The Last Kiss (L'ultimo Bacio)
(Feature) 115 mins.
Leads: Stefano Accorsi, Martina Stella, Giovanna
Mezzogiorno, Stefania Sandrelli
Directed by: Gabriele Muccino (Italy)
In Italian with English Subtitles
Set in a wealthy Italian suburb, The Last Kiss
follows an amiable group of eight friends and family
members of various ages who chase after passions, struggle
with love problems and try to balance responsibility
and duty with their needs and dreams. Francesca (Martina
Stella) is 18, blonde and beautiful. She falls in love
with young advertising executive Carlo who is 30 and
about to have his first child with Giulia, the love
of his life. Faced with heightened responsibilities
and new levels of commitment as soon-to-be dad, Carlo
struggles mightily with the temptation of Francesca's
obvious attraction.
Giulia's mother is 50. She has been married for almost
30 years and, frustrated by being taken for granted
by her seemingly indifferent husband, desperately looks
for long-lost excitement and adventure.
Carlos' three buddies-a serial seducer, a tormented
recent father and a jilted love-sick suitor - dream
of escaping their troubles by acquiring a boat and a
van and heading off on a grand adventure. As each series
of relationships totter crazily in various states of
crises, their lives become hopelessly entangled in operatic
webs of their own making.

Bowling For Columbine
(Feature) 120 mins.
Leads: Michael Moore, Dick Clark, Charlton Heston,
Marilyn Manson, Matt Stone
Directed By: Michael Moore (USA/Canada)
Rated – AA (Persons younger than 14 years
of age must be accompanied by an adult)
Documentary
Bowling for Columbine is a flat-out brilliant
cinematic essay on the issue of guns and violence in
American society. Using the Columbine High School massacre
in April 1999 as his thematic anchor, Michael Moore
(Roger & Me) sets out to uncover the roots
of America's dark, unparalleled propensity for violence.
Moore visits a Michigan bank that gives new customers
a free gun, presents shocking statistics regarding America's
rabid gun culture (more than 11,000 gun deaths per year
in the U.S., compared to just over 100 in Canada), and
interviews subjects as diverse as a personal associate
of Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh, National Rifle
Association chairman Charlton Heston, shock rocker Marilyn
Manson and South Park creator Matt Stone (a Columbine
grad), all in the service of questioning why gun violence
is so ingrained in the American character.
If the easy availability of guns were the answer, then
what explains Canada, a nation of 10 million families
and 7 million guns? In a particularly hilarious sequence,
Moore tests the notoriously trusting nature of Canadian
society by going door to door in downtown Toronto, only
to discover that nobody locks their front door.

Rabbit-Proof Fence
(Feature) 94 mins.
Leads: Everlyn Sampi, Tianna Sansbury, Laura
Monaghan, Kenneth Branagh
Directed By: Phillip Noyce (Australia)
Rabbit-Proof Fence is an extraordinarily
moving and triumphant cinematic experience based on
a true story. Drawing on the book by Doris Pilkington-Garimara,
director Phillip Noyce skilfully awakens an incredible
journey accomplished by three determined half-caste
Aboriginal children, Molly, Daisy and Gracie. Set in
1931, the three girls find themselves caught in the
web of a misguided Western Australian law that decreed
half-caste children be removed from their villages and
sent to Reformation Camps to pave eventual entry into
white society. Under the supervision of Chief Protectorate
Mr. A.O. Neville (Kenneth Branagh) from his office in
Perth, the three girls are spirited from their village
at Jigalong and transported to Moon River Camp-1,500
miles away to the south.
Buoyed by her indomitable spirit, Molly refuses to
accept her fate and dares to attempt the impossible,
leading Daisy and Gracie away from the camp on a 1,500
mile escape of epic proportions. Pursued by the police
under the direction of Neville and tracked by the almost
magical Moodoo, the girls attract national media attention
as they continually outwit the manhunt and try to make
it home by foot using the continent-wide 'rabbit-proof
fence' (built to save Australia from crippling rabbit
plague) as their only guide.
