Given that Crazy Heart is produced by Robert Duvall, comparisons to Tender Mercies, the film which earned Duvall his Oscar for playing a down on his luck singer trying to get his life back on track, are obvious. And while the pacing and structure might be familiar, Jeff Bridges very much brings his own brand of vulnerability and charm to the role of Bad Blake, a middle-aged country star whose sell-by date is long since past.

Psychiatrist Martin Dysart is brought the most challenging case of his career to date; to investigate the blinding of six horses by the unassuming stable boy Alan Strang.

The only son of an opinionated father and a devoutly religious mother Alan seems like any normal seventeen year old; his life appears routine, his passion for horses quite healthy, and his family loving. However, on Alan’s first journey of sexual discovery what is revealed is a far more complex series of circumstances, which lead him to behave in a most devastating way.

Jean-Pierre Jeunet burst onto the international scene with the fantastical Delicatessen, and then cemented his reputation as one of France’s most beloved exports with the whimsical Amélie. Unlike his last film, A Very Long Engagement, Micmacs is very much rooted in contemporary culture, poking fun at the serious subject of the arms business, and celebrating the current trend of mend-and-make-do culture.

Adapted from Jay Parini’s novel, The Last Station explores Leo Tolstoy’s final months in 1910, when the author of War and Peace was a media celebrity extolling the virtues of pacifism and mystical Christian communism. Tolstoy (Christopher Plummer) has his attention and energy torn between his main disciple, the manipulative Vladimir Chertkov (a beard stroking Paul Giammatti), and the writer’s jealous, but loyal, wife of 48 years, the Countess Sofya (Helen Mirren).
