I Don't Understand You

Synopsis:

The Calgary International Film Festival Presents: I Don't Understand You (2024)


An American couple, on the verge of adopting a baby, goes on an Italian vacation — an opportunity to reconnect before the new addition arrives. Everything is picture-perfect; the epitome of a European baby moon, when things begin to spiral out of control. 

On the way to dinner, they get their rental car stuck in a ditch and are stranded in rural nowhere in a downpour. These two Americans, who are used to being catered to, are now in a foreign land without service, an Italian language comprehension of about zero, and clear relationship turmoil that could explode at any minute. Fear obviously takes over.

Stars: Nick Kroll, Andrew Rannells, Morgan Spector                      
Running time: 1 hr 36 min

Fast Times at Ridgemont High

Synopsis:


A League of Their Own Presents: Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982)

The wild world of adolescence has rarely been captured with as sharp an observational eye as in this refreshingly smart, frank spin on the teen comedy by director Amy Heckerling and screenwriter Cameron Crowe—for each of whom it kicked off a hugely successful film career. 

Based on Crowe’s experiences going undercover as a student at a Southern California high school, Fast Times at Ridgemont High blends hormone-fueled hilarity with an almost sociological examination of the 1980s teenage experience: the shopping mall hangouts, fast-food jobs, buzzkill teachers, awkward dates, and first experiences of love and sex. 

This pop-culture touchstone launched to stardom practically an entire cast of unknowns—including Jennifer Jason Leigh, Phoebe Cates, Judge Reinhold, Forest Whitaker, Anthony Edwards, Eric Stoltz, and Sean Penn as stoner icon Jeff Spicoli—and broke new ground in its raw yet sensitive depiction of the realities of coming of age.


Genre: Comedy, Drama

Director: Amy Heckerling
Stars: Sean Penn, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Judge Reinhold           
Running time: 1 hr 30 min
Rating: 14A (Sexual Content)

Synopsis:


Globe Cinema Presents: The Exorcist III (1990)

Georgetown, Washington D.C. Seventeen long years after the execution of the Gemini Killer and the fateful night of pure terror in The Exorcist (1973), a spate of grisly killings bearing the trademark of the mass murderer terrorizes the district. And as the death toll keeps rising, skeptical police officer Lieutenant William F. Kinderman is still obsessed with solving the baffling case. 

In the meantime, in the city's high-security psychiatric institution, a cryptic inmate bearing an uncanny resemblance to the late Father Damien Karras emerges from his deep catatonic state, claiming he has all the answers Kinderman needs. But who is the mysterious Patient X? Does the same unholy force that tormented Regan MacNeil have something to do with the brutal demonic murders?

The Long Good Friday - Poster

The Long Good Friday

Synopsis:


Globe Cinema Presents: The Long Good Friday (1980)

A combustible performance from Bob Hoskins is the fuse that lights this underworld saga, a landmark of British crime cinema. Hoskins plays Harold Shand, an ambitious London mobster who, just as he attempts to close a major real-estate deal with the American Mafia, finds his crime empire rocked by a string of attacks, sending him on a ruthless quest to find out who’s responsible. 

Abetted by an ice-cool performance from Helen Mirren as Shand’s in-command moll, The Long Good Friday is not only a gripping gangster thriller but also a vivid portrait of late-1970s Britain — a powder keg of cultural and political tensions on the verge of explosion.


Genre: Crime, Drama

Director: John Mackenzie
Stars: Bob Hoskins, Helen Mirren, Paul Freeman                
Running time: 1 hr 54 min
Rating: 14A (Coarse Language, Nudity, Violence)
