A new vision from the makers of the original classic. The most terrifying film you will ever experience!

A remote cabin in the woods becomes a blood-soaked chamber of horrors when a group of 20-something friends unwittingly awakens an ancient demon in Evil Dead, the highly anticipated reboot of Sam Raimi’s 1981 cult-hit horror film The Evil Dead. Featuring a fresh young cast, Evil Dead is a bone-chilling film that combines all the raw excitement and gleeful gore of the acclaimed original with a series of shocking new twists.

Mia (Jane Levy), a young woman whose life has been marred by loss and addiction, asks her brother David (Shiloh Fernandez), his girlfriend Natalie (Elizabeth Blackmore) and their childhood friends Olivia (Jessica Lucas) and Eric (Lou Taylor Pucci) to join her at the family’s rustic cabin to help her overcome her demons.

Noémie Lvovsky directs, co-writes and stars as Camille, a 40-year-old Parisian drowning in alcoholic anguish after splitting up from her former childhood sweetheart Éric (Samir Guesmi) after 25 happy years together.

She is attending school, her late mother is alive still, and she has a bright yellow portable cassette player buzzing with cheesy 1980s Europop hits.

Fate, it seems, has granted Camille a second chance. With the wisdom of hindsight, she struggles to rewrite history, resisting classmate Éric's advances to save her adult self from future heartbreak. But destiny is not so easily persuaded, and Camille eventually comes to learn that some life choices can be changed while others must simply be embraced.  (French language, English subtitles.)  NOMINATED FOR 13 CESAR AWARDS

Directed by one of France’s most beloved and acclaimed filmmakers Claude Miller, based on François Mauriac’s famous novel. The elegant last film gloriously brings to life a classic tale based on a real life incident.

Thérèse (Audrey Tautou, star of Amelie and Delicacy) is an intelligent young woman married off to Bernard Desqueyroux (Gilles Lellouche), the chauvinistic son of another local bourgeois dynasty. Thérèse’s avant-garde ideas clash with the local conventions and she yearns to break free. Her freedom becomes tantalizingly close when Thérèse discovers that increasing Bernard’s medicine dose makes him unwell.
This exquisite drama belongs to the internationally renowned Tautou, with her nuanced portrayal of a lonely and complex woman. Lellouche is also in brilliant form as a man who is changed by his flirtation with death. Beautifully filmed to capture the Landes area in southwest France, this is a memorable epitaph for the talented Miller. (French language, English subtitles.)

From acclaimed director Jacques Audiard, who delivered such powerhouse films including the Oscar-nominated A Prophet, Read My Lips and the eight Cesar-award winning The Beat That My Heart Skipped, comes Rust and Bone. Based on the book of short stories by Canadian author Craig Davidson, Rust and Bone follows Alain (Schoenaerts) a mid-twenties dropout. Penniless and landed with a 5-year-old son to look after, he goes to stay with his sister in Antibes and starts looking for work. At a nightclub he meets Stephanie (Cotillard), a killer whale trainer at the local Marineland Water Park. Alain is fascinated by her, but Stephanie isn't interested in him, until she suffers a tragic accident that leaves her handicapped. An unusual, physical and codified relationship develops between them. As in Audiard's previous films, with Rust and Bone he takes two characters in an unlikely relationship, on the margins of society, plagued by their inner demons and obsessions, and delivers a deeply dramatic punch. (French language, English subtitles.)

Rust and Bone was selected as part of Official Competition at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival.
