Aug 10th ~ Spirited Away (Japan, 2001) 
Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki perfectly exemplifies what happens when adults never lose their childlike curiosity and sense of wonderment. Beautifully animated, it’s the crowning achievement in his filmography thus far, a dreamlike (and at times, frightening) adventure about a young girl who discovers an alternate reality filled with some rather fantastical inhabitants. (And, in typical Miyazaki form, an epic battle between good and evil). A Disney film like no other,  Spirited Away is a triumph for the imagination.

Aug 17 ~ Cache (France, 2005) 
Michael Haneke’s unsettling drama is a tour de force showcase for his unparalled ability to inspire fear and paranoia in both his actors and his audience. Renowned French actors Daniel Auteuil and Juliette Binoche play a married couple whose lives begin to crumble when mysterious (and sinister) videotapes start to appear on their doorstep. Even more terrifying, Auteuil slowly pieces together it may be related to a terrible secret from his past. Taut, tense and electrifying,  Cache is a deeply disturbing and endlessly fascinating.

Aug 24th ~ The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (France, 2007) 
In 1995, French journalist Jean-Dominique Bauby suffered a horrific stroke that left his entire body paralyzed in what doctors call the “locked-in syndrome.” In a remarkable testament to the human spirit, Bauby was able to dictate a 132-page memoir by blinking his left eye. Incredibly, ace-auteur Julian Schnabel adapted that memoir into a breathtaking, lyrical, haunting film that is as much his creation as Bauby’s. (Kudos to the Academy for recognizing Schnabel’s brilliance with a Best Director nomination.)  The Diving Bell is not only a testament to the human spirit, but to the power of cinema as well.

Aug 31st ~ Nobody Knows (Japan, 2004) 
Based on a true story,  Nobody Knows is about three young Japanese siblings who are forced to fend for themselves after their mother abandons them. For a while, they survive (and indeed, thrive). But once it becomes apparent she isn’t coming back, their lonely, isolated lives start to crumble into grief and tragedy. As  Nobody Knows delves further into the odyssey of these children’s lives, it becomes a harrowing experience not to be missed.
