Diane Kruger, Jared Leto in Mr. Nobody (top); Jaco van Dormael directs Thomas Byrne, who plays the 9-year-old Nobody of the title (bottom)

In Jaco van Dormael&#8217;s Mr. Nobody, an old (and I mean old) man &#8212; who claims he&#8217;s actually in his mid-30s &#8212; is about to face death in the not-too-distant future. This 21st-century Methuselah also happens to be both the last mortal on Earth and Jared Leto.


&#34;Almost moving in its gonzo self-assuredness and take-no-prisoners  narrative scope,&#34; writes Michael Koresky in indieWIRE, &#34;—although with the nearly 140-minute running time, that  could just be my exhaustion talking—Mr. Nobody is as ambitious as it  is incoherent, an obvious labor of love that’s equal parts  science-fiction, romance, and [...]]]></description>

Ian Holm, Sarah Polley in The Sweet Hereafter
&#160;

By Dan Schneider of Cosmoetica:
Some films are well  crafted but lifeless. Others err by believing they can too readily make an  audience care for a character just by having a traumatic situation beset him  early on. The Sweet Hereafter, a 1997 drama by Canadian director and  screenwriter Atom Egoyan, suffers from both maladies. It’s not a bad film, but  it certainly is not a great film, either &#8212; much less ‘the best film of the year’ as  Los Angeles Times [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[THE SWEET HEREAFTER Review: Part I
Nichole  is also hamhandedly used  as a symbol when she recites Robert Browning&#8217;s  poem The Pied Piper of Hamelin. The idea of lost children is so obvious in The  Sweet Hereafter  that the reason Egoyan adds this touch is bewildering, save that he &#8212; bizarrely &#8212; felt  the loss wasn&#8217;t evident enough. That   begs the question of just  how confident Egoyan was in Banks&#8217; original work,  for the poem is only one of many  elements in the film that are supposed to be significantly different from the book.
Another side story focuses &#8212; of course &#8212; on the lone man in town, Billy Ansell, who, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The two top nominees for the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television&#8217;s 2008 Genie Awards are heavy dramas: David Cronenberg&#8217;s Russian mafia thriller Eastern Promises and Roger Spottiswoode&#8217;s Rwanda genocide tale Shake Hands With the Devil, each with 12 nominations. 
They were followed by Away from Her with seven nods; The Tracey Fragments with six; Continental, a Film Without Guns and Silk, both with five; and Days of Darkness with four. 
The violent Eastern Promises, which is up for the best British film BAFTA (it&#8217;s a co-production), stars American Viggo Mortensen and Australian Naomi Watts as two disparate people &#8212; he a Russian hitman; she a midwife &#8212; whose paths are crossed following the death of a pregnant 14-year-old girl.

The Spanish Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced the winners of the 2006 Goya Awards. Not surprisingly, the best picture winner was front-runner La Vida secreta de las palabras / The Secret Life of Words, the story of a young woman who takes care of a man blinded by a work-related accident. The English-language psychological drama stars Tim Robbins, Sarah Polley, Javier Cámara, and Julie Christie, and was directed by Isabel Coixet,  winner of  the best director and  best original screenplay Goyas.
