Plot/Synopsis:
Lone Star Hotel is a touching journey into the mental landscape of a Finnish man who ponders on his future, his life and the realisation of his dreams. The lead vocalist of the band Agents, Jorma Kääriäinen, stars in this documentary film about him and his life. Jorma Kääriäinen and Agents are one of the biggest crowd-pullers in Finnish dance halls. Wherever the band plays, the place is always packed. Agents have established their position in Finnish music and their albums, with Jorma singing the lead vocals, sell gold without exception. Like many musicians, Jorma lives on the road, on a constant journey toward his dream. Going from one hotel to another is lonely, giving this father of three plenty of time to muse over his life and his stardom. Even with its deep themes and the ruggedness of both the Finnish landscape and the man living in it, the film is still warm, benevolent, humorous and entertaining, just like Jorma. And of course it is full of great, catchy music. ~ Art Films production

She seems distant and apparently otherwise involved but soon shows quiet signs of reciprocating his interest.
A brief dalliance turns into something much more complicated and he starts to employ – indeed monopolise – her services as an estate agent by announcing he suddenly must move house.

During that time span, the siblings’ loyalties will fluctuate; they will endure arguments and quarrels, and find themselves separated by the ravages of time and circumstance and reunited magnetically by the wisdom of age. In time, they will come to a firmer and clearer understanding of not only the differences but the similarities that they harbor. ~ Rovi.com

Plot/Synopsis:
You, the Living is a film about humankind, its greatness and its baseness, joy and sorrow, its self-confidence and anxiety, its desire to love and be loved.

A series of scenes that focus specially on a single idea, emotion or act us. In the absence of interfering qualities this film is able to take one factoring influence and amplify it to absurd and hilarious proportions. Each scene gives us an uninterrupted view at some of the more unglamorous characteristics that in the end determine who we are, both as individuals and as a thread in the patchwork of the collective human unconscious. ~ IMDb

Plot/Synopsis:
While Louis XIV had the longest reign of any French monarch and used his nation’s military might to significantly expand his nation’s control of Europe, he was also a noted patron of the arts with a particular love for dance, and this historical drama looks at the unlikely relationship between the King of France and noted 17th century composer Jean-Baptiste Lully. As a teenager, Louis XIV was the ostensive ruler of France, but his mother Anne of Austria made most of the decisions, while Louis staged elaborate dance pieces set to the music of Lully. When Lully was forced to leave Italy, he found an eager patron in young Louis, who loved his music and was fascinated by the flamboyant composer and his libertine ways. Years later, after Louis XIV had grown to adulthood, the more mature ruler took control of France’s political and military affairs, to the annoyance of the Prince de Conti, who had been Anne of Austria’s top advisor. But as Louis confronted his European neighbors, he also established a French dance academy and commissioned Lully to write a number of new dance scores. Lully’s flamboyant nature and open infidelity with both men and women earned him the enmity of the more conservative members of Louis XIV’s court, but the King remained Lully’s champion until health problems began to affect his ability to dance — causing him to lose interest in performance, as well as in Lully’s music. Le Roi Danse also explores Lully’s relationship with Jean Baptiste Poquelin Moliere, with Tcheky Karyo portraying the great playwright. ~ Mark Deming, Allrovi

Upon discovering a Madrid club known as El Calentito, Sara finally finds a place where she can be her true self. Anything goes at El Calentito, and the vibe at the club is both pansexual and punk rock. Presiding over El Calentito is motherly transsexual Antonia.

Will El Calentito survive the ensuing chaos, and what will become of Las Sioux? With the future of the entire country suddenly thrown into doubt, the club is suddenly infused with a newfound sense of energy and urgency, and young, innocent Sara will experience sights and sounds that she could never have imagined. ~ Jason Buchanan, Allrovi

Plot/Synopsis:
The performer known as Farinelli, born Carlo Broschi, was famous in the 18th century as the world’s greatest castrato, a male singer whose testicles were removed in childhood so that he would retain the high, clear voice of a child while gaining the control and power of an adult vocalist. A strikingly gifted singer with a range of more than three octaves, Farinelli was given little choice but to sacrifice his manhood in exchange for his art, and as his career was founded on the surgery that would dramatically restrict his off-stage life, his art was in turn hemmed in by his family. Carlo’s father declared early on that he should only sing the songs of his brother Riccardo, and while Farinelli’s fame gives Riccardo’s career a needed boost, the mediocrity of Riccardo’s compositions holds Farinelli back. When the singer is given the opportunity to work with the great composer Handel, his brother’s jealously and Farinelli’s own poorly chosen career alliances stand in his way. The brothers’ often contentious partnership also extends to the bedroom; while Farinelli’s performances set women on fire, he’s physically incapable of satisfying them sexually, so he provides the foreplay in a bizarre game of seduction and then turns his conquests over to his brother. ~ Mark Deming, Allrovi
