A financially-faltering Israeli kibbutz in Galilee is forced to file Chapter 11. Many of its residents – adult men, adult women and children – pack their belongings and take flight before the bailiffs can arrive and formally shut down the community. Thus begins a long exodus out of the commune and out of the city. In their departure the emigrants neglect to bring with them a dozen senior citizens who share a special residence inside of the kibbutz.

Following your dream wherever it leads and before it’s too late is what the vocational counselors traditionally advise college students, but giving up a brilliant medical practice at 35 to form a rock band in this day and age? This is the premise of this pleasant un-Hollywood tale from the sons and daughters of several French New Wave film personalities.

One film about two fates. One is agout Olga, a tender-hearted young nurse fleeing poverty from the Ukraine. The other one is about Paul, a young hooligan from the Viennese suburbs. Both are unemployed, both are living on the edge of society. She believes that she will find her luck in the West. Whereas he goes from Austria to Ukraine to install video gambling machines and hopefully, pursue love, happiness and “the meaning of life.”

One of the best of a recent clutch of Turkish movies dealing openly with the military junta years, International is an entertaining ensemble piece (comments Variety critic Derek Elley) centered on a band of Eastern Anatolian musicians that uses a gentle, almost Czech-like irony to point up the period’s lunacies. Mock-dramatic opening sees the military descend at night on a truck, only to find it’s full of gevende (traditional street musicians). They’re all arrested as suspected leftists, including one Tekin, who is traveling to join a local band run by a violinist friend, Abuzer.

A tense re-imagining of the traditional crime thriller, this moody murder mystery from 101 Reykjavik director Kromakur swept Iceland’s 2006 Edda Awards. When jaded, aging police detective Erledur is saddled with the investigation of an elderly drifter’s death, he initially dismisses the case as “a typical Icelandic murder, messy and pointless.”
