LA VIE EN ROSE
As those who saw it at the Celestial Cinema know, this is the kind of grand, passionate historical drama that no one seems to be able to pull off any more. A swirling, impressionistic portrait of an artist who regretted nothing, writer-director Olivier Dahan's La Vie en Rose stars Marion Cotillard as the legendary French icon Edith Piaf and Gérard Depardieu as one of the many men in her life. Roger Ebert enthused "One of the best biopics I've seen!" In French with English subtitles. PG-13. 140 min.

TEN CANOES
Anthropology and entertainment are marvelously married in this first feature in an Australian Aboriginal language, shot in breathtaking widescreen cinematography, which feels authentic to the core as it offers a take on tribal life that's set in a mythic, prehistoric past and is warm, funny and powerfully alive. Its mixture of wisdom and whimsy makes this movie feel as timeless as it is timely. It leaves us "genuinely intrigued, touched and amused" wrote the Washington Post. Unrated. 90 min. In Aboriginal with English subtitles and English.
