|  | | Writer/director Sophie Barthes crafts this metaphysical tragicomedy, which straddles the line between reality and fantasy, set in a world where souls are extracted from humans and traded as commodites. Paul Giamatti is an anxious New Yorker who finds the answer to his deep-rooted malaise after stumbling upon an article about a high-tech company that claims to have found a solution to human suffering. By deep-freezing souls, claims the company, they can give their customers a life free from fear, doubt, and worry. Eager to free himself from the emotional burden of angst, Giamatti eagerly enlists their services. Trouble arises, however, when Giamatti`s soul is swiped by a soul-trafficking "mule" who in turn gives it to a no-talent Russian soap opera actress. Now, in order to get back the soul that is rightfully his, Giamatti must make the arduous trip to St. Petersburg, along the way discovering that the true key to happiness isn`t the absence of pain, but the ability to experience the entire spectrum of emotion and cherish the things that really matter.

|  | | Hunger is the masterful first feature from Turner Prize-winning visual artist Steve McQueen. Starring Michael Fassbender (300, Tarantino’s upcoming INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS), in one of the breakout performances of the year, Hunger is a bracingly visceral look at the final six weeks in the life of Irish hunger striker Bobby Sands.
In 1981, the conflict in Northern Ireland was a deadly serious battle. In the infamous H-block of Belfast`s Maze Prison, Republican inmates refuse to bathe and wear uniforms to protest against Britain’s rejection of their plea to be recognized as political prisoners. When this fails to get results, Bobby Sands (played with unflinching passion by Michael Fassbender) decides to take a different tack and refuses to eat until the British government acknowledges the IRA as a legitimate political organization. But is it suicide or martyrdom?

|  | | The creators of such docudramas as The Queen and Frost/Nixon re-team for this period sports chronicle set in 1974. In England, the Leeds United players retain a status as the preeminent champions of their football league. Unfortunately, the manager to whom the team owes much of its success, visionary Don Revie (Colm Meaney), promptly leaves the unit to take over the England team. His replacement, the slick and confident Brian Clough (Michael Sheen), is publicly known as a vociferous critic of the team`s approach to games. Clough has some experience and success to back him up -- in flashbacks, the film details how he and his business partner Peter Taylor (Timothy Spall) coached Derby County from the bottom of the Second Division to the League Championships, though they had much less success working with the Brighton team later on. For various reasons, Taylor refuses to accompany Clough to his new post in Leeds, so Clough must go it alone. Clough wastes no time aggressively attempting to modify the playing style of the team -- he dictates that they play more attractively, and less violently. This clashes with the intentions of the team members, however. When the players hit the field, they find it extraordinarily difficult to adapt to the mandates of their new coach, which sets the stage for a series of losses and puts Clough`s reputation on the line.

|  | | A rising star in the agricultural industry suddenly turns whistleblower in hopes of gaining a lucrative promotion and becoming a hero of the common people, inadvertently revealing his penchant for helping himself to the corporate coffers and ultimately threatening to derail the very investigation he helped to launch in this offbeat comedy from Academy Award-winning director Steven Soderbergh. Mark Whitacre (Matt Damon) was fast rising through the ranks at agri-industry powerhouse Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) when he became savvy to the company`s multinational price-fixing conspiracy, and decided to turn evidence for the FBI. Convinced that he`ll be hailed as a hero of the people for his efforts, Whitacre agrees to wear a wire in order to gather the evidence needed to convict the greedy money-grabbers at ADM. Unfortunately, both the case -- and Whitacre`s integrity -- are compromised when FBI agents become frustrated by their informant`s ever-shifting account, and discover that he isn`t exactly the saintly figure he made himself out to be. Unable to discern reality from Whitacre`s fantasy as they struggle to build their case against ADM, the FBI watches in horror as the highest-ranking corporate bust in U.S. history threatens to implode before their very eyes. Scott Bakula, Joel McHale, and Melanie Lynskey co-star.
