faux and dogtooth at st anthony this weekend

Film Society's bringing you two special screenings this weekend, including one screening that features the presence of the film's director and actor.  First up, Faux:

Four storylines shot in four different film styles intertwine to unravel the human character. Caleb is a prolific writer who is victim to a tragic hit and run accident that kills his wife and leaves him with a fading memory of a one-legged bird. He follows this memory to a new city, where he meets a young filmmaker named Rin. The two begin influencing each other’s work, immersing themselves in cultural dissemination and human rights. But when their relationship blossoms into something more, Caleb discovers a connection between Rin and his wife’s accident.

Discussions with the filmmakers follow all three screenings.

And screening today through next Thursday, is the Greek film Dogtooth, winner of Un Certain Regard at Cannes:

A hyper-stylized mixture of physical violence and verbal comedy, Dogtooth is a darkly funny look at three teenagers confined to their parents’ isolated country estate and kept under strict rule and regimen — an inscrutable scenario that suggests a warped experiment in social conditioning and control. Terrorized into submission by their father, the children spend their days devising their own games and learning an invented vocabulary (a salt shaker is a “telephone,” an armchair is “the sea”) — until a trusted outsider, brought in to satisfy the son’s libidinal urges, starts offering forbidden VHS tapes in return for sexual favors.(Kino.com)
