AMOURDirector: Michael Haneke France, 2012, 128 min; French with subtitles; PGA masterpiece from Michael Haneke (Caché) about the closing days of a great romance. The French legends Jean-Louis Trintignant and Emmanuelle Riva co-star as a couple in their 80s who have lived in love together for decades, but now their time together begins to end. Such a story is not melodrama. Nor is it tragedy. It is just about the way things are. A profound and uplifting masterpiece. –Roger Ebert

LES MISERABLESDirector: Tom Hooper USA, 2012, 158 min; PGNo one expects gutsy filmmaking in a musical. But that’s just what King’s Speech Oscar-winner Tom Hooper delivers. The massive 1980s stage smash is adapted from Victor Hugo’s novel spun around the 1832 Paris student uprising. There’s no spoken dialogue! Everyone sings! All the time! For nearly three hours! Think rock opera. A never-better Hugh Jackman stars as Jean Valjean. A dynamite Anne Hathaway shatters every heart when she sings how “life has killed the dream I dreamed.” Her volcanic performance has Oscar written all over it. –Rolling Stone

A LATE QUARTETDirector: Yaron Zilberman USA, 2012, 106 min; 14A Cast: Christopher Walken, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Catherine KeenerA celebrated New York string quartet finds themselves at loose ends. With Peter (Christopher Walken), their cellist and de facto leader, suffering from the onset of Parkinson’s disease, the group’s violinists—Robert (Philip Seymour Hoffman) and Daniel (Mark Ivanir)—have designs on first-chair. Meanwhile, Robert’s ego-tism only heightens tensions in his marriage to violist Juliette (Catherine Keener). Consequently, what should be their crowning achievement—an audacious perfor-mance of Beethoven’s “String Quartet No. 14”—might just prove to be their swan song. –Vancouver International Film Festival

WARM BODIESJonathan Levine, USA, 2013, 98 min; PG

The cause of the zombie apocalypse in this rom-zom-com is our addiction to technology. Nicholas Hoult combines lurching and drooling with an understated wit and concern that there might be more to life than eating people. Thus his strange urge to protect Teresa Palmer’s Julie instead of feasting on her cerebrum. A surprisingly universal tale. Warm is the right word. --Empire

CABARETBob Fosse USA, 1972, 124 min.Cabaret takes you inside the Kit Kat Club of 1931 Berlin, where starry-eyed singer Sally Bowles (Liza Minnelli) and an impish emcee (Joel Grey) sound the call to decadent fun, while outside in the streets a certain political party grows into a brutal force. Director-choreographer Bob Fosse shaped a triumph of style and substance. Come to the Cabaret, old chum!

Director: Nikolaj Arcel Denmark, 2012, Danish with subtitles; 138 min; 14ACaught between the Age of Enlightenment and a cloistered world of entitlement, between duty and illicit love, Caroline Mathilde (Alicia Vikander) is the young queen, imported from England, who

shares the Danish throne with King Christian VII. In this sumptuous 18th-century drama, she arrives in Copenhagen full of bright-eyed optimism, only to see that her new husband is, um, a twit.

Then Johann Struensee (the charming, slightly sin-ister Mads Mikkelsen, The Hunt) is hired on as the king’s doctor. He becomes the king’s personal

adviser, too. And then he becomes the king’s wife’s lover, sneaking into her bedroom. Suddenly, she feels alive again, and important. He, likewise, falls in love…Beautifully staged and shot, A Royal Affair is historical drama of the highest order. –Philadelphia Inquirer

In a moving declaration of love for his daughter, filmmaker Hugo Latulippe and his family steal away for a year, focusing on his daughter’s learn-ing, so that she can integrate into a regular classroom when they get home.

In a defiant bayou community, a six-year-old girl (Quvenzhané Wallis, the youngest Best Actress nomi-nee in Oscar history) exists on the brink of orphan-hood. Buoyed by her childish optimism and extraor-dinary imagination, she believes that the natural world is in balance with the universe until a fierce storm changes her reality. Desperate to save her ailing father, this tiny hero learns to survive catastrophes of epic proportions. “STARTLINGLY FRESH AND POWERFUL!” –The New Yorker

SEARCHING FOR SUGAR MANDirector: Malik Bendjelloul Sweden/UK, 2012, 87 minutes; PGMusic fans love this indie documentary. Some say Mexican-American singer-songwriter Sixto Rodriguez could have been as big as Dylan, yet his first album bombed on release in 1970s America. But unbeknown to the near-penniless Detroit artist he was a sensation in South Africa. This is the quest of two South Africans to find their hero, following clues in song lyrics. The journey’s a blast — and the story isn’t over yet.

BLOOD PRESSUREDirector: Sean Garrity Canada, 2012, 95 minutesThis clever Canadian thriller begins in voiceover: “Dear Nicole …” A 40-year-old Toronto housewife/pharmacist has just received a typewritten letter from — well, I guess secret admirer fits the bill. It’s friendly but vague, and asks if she wants to “take the next step.” Michelle Giroux plays Nicole, and it’s her reaction that sells the story. Her character has an inattentive husband and two almost-grown kids. She’s just bored enough to be curious. She takes the next step and, when that proves small and harmless, another. And another…. –National Post

NEIGHBOURING SOUNDSDirector: Kleber Mendonça Filho Brazil, 2012, 131 min; Portuguese with subtitlesThis supremely poised first feature from Brazil is steeped equally in dread and humor. We’re in a well-off beachfront neighborhood of Recife where the residents are ensconced in bourgeois comfort but also trapped behind barred windows and security systems. The Altmanesque tapestry includes members of a rich family and of the working class that variously serves, protects, and threatens them. Filho uses fluid camerawork and an intricate sound design to sensational effect: the horror is nameless and pervasive, both embedded in the everyday and an emanation of the collective unconscious. –Artforum

LOVE, MARILYNDirector: Liz Garbus USA, 2012, 105 minWatching Liz Garbus’ magical documentary I realized not just how much we don’t know about Marilyn Monroe. Garbus is working from a treasure trove of new material: boxes of the star’s highly confessional and introspec-tive letters and diaries, which were found only recently. Actresses like Glenn Close, Viola Davis, and a fantastic Uma Thurman read the excerpts, and listening to Monroe’s own words, we hear her voice and glimpse her soul as never before. We also watch her in never-before-seen interviews, photographs, and home movies. Love, Marilyn deepens the argument that the ditzy ‘’Marilyn’’ was every inch a performance, and a brilliant one. –Entertainment Weekly

Victoria Film Festival

A film about changing the world. This follow-up Rob Stewart’s acclaimed Sharkwater continues his remarkable journey. In an effort to uncover the truth and find the secret to saving the ecosystems we depend on for survival, Stewart embarks on a life-threatening adventure. From the coral reefs in Papua New Guinea and deforestation in Madagascar to the largest and most destructive environmental project in history in Alberta, Canada, he reveals that all of our actions are intercon-nected and that they are reducing the Earth’s ability to house humans. How did this happen, and what will it take to change the course that humanity has set itself on? Stewart finds encouragement and hope, pointing to the revolutions of the past and how we’ve evolved and changed our course in times of necessity. Startling, beautiful, and provocative, Revolution inspires audiences from across the globe to start a revolution and change the world forever. –therevolutionmovie.com

I don’t know how Moreh persuaded six former heads of Israel’s Shin Bet secret-service agency to talk to him; these are tough men who have never spoken about their work before. But talk they do about terrorism, torture, war, compromise, the relationships between Israelis and Palestinians, and, most depress-ingly, about the relationships among Israelis in a country being torn apart as much by citizens within as by enemies without. What they have to say is unnerving, surprising, and vital. —Entertainment Weekly

Join acclaimed director Velcrow Ripper (Scared Sacred, Fierce Light) on a journey deep inside the revolution of the heart that is erupting around the planet, as he asks the question, “How could the crisis we are facing become a love story?” Occupy Love explores the growing realization that the dominant system of power is failing to provide us with health, happiness or meaning. The old paradigm that concentrates wealth, founded on the greed of the few, is causing economic and ecological collapse. The resulting crisis has become the catalyst for a profound awakening….The film features captivating insider scenes from the Egyptian Revolution, the Indignado uprising in Spain, Occupy Wall Street in New York, Indigenous activists at the Alberta Tar Sands, the climate justice movement, and beyond. Occupy Love is a moving, transforma-tive, heartfelt film. It will leave audiences inspired. –occupylove.org

NODirector: Pablo Larrain Chile, 2012, 118 min; Spanish with subtitles; PGWinner of the Directors’ Fortnight top prize in Cannes, No stars Gael Garcia Bernal (Motorcycle Diaries) as the brilliant young Chilean man who helped topple the dictator Pinochet. Part of Team No’s genius was to use humor in its ads, a quite bold move if you consider the seriousness behind the opposition to Pinochet. It is 1988 and the military junta announced it would hold a plebiscite to get the people’s permission to stay in power. Enter Rene Saavedra (Bernal), an ad man who, after a career pushing soft drinks and soap, sets out to sell Chileans on democracy and freedom. Shot on video tape to give the film the look of the 80s, Larrain has created a smart, funny and totally engross-ing political thriller with a powerful resonance for our times. –Victoria Film Festival

BEST DIRECTOR

ang lee!A miraculous achievement of storytelling and a landmark of visual mastery. A triumph inspired by Yann Martel’s worldwide best-seller. It is also a moving spiritual achievement, a movie whose title could have been shortened to “life.” The story involves the 227 days that its teenage hero (Suraj Sharma) spends drifting across the Pacific in the same lifeboat as a Bengal tiger. The movie quietly combines various religious traditions to enfold its story in the wonder of life. One of the year’s best. –Roger Ebert
