DOWN WITH LOVE is set in the early 1960s, and every frame pops with the super-saturated palette of 60s Technicolor.

Rated:NONE The Sea is a family drama set in a remote fishing village in Iceland. The whole existence of the village is based upon the local fisheries, but new economic realities are slowly eroding that foundation. The aging owners of small fishing boats are selling their fishing quotas to larger companies in other parts of the country and therefore the local processing plants have less work to offer and the community suffers. Thordur, the ruthless patriarch of the main fishing company in the village, refuses to give in. His stand is that the benefits of greater efficiency can only come at the unacceptable cost of closing his plant and thus closing down the village. But while he's delivering sermons along those lines he also makes an aside about how the only people willing to work at his plant are foreign migrant labourers, so it is not really clear what he wants to save. But save it he does. However he also realizes that he is aging and his preferences might become moot in a heartbeat or lack thereof. He therefore decides to summon his children home, hoping to put his house in order.

Rated:NONE New York City is a city of cinephiles, with more opportunities to see films of a vast variety than any other city in the nation. On the edge of the cinephile community, however, are the "cinemaniacs" whose love of film is so extreme that they average 2-5 movies a day, often sacrificing true social lives and successful careers just to feed their obsession with the cinema. This documentary follows the lives of five such movie fans, whose obsession varies from the manageable to the borderline, and whose knowledge and love of cinema would could humble most professional film critics.
Rated:R Minami (Hideki Sone) is underling to yakuza Ozaki (Sho Aikawa), a man whose increasingly peculiar behaviour is beginning to worry his superiors. When Ozaki interrupts a gang meeting to voice his concerns that the diminutive Chihuahua staring through the window has been sent to kill them - and he proceeds to take some drastic security measures against the fluffy canine - his boss decides it's best to get rid of him. The task befalls Minami, who is sent out by car to the yakuza disposal dump in Nagoya with an unsuspecting Ozaki in the back seat. Tormented by the dilemma of having to kill his own beloved senior, Minami is a ball of nerves when he does the job entirely by accident; suddenly hitting the brakes, he causes Ozaki to slam his head hard against the front seat, breaking his neck.
Now at a complete loss, he pulls up to the nearest roadside coffee shop to find a phone, but when he returns he finds that Ozaki's body has disappeared from his car. Did somebody steal it or did the yakuza just get up and walk off by himself? Minami goes off on a desperate search, but a flat tyre gets him stranded almost immediately. To make matters worse, everybody in this particular suburb seems to have more than a few screws loose, from the cross-dressing coffee shop owner and the American sake vendor who literally reads his Japanese lines from cue cards, to the autistic innkeeper and his excessively lactating (yes, one of those again) sister. If that wasn't enough, a mysterious but gorgeous young woman emerges in the back seat of his car, who knows all Minami's darkest secrets - secrets he only ever told Ozaki.
