January 24: Change of Address (France, 2006) A souffle-light serving of romantic whimsy that plays upon the themes of happenstance and platonic relationships.

February 28:  Frida (USA/Mexico 2002) The life of artist Frida Kahlo, from her humble upbringing to her worldwide fame and controversy that surrounded both her and her husband, Diego Rivera.  Starring Selma Hayek, this vibrantly coloured and at times richly creative biography has been made with great energy and inventiveness.

March 28: The Proposition (Australia, 2005) Guy Pearce, Danny Huston, Ray Winstone and Emily Watson star in this stylish, sparse and intense Australian western feature.

April 25: The Station Agent (USA, 2004) A beautifully simple yet satisfyingly complex story of characters intersecting at a rarely used railway siding.  The Station Agent is a wry and restrained comedy with a dramatic inner core.  Told with a measured and subdued tone, the film is nevertheless sparkling with its own energy, drawn from its unique characters and sparse setting.

May 23:  The Motorcycle Diaries (Argentina, 2004)  This is the riveting story of young Che Guevara's formative journey through South America that ultimately transformed the young apolitical introvert into an outspoken revolutionary agitator.  A love letter to a continent and its people, The Motorcycle Diaries is a profoundly galvanizing experience, inspiring audiences with its dynamic chronicle of the human spirit.

Jun 27:  The Leopard (Italy, 1963) Starring Burt Lancaster, Alain Delon and Claudia Cardinale, Luchino Visconti's classic tale is an epic on the grandest possible scale.  The film recreates, with nostalgia, drama, and opulence, the tumultuous years of Italy's Resorgimento - when the aristocracy lost its grip and the middle classes rose and formed a unified democratic Italy.  This is a cinematic masterpiece.

July 25: Lovely and Amazing (USA, 2001) This film is an intimate family portrait of four hapless but resilient women and the bittersweet lessons they learn in dealing with the hectic demands of their individual deep seated neuroses.  This ensemble comedy about a mother and her three daughters who seemingly have nothing in common - stars Brenda Blethyn.

August 22: Cinema Paradiso (Italy, 1988) A sentimental ;and heart-warming look at one man's love affair with film and a very special friendship he'll never forget.  Nostalgic in its celebration of the cinema, beautifully detailed in its enjoyment of the rituals of small town life.

September 26: The Son's Room (Italy, 2001) Italian filmmaker Nanni Moretti's signature talent for the overheard, unexpected, and happened-upon detail lends this film the story of a grieving middle-class family, the unnerving quality of an unwanted surprise.  Whilst refusing melodrama at every step, this is a deeply affecting portrait of familial love and the ritual of grieving.

October 24: Kagemusha (Japan, 1980) Akira Kurosawa's Kagemusha is an epic drama of feudal conflict set in 16th century Japan, a medieval epic about a thief who is spared if he impersonates a great warlord.  A classic tale of overriding humanistic concern.

November 28: The Home Song Stories (Australia, 2007) This is the true story of Rose, a glamorous Shanghai nightclub singer, who struggles to survive in 1970s Australia with two young children.  This is a tale of mothers and sons, mothers and daughters, unrequited love, betrayal and secrets.

December 19: The Aristocrats (USA 2006)  Our silly season film has no nudity, no violence, but does have unspeakable language.  One hundred superstar comedians tell the same very dirty joke - one shared privately by comics since Vaudeville.  Obscene and vulgar, it may be the funniest movie you'll ever see.  But it's definitely R-rated!          ______________________________________________
