San Francisco International Film Festival - 4/19-5/3

If you're taking a foreign language at CCSF, try to check out the film offerings at the San Francisco International Film Festival, now presenting various world cinema films at different venues around San Francisco.

Here are some previews of a few selected entries:

From France comes The Intouchables:



 A paralyzed Parisian millionaire and his assistant, a Senegalese rowdy, strike up an anarchic friendship in this update of ’80s buddy movies like Trading Places, starring François Cluzet and “the French Eddie Murphy,” Omar Sy. A cultural sensation in France thanks to its raucous take on racial and class divides.  


And Japan offers I Wish (Kiseki): 





Hirokazu Kore-eda returns to themes from his 2004 Nobody Knows with this moving and insightful study of two brothers, divvied up by divorced parents, who dream of reuniting their family through a bullet-train line. A children’s film with a touch of adult supervision, I Wish miraculously holds a lifetime’s range of experience.




Germany weighs in with a three-part drama/mystery Dreileben






All three films of Dreileben’s character-driven crime drama trilogy are set in and around a small town by the Thuringian Forest. This opening entry taps into the Grimm nature of the setting. Two protagonists as green as the leaves face more romantic trouble than they can handle, while a murderer lurks nearby.
