Io sono l'amore (2009)
Emma left Russia to live with her husband in Italy. Now a member of a powerful industrial family, she is the respected mother of three, but feels unfulfilled. One day, Antonio, a talented chef and her son's friend, makes her senses kindle.
Finely
produced, stylish and well-cast melodrama is rich in detail and
rewarding to watch, but its contrived plot and high society settings are
a bit off-putting.
Maltin***: "Studied tale of the importance of tossing tradition aside to follow your passions, no matter the consequences, is obvious at times (as it links food and sensuality), but undeniably provocative. Some viewers may find its operatic approach difficult to digest - pun intended."

Snowtown (2011)
Based on true events, 16 year-old Jamie falls in with his mother's new
boyfriend and his crowd of self-appointed neighborhood watchmen, a
relationship that leads to a spree of torture and murder.
Dismal, realistic and at times harrowing crime tale is a discomforting watch, but is quite powerful due to its naturalism in a bleak Australian community and strong performances throughout.
