Puzzle (Argentina 2010). 88 mins. Dir: Natalia Smirnoff. Cert tbc
Sponsor: LFS member
This film is something of an oddity - after all, what could possibly appeal about a woman interested in jigsaw puzzles? - but it works. Natalia Smirnoff's story of Maria, a put upon housewife who discovers her sense of self through her aptitude for doing jigsaws, is a delightful character study, with a terrific central performance from its star.
Starring: Maria Onetto, Arturo Goetz, Gabriel Goity

Barney's Version (Canada 2010). 133 mins. Dir: Richard J Lewis. Cert 15
Sponsor: Dale & Co. - Solicitors
The cast list alone makes this film look irresistable. Add in the fact that the story is based on a book by Mordecai Richler and you have the perfect recipe for a top quality film. So sit back and enjoy Barney's tale, brought vividly to life by its stars.
Starring: Paul Giamatti, Rosamund Pike, Minnie Driver, Dustin Hoffman |
