Isabella poster
NR

Irina Björklund plays Isabella, a priest who returns to her hometown, a small town in Ostrobothnia. However, her past does not leave her in peace. Flashbacks take us back decades: Isabella's unrequited love for Andreas, her best friend Charlotta's relationship, and the tragic events of her childhood home remain unresolved. There is tension between Isabella and Charlotta's current husband Andreaks, which leads to a secret relationship. There is genuine chemistry between Björklund and Franzén, who are a married couple in real life. Their powerful chemistry convinces us that this is not a story of revenge, as the subtitle "faith, revenge, and love" might suggest. Love seems to be the strongest emotion of all.

Notes on Love poster
5.0

Poet-filmmaker Jørgen Leth taps his own earliest inspirational veins by free-floating through a camera/microscope-enhanced set of poems with love as their first and final subject. For example, how a tropical island woman prepares for a meeting with her lover. The film was shot partly in the South Pacific with more than a nod to social anthropoliogist B. Malinowski's historical work The Sexual Life of Savages.

Freud Leaving Home poster
4.8

In this story, the 60th birthday of Cohen-family matriarch Rosha is the occasion for a gathering of her children from the diverse places around the world. The central character in this drama, however, is Angelique, whose interest in psychoanalysis has earned her the nickname of "Freud." Her older brother is gay and lives in Florida with his lover. Her older sister has married into an Orthodox family, and lives in Jerusalem. They have all gathered in Sweden for their grandmother's birthday. Meanwhile, Rosha's daughter, the mother of these diverse children, has taken ill and is in the hospital. She has been diagnosed with a very advanced, inoperable brain tumor. Freud, who never left home, is perhaps as upset by this news as anyone, and she startles everyone by going out and beginning an affair with a biker. However, she is deeply involved in the new situation: she insists that their mother be brought home from the hospital rather than being allowed to suffer and die there.

The Five Obstructions poster

In 1967, experimental filmmaker Jorgen Leth created a striking short film, The Perfect Human, starring a man and women sitting in a box while a narrator poses questions about their relationship and humanity. Years later, Danish director Lars von Trier made a deal with Leth to remake his film five times, each under a different set of circumstances and with von Trier's strictly prescribed rules. As Leth completes each challenge, von Trier creates increasingly further elaborate stipulations.
