Leviafan(Andrey Zvyagintsev, 2014)

The stunning new film from modern Russian master Andrey Zvyagintsev (The Return, Elena), LEVIATHAN is a gripping parable of class, faith and corruption, centering on a land dispute between a small-time mechanic and his local authorities that reaps unimaginable consequences.

Izgnanie( Andrey Zvyagintsev, 2007)

On the heels of his award-winning 2003 feature debut The Return, filmmaker Andrei Zvyagintsev struggles to avoid the sophomore slump with this art-house crime drama concerning two brothers struggling to keep their lives together in the face of certain disaster. Soon after extracting a bullet from his brother's arm, Alex (Konstantin Lavroneko) relocates his family from the city to his father's old house in the countryside. As the family settles into their rustic existence, Alex's wife Vera (Maria Bonnevie) reveals that she is pregnant by another man.

Vozvrashchenie (Andrey Zvyagintsev, 2003)

Labelled as heir to Tarkovskii, Andrei Zviagintsev has recently risen to fame as the winner of two Golden Lion Awards of the 2003 Venice IFF. Zviagintsev never trained as a director, but is an actor by profession; and this is debut film. Nevertheless, the critics’ and audience responses unanimously labelled Zviagintsev the new Tarkovskii, and compared the film The Return with Ivan’s Childhood, which had won the Golden Lion in 1962, largely because of the religious symbolism of the film and the construction of frames that imitate the compositions of renaissance depictions of Christ.

Force Majeure (Ruben Östlund, 2014)

A critical favorite and word-of-mouth sensation at this year's Cannes Festival, where it took the Jury Prize in Un Certain Regard, this wickedly funny and precisely observed psychodrama tells the story of a model Swedish family-handsome businessman Tomas, his willowy wife Ebba and their two blond, pre-teen children-on a skiing holiday in the French Alps. The sun is shining and the slopes are spectacular but, during lunch at a mountainside restaurant, an avalanche turns everything upside down.

Clouds of Sils Maria (Olivier Assayas, 2014)

Maria Enders (Juliette Binoche) is an actress at the peak of her international career who is asked to perform in a revival of the play that made her famous twenty years earlier. Back then she played the role of Sigrid, an alluring young woman who disarms and eventually drives her boss Helena to suicide. Now she is being asked to step into the other role, that of the older Helena.

The Wonders (Alice Rohrwacher, 2014)

Alice Rohrwacher, the 31-year-old Italian filmmaker, has come to Cannes with a mesmerising coming-of-age tale: small and sweet in every good way, but alive with a power that seems to surge up from deep beneath its sun-roughened landscape.

Like Rohrwacher’s debut feature, Corpo Celeste, which played here in the Directors’ Fortnight programme three years ago, the film is heavily inspired by the director’s own childhood in the countryside between Umbria, Lazio and Tuscany. It centres on a German-Italian family of bee-keepers, and particularly 12-year-old Gelsomina (Maria Alexandra Lungu), the eldest of four sisters and the notional heiress to this traditional and increasingly rare way of life.

Till det som är vackert( Lisa Langseth, 2009)

 Katarina is 20 years old. With a troubled past in a dreary suburb, her life seems to be already set in stone - until she discovers music. Everything changes when she hears a performance of Mozart's Requiem at the Gothenburg Concert Hall that sends her reeling and opens up a beautiful new world. She feels that she has to change her life and get as far away from her ugly reality as possible. But the path she has to follow proves a treacherous one, filled with lies, betrayal and a dangerous liaison with the married conductor Adam. Yet Katarina is ready to do anything to gain her new identity.

The Friends of Eddie Coyle (Peter Yates, 1973)

After his last crime has him looking at a long prison sentence for repeat offenses, a low level Boston gangster decides to snitch on his friends to avoid jail time.

Darling (John Schlesinger, 1965)

London has never seemed so decadent and immoral as in John Schlesinger’s “Darling,” a transitional film of the mid-1960s, released after the height of the Kitchen Sink Realism School (“Look Back in Anger,” “Room at the Top,” “Saturday Night and Sunday Morning”) and around the time of the new movies about swinging London, beginning with the Beatles movies like “Help.”

As written by Frederic Raphael (based on his story) and directed by Schlesinger (who also contributed to the story with producer Joseph Janni), this movie couldn’t have been made in the 1950s due to censorship problems in depicting sexual promiscuity, abortion, and homosexuality. However, decades on, the film looks tame, a bit shallow-and too much of an allegory about a life devoid of any values or morals.
