*Trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXhtpluseWg
.
(After his mother's death, a young fakir from the streets of Mumbai, AJATASHATRU or 'AJA' ("Dhanush"), leaves India for France to track down the father he never knew. From the moment he arrives in Paris, nothing goes as planned. Aja falls in love with a young American woman ("Erin Moriarty") having an existential crisis, wakes up in a truck full of Somalian Refugees ("Barkhad Abdi") headed for England, is held hostage in a bureaucratic war, sorts out the love life of a Movie Star ("Berenice Bejo"), gets shot at by a hitman in a Roman palace, travels by private jet, merchant ship and hot-air balloon, and becomes a rich man for the span of a few hours. As Aja finds himself helplessly shipped from Folkestone to Barcelona, and from Rome to Tripoli, what was initially supposed to be a simple visit to Paris to discover his father's identity turns into a veritable odyssey.)

(Cambodia, April 1975. Chou is a young woman whose everyday world is suddenly upended by the arrival of the Khmer Rouge regime. During the chaos of the forced exile from their home, Chou and her husband are separated from their 4-year-old son, who has been sent to an unknown location. As she navigates her new reality, working in the fields day and night under the careful watch of soldiers, and surviving the small indignities and harrowing realities of the increasingly grim work camps, Chou remains steadfast in her determination to reunite her family - even if it means risking everything. Winner of the top prizes at the Annecy Animation Festival and the Animation is Film Festival, Funan is a searing and remarkable debut from filmmaker Denis Do, who uses his own family history as inspiration for a thrilling story of love, loss and enduring hope in the most trying of times. Featuring the voices of Bérénice Bejo ("THE ARTIST") and Louis Garrel ("THE DREAMERS").)

(Albert Dupontel’s giddily ambitious adaption of Pierre Lemaitre’s novel, The Great Swindle (honored with the prestigious Prix Goncourt in 2013), is a dizzying genre-balancing act that swirls across the screen as it follows three scheming soldiers in the wake of World War I. The film’s deft mélange of the horrors of war, broad comedy and the director’s very own brand of very dark humor tells the story of two grunt soldiers — a humble accountant (Dupontel) and a brilliant painter (Nahuel Pérez Biscayart) — and their sadistic commanding officer (Laurent Lafitte), and the monumental scams they simultaneously mount to cash in on their own spoils of war. The film’s intoxicating technical feats and a formidable cast are literally guaranteed to take your breath away. The proof — the film earned a whopping 13 César nominarions and won 5 Awards, for Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Costumes and Production Design.)
