare documentaries whose subject is so inherently fascinating that a fictional character could hardly compete.”- Washington Post

“Your horse is a mirror to your soul, and sometimes you may not like what you see. Sometimes, you will.” So says Buck Brannaman, a true American cowboy and sage on horseback who travels the country for nine grueling months a year helping horses with people problems.

BUCK, a richly textured and visually stunning film, follows Brannaman from his abusive childhood to his phenomenally successful approach to horses. A real-life “horse-whisperer”, he eschews the violence of his upbringing and teaches people to communicate with their horses through leadership and sensitivity, not punishment.

Buck possesses near magical abilities as he dramatically transforms horses – and people – with his understanding, compassion and respect. In this film, the animal-human relationship becomes a metaphor for facing the daily challenges of life. A truly American story about an unsung hero, BUCK is about an ordinary man who has made an extraordinary life despite tremendous odds.
