MY AFTERNOONS WITH MARGUERITE MOVIE TRAILER

My Afternoons with Marguerite

My Afternoons with Marguerite (Unrated)

 

Gérard Depardieu, Sophie Guillemin, Claire Maurier, Jean-François Stévenin, Mélanie Bernier
A village idiot and an articulate writer forge an unusual bond after a chance meeting in a local park. Germain is in his 50s, and completely illiterate; Margueritte is in her 90s, and shares her passion for writing with anyone who will listen. Her favorite pastime is to sit in the park, and read excerpts from her novel fro passersby. When lumbering Germain shares a park bench with Margueritte, her reading aloud helps him to connect with his inner intellectual. Little does Germain realize Margueritte is getting as much out of their relationship as he is; as Germain becomes more literate, Margueritte discovers a unique friendship that she never thought possible. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Over time, Countess Bathory's gained great influence, even holding sway over decisions made by the King. But she was unwilling to accept a world in which men were able to break the rules without consequence while women were expected to be unquestionably subservient, and after her husband died, Countess Bathory fell deeply in love with a young nobleman named Istvan (Daniel Brà 1/4hl), whom she encountered at a lavish feast. Istvan too was smitten, though his relationship with the countess was cut short when his father, Count Thurzo (William Hurt), forced him to break off the romance.

Mr. NICE MOVIE TRAILER

Mr. Nice

Mr. Nice (Unrated)

 

Luis Tosar, Crispin Glover, Jamie Harris, Christian McKay, Elsa Pataky
The true story of a man who stumbled into a lucrative career as one of Europe's biggest drug dealers comes to the screen in this comedy-drama. Howard Marks (Rhys Ifans) was a young Welshman studying at Oxford when he discovered there was something unusual about his dorm room -- it had a secret passageway that led to a storage space used by one of the school's top marijuana dealers. Marks and the dealer struck up a friendship as he became an enthusiastic customer, and a few years later, when plans to bring a large cache of hashish into England via Germany went haywire, Marks stepped in to help and was introduced to a circle of big league marijuana traffickers. Marks quit his job as a teacher to become a full time drug wholesaler, and while his new career cost him his first marriage, it introduced him to Judy (Chloe Sevigny), a lovely woman who became the love of his life. As Marks' business grew, he gained some interesting new associates, including an Irish Republican Army operative (David Thewlis) who knew how to get past customs agents, an intelligence agent (Christian McKay) working on both sides of the law and a wildly eccentric American marijuana kingpin (Crispin Glover). Mr. Nice was adapted from the autobiography by the real-life Howard Marks; Marks is good friends with Rhys Ifans, who was cast to play him in the film. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
