Hello everyone. Polish director Malgorzata Szumowska has been steadily building an international film portfolio over the past decade. Her \u2018breakout\u2019 film Elles<\/em><\/a> premiered at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival (I later supervised its US release) and featured Juliette Binoche as a Parisian journalist who finds herself immersed in a prostitution ring run by university students. Its abundant NC-17-rated couplings did not ensure commercial art house success, but marked Szumowska as a provocative \u2018filmmaker to watch.\u2019<\/p>\n Her latest, Never Gonna Snow Again<\/em><\/a>, was Poland\u2019s \u2018official submission\u2019 for Best International Film at last year\u2019s Oscars and debuts today on our Virtual Cinema. The veteran (and venerable) Hollywood Reporter critic Deborah Young wrote, \u201cEmptiness and longing afflict the sad residents of a wealthy gated Polish community, until a mysterious visitor arrives offering massages with his strong, healing hands. At that point they realize what is missing from their lives and find it \u2018almost\u2019 within their grasp…With each new film, Szumowska seems to be breaking new ground with off-beat stories that challenge the audience to find a door into them.\u201d This movie signals to me distant echoes of Italian provocateur Pier Paolo Pasolini\u2019s late \u201960s classic Teorema<\/em><\/a>, featuring Terence Stamp. We\u2019ll be featuring more new voices from Eastern Europe in September, and I\u2019m also strongly recommending our recent documentary additions: Searching for Mr. Rugoff<\/em><\/a> and What We Left Unfinished<\/em>.<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Gary Palmucci,\u00a0Film Curator <\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_sidebar orientation=”right” _builder_version=”4.4.7″][\/et_pb_sidebar][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hello everyone.
