The CUT Screens in Los Angeles

American Cinematheque presents Fatih Akin's The CUT

Thursday, May 21 at 7:30 pm - Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood



 
A genuine, hand-made epic, of the type that people just don’t make anymore … that has great intensity, beauty and sweeping grandeur.” - Martin Scorsese
 
 
THE CUT  
Directed by Fatih Akin
Starring: Tahar Rahim, Simon Abkarian, Makram Khoury   
2014, Strand Releasing, 138 min
                
This powerful drama centers on Nazaret Manoogian (Tahar Rahim), a blacksmith who crosses continents in search of his two daughters after his family is shattered by the 1915 Armenian Genocide. Playing a character who survives a throat slashing, Rahim’s performance is largely wordless but deeply moving.



Mardin, 1915: one night, the Turkish police round up all the Armenian men in the city, including the young blacksmith, Nazaret Manoogian, who is separated from his family. Years later, after managing to survive the horrors of the genocide, he hears that his two daughters are also still alive. He becomes fixated on the idea of finding them and sets off to track them down. His search takes him from the Mesopotamian deserts and Havana to the barren and desolate prairies of North Dakota. On this odyssey, he encounters a range of very different people: angelic and kind-hearted characters, but also the devil incarnate.

Ariel Nominations 2015

57th Ariel Awards Nominations - Mexico's Academy Awards

 
 
 
The Ariel is the Mexican Academy Award. It has been awarded annually since 1947. It is considered the most prestigious award in the Mexican movie industry. The statuette is in the image of a man and was designed by the sculptor Ignacio Asúnsolo. The original statuette is currently found inside Churubusco Studios in Mexico City. The name "Ariel" was inspired by a series of short writings called El Ariel by Uruguayan writer José Enrique Rodó that inspired generations of young Latin Americans in the first decades of the 20th century.

Casa Grande opens in Brazil

Highly recommended Brazilian film Casa Grande, after touring the film festival circuits around the world, finally opens in Brazil on April 16th, 2015.
 
Audience Award winner Best Film at Festival do Rio 2014

★★★★ "One of the very best Brazilian films ever made in the last decade."
-- Georges Aintablian


Brazil - 2014 - 117 min - Portuguese
Directed by: Fellipe Barbosa
Cast:
Thales Cavalcanti, Marcello Novaes, Suzana Pires, Alice Melo, Bruna Amaya, Clarissa Pinheiro
 
 
 
 Seventeen years old Jean is growing up in the elite district of Rio, with its private schools, drivers and housekeepers. While he tries to escape from his over-protective parents, they keep their approaching bankruptcy secret. This beautifully shot and naturally played coming-of-age film provides a clear picture of class differences and racism in Brazil. Casa Grande is Fellipe Barbosa's feature film debut following his documentary film Laura in 2011.
