The Darjeeling Limited

By Wes Anderson (USA, 2007)
With: Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody and Jason Schwartzmann
Original version English; French subtitles; 91 minutes

A year after the accidental death of their father, three drug-addicted brothers – each suffering from depression – meet for a train trip across India. Francis, the eldest, has organized it. The brothers argue, sulk, resent each other, and fight. The youngest, Jack, estranged from his girlfriend, is attracted to one of the train's attendants. Peter has left his pregnant wife at home, and he buys a venomous snake. After a few days, Francis discloses their surprising and disconcerting destination. Amid foreign surroundings, can the brothers sort out their differences? A funeral, a meditation, a hilltop ritual, and the Bengal Lancer figure in the reconciliation.

C.R.A.Z.Y.

By Jean-Marc Vallée (Canada, 2005)
With: Michel Côté, Marc-André Grondin, Danielle Proulx
Original version French; English subtitles; 127 minutes

It is a story of two love affairs. A father's love for his five sons. And one son's love for his father, a love so strong it compels him to live a lie. That son is Zac Beaulieu, born on the 25th of December 1960, different from all his brothers, but desperate to fit in. During the next 20 years, life takes Zac on a surprising and unexpected journey that ultimately leads him to accept his true nature and, even more importantly, leads his father to love him for who he really is. A mystical fable about a modern-day Christ-like figure, "C.R.A.Z.Y" exudes the beauty, the poetry and the madness of the human spirit in all its contradictions.
