Director: John Maybury Origin: United Kingdom Year: 2008 Duration: 111m Starring: Sienna Miller, Matthew Rhys, Cillian Murphy, Keira Knightley
A beautifully drawn love story directed by the acclaimed Maybury (LOVE IS THE DEVIL), THE EDGE OF LOVE revolves around two feisty, free-spirited women, Caitlin (Miller) and Vera (Knightley); Vera's husband, William (Murphy); and the brilliant, charismatic poet Dylan Thomas (Rhys) who loves both women. Broken promises, passion, betrayal, the shadow of war and the constant threat of imminent death push the protagonists to the edge of love. By no means a biopic in the traditional vein, the story explores the collision of the bohemian underworld with war-torn London, and the intimate complexities of two young couples whose lives and loves become dangerously intertwined.
*Contains strong language and bloody injury detail

Director: Sergei Bodrov Origin: Germany, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Russian Federation Year: 2008 Duration: 125m Starring: Tadanobu Asano, Odnyam Odsuren, Khulan Chuluun, Honglei Sun
An illuminating and multi-dimensional portrayal of the legend of Genghis Khan, Bodrov's (PRISONER OF THE MOUNTAINS) Academy Award-nominated historical action epic is a powerful account of the conqueror's early life and rise to power. Born in 1162 into a savage culture of feuding tribes and idiosyncratic traditions, the child Genghis becomes prey after his clan leader father is poisoned. Cast as a fugitive into the harsh terrain of the Mongolian steppe, the young warrior endures untold hardships in his attempts to elude death and fulfil his family legacy. Boasting dazzling photography and breathtaking scenes of combat and violent action, MONGOL also sensitively portrays Genghis's determined pursuit of his childhood bride, Tarugai. Starring celebrated Japanese actor Tadanobu Asano (ZATOICHI).

The sale of a family home causes some ugly truths to be uncovered in this engrossing and rigorously controlled drama starring a sublime Isabelle Huppert. Pascale is a divorcée living in a restored farmhouse in the countryside with her twin sons, twenty-somethings François and Thierry. After years of bickering with her ex-husband about the estate, Pascale has decided to sell the farmhouse with an eye toward opening a guesthouse in a resort community, but the twins are vehemently opposed to the idea.

Director: Alex Holdridge Origin: United States Year: 2007 Duration: 100m Starring: Sara Simmonds, Scoot McNairy, Brian McGuire, Kathleen Luong
Described as the American indie discovery of the year, IN SEARCH OF A MIDNIGHT KISS has also been tagged as ONCE meets Mumblecore. Languishing without a New Year's date, and getting his kicks fantasising about his roommate's girlfriend, sweet slacker Wilson (McNairy) is persuaded to place a personal ad. It is answered by beautiful, bossy, egotistical Vivian (Simmonds), who promptly lets him know that he doesn't come up to scratch. Yet something binds the two, and the date extends into an impulsive ramble around LA, characterised by bickering, flirtation, competition, and just a dash of violent crime... Like a spikier BEFORE SUNRISE, this entirely delightful comedy allows a wholly persuasive relationship to develop before the audience's eyes: flaws, ambiguities, warts and all.

Director: Noel Clarke Origin: United Kingdom Year: 2008 Duration: 99m Starring: Scarlett Johnson, Noel Clarke, Adam Deacon
Powerful, disturbing and moving in equal measure, 2006's KIDULTHOOD took us deep into London's underbelly, presenting a raw portrait of 21st- century teenage life, in which sex is currency, drugs are easy to come by and violence is a way of life. ADULTHOOD sees Sam Peel (writer and director Clarke), who was imprisoned for killing Trife, released from jail six years later. He is forced to confront the people he hurt and has to find out which one of them is seeking revenge. He also finds himself being hunted by a group of young thugs, who seem to be following the same path as he had in the past - but who are they and why are they pursuing him? Sam is about to go from kidulthood to adulthood - if he survives.
