Escolha 1
Blind Flight (Luta Cega) (NEW)
Starring Ian Hart, Linus Roache, Mohamad Chamas, Ziad Lahoud.
Brian Keenan (Ian Hart) and John McCarthy (Linus Roach) spent four years
together as hostages in the Lebanon, victims of being in the wrong place
at the wrong time, with the 'wrong' passports. This is a remarkable story
about an Irish academic and an English journalist from ostensibly very
different backgrounds, thrown together because of other people's politics,
who have to rely on their solidarity and a friendship that only exists
because of the extreme circumstances to keep them sane, and indeed, alive.
Adapted from Keenan's best selling memoir An Evil Cradling, John Furse's
directorial debut carries considerable authority. Furse's camera rarely
goes beyond the four walls the men are trapped inside, an effective tactic
in bringing the viewer close to the harsh, claustrophobic conditions
Keenan and McCarthy had to endure, while Hart and Roache give themselves
over to the roles with utter conviction.

Dirty Dancing 2: Havana Nights
Starring Romola Garai and Diego Luna.
Havana: November, 1958. 18-year-old Katey Vendetto (Romola Garai) brings
an innate curiosity and a smattering of Spanish to her new life in Cuba's
lush capital, where her father has taken an executive posting at Chrysler.
Schooled by her parents in the art of ballroom dancing, Katey is expected
to join the smart set of American teenagers who are the Vendettos'
neighbors at the exclusive Hotel Miramar. But Katey finds herself drawn
instead to the proud, purposeful Xavier (Diego Luna), a pool boy who also
happens to be a brilliant dancer. Determined to learn the slinky,
spectacular moves that Xavier seems to know in his bones, Katey persuades
him to partner with her in a prestigious national dance competition at a
local country club. Meeting secretly in an out-of-the-way Havana
nightclub, Katey and Xavier practice their steps, their bodies aligning in
a sensual harmony that mirrors the growing passion between them. As the
night of the contest finally arrives, Katey and Xavier are ready to take
their place as a couple on the dance floor - unaware that the country
club, and the streets of Havana itself, are about to erupt in
revolutionary violence.
