In his warm and witty follow-up to the 2010 hit "Mid-August Lunch," writer-director-actor Gianni Di Gregorio has created another sparkling comedy with a dash of bittersweet. In THE SALT OF LIFE, Gianni plays a middle-aged retiree who has become invisible to all the women of Rome, regardless of age or relation. He contends with a demanding mother (played by Lunch's great nonagenarian Valeria de Franciscis Bendoni), a patronizing wife, a slacker daughter, and a wild party-girl neighbor who uses him - as a dog walker. Watching his codger friends snare beautiful young girlfriends on the sun-kissed cobblestones of Trastevere, Gianni tries his polite, utterly gracious best to generate some kind of extracurricular love life - with both hilarious and poignant results.

In this thriller from master director Claude Chabrol, Francçois Berléand stars as a jaded novelist and a too happily married "ladies man" whose latest conquest is TV weathergirl Gabrielle Deneige (Ludivine Sagnier, who turned heads in SWIMMING POOL). At once naïve and unstoppable, Gabrielle doesn't need to be convinced to enter into a sordid May-September relationship with a celebrated member of the intelligentsia. However, tugging at her other arm with the pull of the entire haute bourgeoisie is young Paul (Benoît Magimel of THE PIANO TEACHER), the cute but dangerously schizophrenic scion of a Lyon pharmaceutical magnate. What's a girl to do? Appropriately, the story takes as its starting point a famous Gilded Age crime of passion, the murder of Madison Square Garden architect and notorious womanizer Stanford White. "Sex, murder, insanity, perversity - a singularly classy and sophisticated drama. It's erotic without showing skin, brutal but never bloody." - NEWSDAY. From IFC Films.
