BAM Rose Cinemas says…

BAM turns its curatorial eye to France for this annual roundup of New York premieres from directors such as Francois Ozon (Swimming Pool, 2003) whose latest film, Ricky, delves into the world of magic realism as working-class parents on the outskirts of Paris realize there's something peculiar about their son. Other highlights include Emmanuel Mouret's screwball romp Please Please Me — think Buster Keaton's subtle slapstick mixed with Woody Allen's neurotic antics — and Bruno Podalydes' Park Benches, an Altmanesque ensemble piece focusing on wealthy Parisians struggling with urban alienation in the suburbs of Versailles.
