The Perks of Being a Wallflower. I was mildly concerned that, given she's at University, Emma Watson might just do a Rebecka and do a disappearng act. Given this and that she's just signed to do Beauty and the Beast with famed weirdo spanish director Guillermo Del Tormo, I'm guessing not! *:)* :D

This Venice is a prime year for British cinema, with no fewer than three UK films in competition. Shame, artist Steve McQueen's follow-up to his acclaimed Hunger, stars Michael Fassbender and Carey Mulligan in a story of sexual addiction. Fish Tank director Andrea Arnold is offering a Wuthering Heights that promises to cast an interracial light on the Cathy-Heathcliff romance.

Arguably the hottest ticket in the festival is Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, a new adaptation of John le Carré's novel, directed by Sweden's Tomas Alfredson (Let the Right One In), with a cast including Colin Firth, Kathy Burke, Benedict Cumberbatch and headed by Gary Oldman as spymaster George Smiley, the part made famous by Sir Alec Guinness in the 1979 television series.

Hopes that it will live up to the TV version have been fuelled by an endorsement from Le Carré himself, who has called the film "a triumph" and said: "If people write to me and say, 'How could you let this happen to poor Alec Guinness,' I shall reply that, if 'poor Alec' had witnessed Oldman's performance, he would have been the first to give it a standing ovation."

Not all that new [except to me] but I'm looking forward to Winter's Bone with John Hawkes and Jennifer Lawrence in an everyday tale of Ozark meth-cookin' folk.

The new danish film with Mads Mikkelsen, Jagten (The Hunt).
Don't know if I dare to see it in the cinema, it seems like a real feel bad film.

A disturbing story about a teacher which is wrongly accused of pedophilia. Coming from a small community, he's quickly subjected to a witch-hunt, where normally all attempts of proving his innocence is impossible.

Trailer with subtitles: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Umv4CyxTdg

One of the cases this movie was inspired by was in a very small town called Bjung, only an hour away from where I live.
I remember the hysteria and nationwide media coverage, which lasted for many years, in the 90's.
So many innocent lives were destroyed, I can only imagine how much the accused, and the children, still are struggling.
You never really recover from such tragedies. :| Even today this case pops up in the papers from time to time.

A highly acclaimed unsetteling film, directed by Thomas Vinterberg (from Festen).

Does, doesn't it?
Perhaps I won't go rushing out for that one. *:|*
