    Munyurangabo (2007) - Lee Isaac Chung

    Language: Kinyarwanda (English subs)
    Country: Rwanda
    Color: Color
    IMDb Link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1031947/

    Ngabo is a teenaged boy named after the ancient Rwandan warrior Munyurangabo. He steals a machete in Kigali and sets out for the countryside with his friend Sangwa. Sangwa, as it happens, is Hutu. And long years after the genocide, this fact begins to open up differences between the two friends. Chung masterfully draws his audience into this private conflict. This is a closely observed drama, led by two young men – real-life market porters in Kigali – who are acting on screen for the first time with breathtaking naturalism. But a darker undercurrent simmers beneath the growing tension between Ngabo and Sangwa. There can be no innocent machete in Rwanda. Ngabo has stolen the weapon to return to his own village and take revenge on those who killed his family.

    Sense and Sensibility (1995) - Ang Lee

    Language: English | French (Subtitle Tracks: English, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Korean, Thai, English CC | Audio Tracks: English, Spanish, Portuguese)

    Country: USA | UK

    Genre: Drama | Romance

    Director: Ang Lee

    Starring: Emma Thompson, Kate Winslet, Alan Rickman, Hugh Grant

    Consensus: Sense and Sensibility is an uncommonly deft, very funny Jane Austen adaptation, marked by Emma Thompson's finely tuned performance.

    Synopsis: Actress Emma Thompson both wrote and stars in this adaptation of Jane Austen's SENSE AND SENSIBILITY--a novel that perceptively examines the social manners and laws of early-19th-century Britain. Set in the English countryside, the film follows the loves and heartaches of sisters Elinor (Thompson) and Marianne Dashwood (Kate Winslet). The two have extremely divergent approaches to life: Elinor represents "sense" and believes in behaving with propriety and thoughtfulness, while Marianne represents "sensibility" and basks in her own emotions. Both women, however, experience confusion when their lovers, seemingly on the verge of proposing marriage, spurn them. For director Ang Lee, the film marks a break from his Father Knows Best trilogy, which examined the problems of the contemporary Taiwanese family. Many people questioned whether an Asian director could handle an English period film. Lee answered those questions with a gorgeous film that both captures the nuances of Austen's novel and proves that Lee is a first-rate director capable of tackling any material. Featuring Hugh Grant and Alan Rickman, among others, the stellar cast inspired Lee to flatteringly exclaim, "Can everyone in England act?"

    Le grand voyage (2004) - Ismaël Ferroukhi

    SYNOPSIS
    Reda, summoned to accompany his father on a pilgrimage to Mecca, complies reluctantly - as he preparing for his baccalaureat and, even more important, has a secret love relationship. The trip across Europe in a broken-down car is also the departure of his father: upon arrival in Mecca, both Reda and his father are not the characters they were at the start of the movie. Avoiding the hackneyed theme of the return to the homeland, the film uses the departure to renew a connection between two generation.
