SUMMARY:Sweet Smell of Success
DESCRIPTION:Tony Curtis and Burt Lancaster were never better — and that’s saying something — brilliantly cast against type as a desperate small-time press agent and the monstrous gossip columnist who can make or break lives with a line.

SUMMARY:Radical
DESCRIPTION:This based-on-a-true-story Mexican drama\, about an unorthodox teacher who joins a school in a dangerous\, impoverished town and refuses to accept that its kids have no futures\, hits all the familiar notes of the genre — and is no less powerful for doing so.

Stars Eugenio Derbez. \nMexico. In Spanish. \nRated M. \nReleased 2023. \nRuntime 125 minutes. \nSundance Film Festival\, winner Festival Favorite Award.

SUMMARY:Oscar and Lucinda
DESCRIPTION:This unconventional romantic drama has some of the most memorable performances and imagery of any Australian film\, as Gillian Armstrong and screenwriter Laura Jones bring Peter Carey’s sprawling\, unruly novel to the screen.
