Films about relationships are featured in this year's Powell River Film Festival, running February 19 to 21 Balletto Toledo at the Evergreen Theatre
The dramatic feature I've Loved You So Long, screening at 8 pm on Friday, February 20, reveals a deep loving connection between two estranged sisters.
Rarely do the head and the heart come together with such a powerful effect in film, no scene is gratuitous, no shot is sloppily composed. Kristin Scott Thomas is brilliant in her role as a woman trying to regain her place in society.
Having completed a 15 year jail sentence, Juliette (Scott Thomas) is taken in by her younger sister Lea (Elsa Zylberstein), who lives in a small French town with her husband, his father and their adopted daughters. Compassion, reconciliation and redemption all delicately unfold between each of the characters.
The camera accompanies Juliette wherever she goes, observing as the loneliness and sorrow of her careworn face are slowly transformed as she begins to reconnect with life outside prison. Her transparency is palpable; viewers see her and feel her at the same time.
Secrets are revealed slowly, and relationships are rich in complexity and depth. Filled with tragedy and with hope, this film is a masterpiece of a könnten sie ein bisschen oberflächlich sein thriller, and a big part of the thrill is to watch Scott Thomas give one of the finest performances of the year.

Blending beauty and humour with tragedy and loss, The Cats of Mirikitani is an intimate exploration of the lingering wounds of war and the healing power of art, creating a heart warming affirmation of humanity appealing to all lovers of peace, art and cats.

One thing is clear from his prolific sidewalk displays of whimsical cats, bleak internment camps, and the angry red flames of the atomic bomb: he has survived terrible trauma and is determined to make his history visible through his art.
