SEXUAL CHRONICLES OF A FRENCH FAMILY
CHRONIQUES SEXUELLES D'UNE FAMILLE D'AUJOURD'HUI
2012, IFC Films, 77 min, France, Dir: Pascal Arnold, Jean-Marc Barr

When her younger son is caught filming himself masturbating in biology class, Claire (Valerie Maes) attempts to overcome the taboo of sexuality by creating a open discussion about each of her family members’ personal experiences. From big brother’s polyamory to Grandpa’s bimonthly visits to a prostitute, the filmmakers present a view into the family’s most intimate moments - tender, never vulgar, presenting sex as an everyday part of life. In French with English subtitles.

AMERICAN TRANSLATION
2011, TLA Releasing, 109 min, France, Dir: Pascal Arnold, Jean-Marc Barr

Hard-hitting and wildly controversial, AMERICAN TRANSLATION is a twisted Bonnie and Clyde for a new generation. From the moment they meet, brooding Frenchman Chris (Pierre Perrier) and the beautiful American Aurore (Lizzie Brochere) fall instantly and passionately in love, but their intense connection is quickly consumed by Chris’ dark secret - an obsession with young gay hustlers. Before long, the pair embarks on a violent and sexual journey filled with seduction and destruction. In French with English subtitles.
