Foxes

Synopsis:

Calgary Cinematheque Presents: Foxes (1980)


This coming-of-age story follows four teenagers living in Los Angeles’ San Fernando Valley. The film exudes punk rock energy, thanks to an outstanding performance by rock legend Cherie Currie of The Runaways.

The four girls face a myriad of challenges: a divorced mom who's dating again, abusive boyfriends, addiction, and party-crashing classmates. While the teens long to appear mature, things never quite go as planned. The film perfectly captures the malaise of early adulthood—too young for sophisticated dinner parties, too old for childish games.

Two-time Oscar winner Jodie Foster stars as Jeanie, with a brief cameo from Laura Dern.

Genre: Drama

Director: Adrian Lyne
Stars: Jodie Foster, Cherie Currie, Marilyn Kagan

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.

Genre: Comedy

Director: David Joseph Craig, Brian Crano 
Stars: Nick Kroll, Andrew Rannells, Morgan Spector

It Feeds

Synopsis:


Globe Cinema Presents: It Feeds (2025)

Cynthia and her adolescent daughter Jordan run a home psychiatry practice that seems normal to the outside world but behind closed doors, Cynthia has a unique ability. She's a clairvoyant who can mind-meld and can see into another person's consciousness. A practice she keeps very secret and rarely uses as it's not accepted by the general public. 

When a young girl bursts into their home office claiming an entity is feeding on her, Cynthia is quick to turn her away. They deal in personal trauma, not with whatever is attached to the girl. Jordan, shocked that her mother refused to help, decides to go after the young girl unknowingly putting herself in the path of something far more dangerous than she could ever imagine.

Fallen Angels - Poster

Fallen Angels

Synopsis:


Globe Cinema Presents: Fallen Angels (1995)

Lost souls reach out for human connection amidst the glimmering night world of Hong Kong in Wong Kar Wai’s hallucinatory, neon-soaked nocturne. 

Originally conceived as a segment of CHUNKING EXPRESS (1994) only to spin off on its own woozy axis, this hyper-cool head rush plays like the dark, moody flip side to Wong’s breakout feature as it charts the subtly interlacing fates of a handful of urban loners, including a coolly detached hitman (Leon Lai) looking to go straight, his business partner (Michelle Reis) who secretly yearns for him, and a mute delinquent (Takeshi Kaneshiro) who wreaks mischief by night. 

Swinging between hardboiled noir and slapstick lunacy with giddy abandon, Fallen Angels is both a dizzying, dazzling city symphony and a poignant meditation on love, loss, and longing in a metropolis that never sleeps.


Genre: Comedy, Crime

Director: Wong Kar-Wai
Stars: Leon Lai, Michelle Reis, Takeshi Kaneshiro          
Running time: 1 hr 39 min
Rating: 14A (Violence)

Fast Times at Ridgemont High - Poster

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)
