THE EDGE OF HEAVEN
(NR, Germany/Turkey/Italy, 122 mins.)

Germany’s offering for Best Foreign Language Film in 2008, the profoundly moving fifth feature from director Fatih Akin (Head-On) is a superbly cast drama, in which the lives and emotional arcs of six people - four Turks and two Germans - criss-cross through love and tragedy. The Turkish-German filmmaker again moves across borders, literally, of economic and ethnic realities, dredging up telling racial vertigo on the way to conveying the importance of tolerance and compassion. (German and Turkish with English subtitles)

SAVAGE GRACE
(NR, Spain/USA/France, 97 mins.)

The eternally fascinating duo Decadence and Dysfunction rear their heads in this cinematic glimpse into the lives of the rich, peripatetic heirs of the Bakelite plastics fortune. Director Tom Kalin (Swoon) uses dark humor and artful style to heighten a tale of the rich abusing their privileges. Based on the book about the true story of social climber Barbara Daly who married Brooks Baekeland and gave birth to a son Tony in 1946. Money, madness, incest, and ultimately murder, fill a story that travels the world with a mother and son only Tennessee Williams could love. Featuring Julianne Moore, Stephen Dillane and Eddie Redmayne.

BEAUTY IN TROUBLE
(NR, Czech Republic, 110 mins.)

The newest offering from the Czech filmmakers of Divided We Fall and Up and Down is a dramatic comedy about a beautiful working–class wife and mother living in Prague in 2002 who is torn between a filthy rich and perfectly lovely older man who offers her a future, and the bad boy she married, a surly but fundamentally good man forced into crime to make ends meet. With a story about the perseverance of family and love, as well as a roster of ludicrous yet somehow compelling supporting characters, the plotline reveals a ruthless and hilarious portrait of contemporary Czech society as a realm of bottomless hypocrisy and corruption. First-rate production values include a few original English-lingo songs from the Oscar-winner for Once, musician Glen Hansard. (Czech with English subtitles)
