Departures

This Japanese production won the Oscar for Best Foreign Film last year. It follows a man who finds reverence, honour, and grace in an occupation that is shunned by his family and his peers. It’s a fascinating glimpse inside everyday life in small-town Japan.

“Beautiful moments abound. In Departures, the contemplation of death prepares the way for an appreciation of life.”- Joe Morgenstern - Wall Street Journal

The Hurt Locker

Toronto director Kathryn Bigelow has garnered huge Oscar buzz for this film. It’s not a documentary about war in Iraq. It’s not full of Hollywood-style combat scenes. It’s an almost unbearably tense portrayal of men at work – even if their job is defusing IED bombs on a daily basis. We found it riveting from start to finish.

“Here's the Iraq War movie for those who don't like Iraq War movies”. - Peter Travers Rolling Stone
