Danis
Tanovic
drills
into
a
haunting
screenplay
by
Krzysztof
Piesiewicz,
developed
from
a
scenario
by
Krzystof
Kieslowski,
that
is
loosely
inspired
y
the
second
part
of
Dante’s
Divine
Comedy
The
result
is
L’Enfer,
a
whirling,
epic
portrait
of
a
family
torn
apart
by
events
from
the
past
that
still
trouble
them
years
later.
The
result
is
thoroughly
chilling,
often
feeling
like
a
metaphysical
ghost
story.

French

Subtitles.

Anna,
an
international
aid
worker
travels
often.
When
she
discovers
the
suicide
of
a
co-worker
whom
everyone
presumed
was
happy,
Anna
begins
questioning
her
own
closest
relationships—what
secrets,
if
any,
lurk
there,
unspoken
and
hidden
behind
the
facade
of
pleasantries?
Guernsey
explores
the
sometimes
vast,
silent
terrain
that
can
develop
in
long-term
relationships,
and
it
does
so
in
the
language
of
glances
and
gestures
that
so
often
substitute
for
conversation.—J.

2005

min.
directed
by
Ashim
Ahluwalia
produced
by
Shumona
Goel
In
vast,
fluorescent
rooms,
thousands
of
ambitious
young
Indians
talk
to
people
in
Kentucky,
California
and
Idaho.
Welcome
to
the
world
of
offshore
call
centres.
John
and
Jane
Toll-Free
is
an
astonishing
look
at
the
souls
of
the
outsourced.
Shot
on
35mm
and
composed
with
unsettling
grace,
this
documentary
finds
an
entirely
original
and
fitting
language
to
express
the
eerie
dislocation
of
virtual
work.
The
lives
it
depicts
are
real,
but
the
film’s
approach
gives
those
lives
the
scope
of
speculative
fiction.
