[DVD Review] Disengagement

19 December 2010 1:30 PM, PST | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »

In a time when the world is at war, it’s hard for an American to truly comprehend the hardships faced by the rest of the world. Disengagement gives us a glimpse into the conflict between Israel and Palestine, honing in on the removal of local settlers from Gaza. Juliette Binoche stars as Ana, a French woman who is unhappily married and searching for meaning in her life. After the death of her father, Ana is reunited with her adopted brother Uli, a member of the Israeli police force. Together the two travel to Israel, Ana to find the daughter she gave up at birth, Uli to help with the disengagement of Israeli settlers in Gaza. What unfolds is a heartbreaking story of family and faith.

Juliette Binoche (Chocolat) has only gotten more graceful and elegant with age, and here she brings the character of Ana to life so well »

For something less serious, but equally compelling, there is also Ricki Stern and Annie Sundberg's "Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work," which follows the »

13th Annual EU Film Festival Highlights, Week Four: ‘The Secret of Kells,’ ‘Hadewijch’

25 March 2010 1:32 PM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »

Chicago – We have now reached the fourth and final week of the 13th Annual European Union Film Festival at the Siskel Film Center, and what a fantastic festival it has been. From international sensations to critically acclaimed gems rarely available in the Us, the EU annual line-up is consistently one of the finest offered by any festival in the Windy City.

The first three weeks were loaded with highlights that just seemed to get better as the days progressed. Some of the selections, such as Austria’s diabolical delight “The Bone Man” and the Netherlands’ beguiling documentary “Rembrandt’s J’Accuse,” were more entertaining than the majority of mainstream Hollywood releases. Both France and Italy had several exceptional entries this year, including Amos Gitai’s spellbinding “Disengagement” and Luca Guadagnino’s ravishing “I Am Love.” Read more here, here and here.

The final week is somewhat of a letdown in comparison, »

13th Annual EU Film Festival Highlights, Week Three: ‘Rembrandt’s J’Accuse,’ ‘Disengagement’

18 March 2010 7:45 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »

Chicago – The third week of the 13th Annual EU Film Festival at the Siskel Film Center has arrived, and we’re back to give you an idea of what to expect in the second half of arguably the best fest in the Windy City. We profile several of this week’s hottest tickets, including an anticipated screening hosted by Chicago’s own Jonathan Rosenbaum.

The first half of EU 2010 (which you can read about here and here) produced some memorable films including Sweden’s taut thriller “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo,” Italy’s sumptuous romance “I Am Love,” and France’s exhilaratingly off-kilter re-telling of “Bluebeard.” As good as all of those films were, the festival has generally been offering stronger programming each week, and this is the best one yet. Out of the next four highlights, there are at least two that absolutely should not be missed.
