A Separation Trailer
A SEPARATION (Iran) PG(older) 123 mins. Ashjar Farhadi’s Oscar, Golden Bear, Cesar, GG…. winning human drama of a married couple are faced with a difficult decision - to improve the life of their child by moving to another country or to stay in Iran and look after a deteriorating parent who has Alzheimer's disease. “This exquisite film begins slowly but soon grabs you by the throat as it explores the fine line between truth, honesty, loyalty and justice. The performances are all excellent. It’s a wonderful film.” Margaret , ATM, ABC
MARGARET: I love the little insights, going to the petrol station, he makes her go get the change from the attendant because he didn’t actually fill the tank, it’s such a little insight in his character. These insights into the legal system in Iran, which are so interesting and textured because it is a completely different system from ours. But aiming at the same thing, aiming at ultimate justice. I just, I love this film, I love… really love it. I’m giving it five stars, it’s rare for me, but I just embraced it so wholeheartedly.
DAVID: I’m going to join you and embrace it too. I’m giving it five stars, it’s a wonderful film.

Port Fairy Winter Week Ends presents: CHOCOLAT 7.30PM Friday 6 July
“Juliette Binoche lights up the screen with her genuine warmth; her beauty and vivacity are hypnotic. …..she delights in her knack for knowing everyone's needs and wants. Everyone is excellent – Judi Dench, Lena Olin, Alfred Molina, Carrie-Anne Moss, and what a treat it is to see Leslie Caron back onscreen. Johnny Depp is cool and oh so hot as the riverboat traveller. It's bewitching, it's hypnotic, it's fantasy to satisfy every whim. Delicious in every way, torturing you with pleasure, Chocolat is a treat – a whimsical uplifting fantasy that swirls as surely as an alluring pot of rich, melted chocolate." Louise Keller Urban Cinefiles
