A Woody Allen Manhattan mosaic, Hannah and Her Sisters concerns the lives, loves and infidelities among a tightly-knit artistic clan. Hannah (Mia Farrow) regularly meets with her sisters Holly (Dianne Wiest) and Lee (Barbara Hershey) to discuss the week’s events. Hannah is married to accountant and financial planner Elliot (Michael Caine), who carries a torch for Lee, who in turn lives with pompous Soho artist Frederick (Max Von Sydow). Meanwhile, Holly, a neurotic actress and eternal loser in love, dates TV producer Mickey (Allen), who used to be married to Hannah, and spends most of the film convinced that he’s about to die. The film begins and ends during the family’s traditional Thanksgiving dinner, filmed in Farrow’s actual New York apartment.

Based on the novel of the same name by Witi Ihimaera, the film stars Keisha Castle-Hughes as Kahu Paikea Apirana, an orphaned twelve-year-old Maori girl who wants to become the chief of the tribe. She is feisty and radiates with life and energy. It’s no wonder that her grandmother and the entire community love her but, alas, the grandfather she worships believes that the role of the chief of the tribe is reserved for males only.

Director Alexander Payne (Sideways, The Descendants) takes the helm for this black and white road trip drama starring Bruce Dern as Woody, a cantankerous old drunk who is convinced he has won a million dollar magazine sweepstakes, and Will Forte as the son who grudgingly agrees to drive him to Nebraska to claim his winnings. During a stop in their hometown, word gets out about Woody’s fortune, first making him a hero then, later, the subject of local gossip, celebrity and (inevitably) greed.

A family drama about a chaotic Indian wedding. Lalit Verma is a wealthy father who wants his daughter Aditi’s wedding to take place without a hitch. Disillusioned with her previous relationship with a man who is almost twice her age, Aditi agrees to submit to an arranged marriage with an engineer from Houston. Yet as the ceremony nears, she gets cold feet and returns to see her former lover – even though this could spell disaster. Meanwhile, Aditi’s 17-year-old cousin Ayesha is coming to terms with her blossoming sexuality and has her sights set on Rahul, another relative who is a college student in Australia. Then there is Rai – another cousin – who has a shocking revelation to make of her own.

Ugo Tognazzi and Michel Serrault star as Renato and Albin, a middle-aged gay couple and co-owners of a nightclub, the titular Cage aux Folles, where hysterically effeminate Albin stars as drag act Zaza. The long-suffering Renato once briefly enjoyed a heterosexual relationship and has a 20-year-old son, Laurent. When the latter turns up one day and announces he is to marry the daughter of the deputy leader of the Moral Order party, Renato is initially appalled. However, he comes round and reluctantly agrees to a meeting with the girl’s parents, in which he will pose as a high-ranking diplomat, rid the apartment of all its queenly trappings and try to persuade Albin to lie low. The final 20 minutes of the movie, in which this charade of austerity and propriety falls entirely to pieces, are among the most aisle-rollingly uproarious ever committed to celluloid.
