The Quietude 🎬 At first glance, “The Quietude” is another film that sees an estranged family member forced to come back home to face her family. The difference is the direction by Argentinian director Pablo Trapero and his knack for creating these intensely human stories. His last film in 2005 was about the Puccio clan, a family who kidnapped and killed people. It may seem he is turning to an easier, more family drama themed story but amidst the backdrop of a dictatorship, drug running, sexual affairs, and years of betrayal and resentment-this is anything but a cliche family drama and may just be his most perilous film yet. 🎬 "Beautifully crafted multi-layered drama... [Trapero’s] most enjoyable film in years... a melodramatic feast on the surface while opening up darker questions underneath." Jay Weissberg, Variety 🎬 Now Playing until March 21 at VIFF Vancity Theatre. (In Spanish w/ Eng subtitles)

Ruben Brandt, Collector Animation is such a useful too when crossing genres in film. The tonality and aesthetic of a story can be completely changed under imaginative artwork. • 🎬 “Ruben Brandt, Collector” is a film that utilizes these tool to a beautifully imaginative effect. It is both noir heist thriller and action film. It is a weighty existential look at oneself and a comment on art. The story is at times fast, but often ominous. This feels like a Hitchcock film and a Mission Impossible film contained wonderfully within the same story. The characters have inconsistent, Picasso like features, painting us into this art filled animated world. • 🎬 "An acrobatic, larkish globetrotting adventure about paintings and psychotherapy that defies easy categorization save inclusion on any adult animation fan’s must-see list." Robert Abele, LA Times. • 🎬 Catch the final screening of “Ruben Brandt, Collector” March 13 at 12:30pm, VIFF Vancity Theatre.

Win two tickets to see ‘Gospel According to Al Green’ at VIFF Vancity Theatre on Monday March 11th! ✨Just follow @viffest, “like” and tag a friend in the comments below for your chance to win. 🎬 Great music documentaries are more than a discography or a Wikipedia page. They look to find the added parts of a life that made the artist. ‘Gospel According to Al Green’ from 1984 is a deep search into the legend’s artistic process and how that led to success in life and faith. Director Robert Mugge crafts the story to provoke interest but he clearly understands his biggest asset is Al Green himself. Green humbly tells his own story in his lyrically spoken words with the backdrop of his infectiously catchy songs to lift this fascinating story of an impressive artist’s career. 🎬 In a time where flashy music documentaries are making a comeback with pop stars like Katy Perry and Justin Beiber, this is an engrossing and thoughtful film about a legend. The interviews are insightful, the music is visceral and as one of the early documentaries profiling a musician, it remains one of the greatest. 🎬 "One of the most powerful ’live’ performances ever captured on film... It’s frightening." Greg Quill, Toronto Star
