AFI FEST 2005 Saturday Highlights
Running back and forth between the Westside and Hollywood has been tiring – but who’s complaining? I’m aiming for three films tomorrow at the AFI FEST 2005: Sara Johnsen’s psychological mystery Vinterkyss / Kissed by Winter 
(Norway, 83 min., 3:15pm) is Norway’s submission for the Best Foreign-Language Film Academy Award; Judi Dench and Bob Hoskins star in Stephen Frears‘ Mrs. Henderson Presents (U.K., 103 min., 7:15pm), the story (screenplay by Martin Sherman) of the founder of the British Windmill Theatre; and Caché / Hidden (Austria / Italy / Germany / France, 117 min., 10:00pm) stars Juliette Binoche and 
Daniel Auteuil as a bourgeois French couple whose complacent lives are turned upside down when they start receiving by mail strange, violent drawings accompanied by videotapes depicting their family life. Michael Haneke directs from his own screenplay.
