By Chlotrudis Independent Film Society
Rating: 4.5 cats
Director: Alexander Voulgaris
Starring: Alexander Voulgaris | Argiris Thanasoulas | Christina Mathea | Romanna Lobats

Bruce says: “There are many things to like about PINK. PINK is a meditation on personal history, love, loss and creativity. It unconventionally wanders between fantasy and reality. Using a clay model of Athens to tell his story director Voulgaris

Persepolis (2007)

Jason says: “In recent years, Persepolis has been sliding into the spot that Maus used to occupy: The socially-relevant graphic novel that makes inroads into the mainstream and is used as an example of how the medium is good for

Paris, Je T’aime (2007)

Bruce says: “Twenty two directors join together for twenty short stories about love, each set in a different arrondissmont in Paris. The directors approach love from different angles. Some are dead serious, some bittersweet and others, quite amusing. By the

Lust, Caution (2007)

By Chlotrudis Independent Film Society
Rating: 4.5 cats
Director: Ang Lee

Fräulein (2007)

By Chlotrudis Independent Film Society
Rating: 4.5 cats
Director: Andrea Staka
Starring: Ljubica Jovic | Marija Skaricic | Mirjana Karanovic

Bruce says: “This lovely, haunting film is first rate independent fare – wonderful characters, an offbeat story, and an ending that is enigmatic. Ruza came to Switzerland from Yugoslavia thirty years ago and has determinedly set about to find a

By Chlotrudis Independent Film Society
Rating: 4.5 cats
Director: Anne Sundberg | Ricki Stern

The Dead Girl (2007)

Michael says: “With an outstanding cast and a handful of Independent Spirit Award nominations (including Best Director, Best Feature, and Best Supporting Actress), I would have thought that Karen MoNcrieff’s somber, powerful film, THE DEAD GIRL, would have had better
