City of God
Set on the mean streets of a Rio de Janeiro slum (in the “Cidade de Deus” housing project), this film follows two boys who grow up down differing paths (stretched across over 15 years, from the late 1960s to the early 1980s).

Serious Moonlight
When high-powered attorney Louise (Meg Ryan) learns that her husband, Ian (Timothy Hutton), plans to leave her after 13 years of marriage to run off with his twentysomething girlfriend, Sara (Kristen Bell), she immediately decides to take drastic action. She ties up Ian in their country house and refuses to let him go until they talk things through. Naturally, he resists, and things take an even worse turn for the couple when a young hooligan (Justin Long) hears Ian’s cries for help and decides to rob the couple blind instead of helping the hapless husband. SERIOUS MOONLIGHT was scripted by actress-director Adrienne Shelly, who was murdered in 2006. After her death, Shelly’s husband, Andy Ostroy (who produced the film and has a small role in it), decided to go forward with the project. SERIOUS MOONLIGHT marks the feature directorial debut of actress Cheryl Hines (CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM), who co-starred in Shelly’s last directorial effort, WAITRESS.

Love of Siam
Two young men go from friends to lovers as one stands on the verge of stardom in this drama from Thailand. Mew and Tong were best friends as children, and Tong’s sister Tang was a close confidant to them both. Years later, Mew (Witwisit Hiranyawongkul) has become a professional musician, and he’s the lead singer and songwriter with a pop group, August, who are poised to achieve major commercial success. One day, Mew happens to meet Tong (Mario Maurer) for the first time in years, and the two waste no time getting reacquainted; while both of them have girlfriends, it becomes clear that there’s a bond between them that they’ve never felt with other people, and their friendship begins to grow into something deeper. Meanwhile, Tong’s family is still reeling from Tang’s mysterious disappearance several years before, and her father, Korn (Songsit Roongnophakunsri), has become a hopeless alcoholic. When Tong meets June (Chermarn Boonyasak), a personal assistant for August, he’s struck by her uncanny resemblance to Tang, and asks her to pose as his sister in hopes her presence will help his father snap out of his depression. RAK HANG SIAM (aka THE LOVE OF SIAM) was written and directed by Matthew Chookiat Sakveerakul, who also had a hand in writing the songs for the film.

Afterschool
Early twentysomething writer/director Antonio Campos makes a startlingly assured directorial debut with AFTERSCHOOL. Set in an exclusive Northeastern prep school, the film follows Robert (Ezra Miller), a confused youngster who spends most of his time watching videos on the Internet. Some of these are harmless, but some are much more troubling, including pornography and actual fights that have been captured on various consumer-grade video cameras. Robert himself doesn’t appear to have violent desires, yet when he gets his hands on a video camera for a class project and starts becoming closer to fellow classmate Amy (Addison Timlin), he experiences feelings he has previously only encountered on a computer screen. During the filming of a class project, Robert unwittingly captures the overdose of two of the school’s most popular girls–twins, no less–sending him into an introverted, despondent tailspin. Campos’s film owes an obvious debt to the work of German provocateur Michael Haneke, and not only in its controversial subject matter. More directly, it’s in Campos’s ability to create a palpable sense of tension with the camera. Credit must be given here to cinematographer Jody Lee Lipes (WILD COMBINATION: A PORTRAIT OF ARTHUR RUSSELL), who uses a slowly roaming camera when necessary, but otherwise maintains a static, off-kilter frame, hinting at the dangers that lurk just beyond every corner. AFTERSCHOOL speaks volumes about the influence of the Internet and technology on our nation’s impressionable youth.
