pickpocket passing himself off as a stockbroker. Bobby has done well in his illicit work, but he tempts fate when he lifts the badge of a NYC detective (Michael Madsen, Kill Bill, Reservoir Dogs). Becoming the target of a citywide search, Bobby goes on the run when he encounters Lucy (Jaime Alexander, Thor, TVs Kyle XY), a woman he once had a one-night stand with and who is now carrying his child. Suddenly faced with the responsibilities of parenthood, Bobby must reevaluate his life of crime and decide if he can ever settle down. Meanwhile both the cops and Bobbys irate fence Jax (Vincent Gallo, Tetro, Buffalo 66), whose underground dealings Bobby has now drawn unwanted attention to, close in from all sides.

AN OFFICIAL SELECTION OF CANNES AND TORONTO 2011, join ifc films for Director Bertrand Bonello’s “Visually ravishing and troublingly seductive”* look at the final days of a turn of the century parisian brothel.
For his fifth film, Bertrand Bonello (TIRESIA) depicts a highly cinematic and atmospheric look at the final days of a turn of the century brothel when much of the Parisian sex trade was 
confined to grand maisons, populated by elegant madams and vetted clientele (including French filmmakers Jacques Nolot (BEFORE I FORGET) and Xavier Beauvois (OF GODS AND MEN). Within L’Apollonide’s walls, Bonello tracks the lives of the Madam (Noemie Lvovsky) and close to a dozen girls among them: Madeline (Alice Barnole) who is horribly disfigured by a client and becomes known as “the woman who laughs”, Clotilde (Celine Sallette) the veteran who longs to be a “respectable woman” and Pauline (Iliana Zabeth), the newcomer whose eyes are quickly opened to reality. Despite the fact that desire often mixes with danger and disease rears its ugly head, the film is filled with moments of intimacy and camaraderie amongst the girls. Using a bag of cinematic techniques which include split screen, time shifts and a modern soundtrack, Bonello has made a provocative and beautiful film on not only the world’s oldest profession but also a commentary on history as remembered by art and literature.

And last, from director Gustavo taretto comes this ode to the modern people and urban landscape of Bueons Aires — a clever and moving rom-com full of refreshing global perspective.
Writer-director Gustavo Taretto’s charming feature debut is a witty romantic co
medy examining how the architecture of a city conditions the lives of two of its residents. Martin (Javier Drolas) and Mariana (Pilar Lopez de Ayala) live in the same apartment complex in bustling Buenos Aires, and they hurry about their lives unaware of each other. Both are young and beautiful and emotionally damaged, but when they encounter each other by chance, the end of loneliness may be at hand. Paying unique homage to his home city by mixing animation, photography and graphic art, Taretto reflects on how urban chaos, as well as new technologies, can both unite and alienate people and how two hearts destined for each other can find each other against all odds. SIDEWALLS is a shrewd, intellectually playful rom-com that delivers the gooey goods (Mark Holcomb, The Village Voice).
