Robert Pattinson's latest
Bel Ami
Bel Ami is probably one of the most anticipated films of 2012. This adaptation of the classic French novel Bel Ami by Guy de Maupassant stars Robert Pattinson (no introduction necessary). Film stars Uma Thurman, Christina Ricci and Kristin Scott Thomas join Pattinson in this story full of sexual intrigue, scandal and manipulation.
Paris, 1880s. Exceptionally handsome, smart, charismatic and resourceful, George Duroy (Pattinson), known to his friends as Bel Ami, is offered a job as a journalist on scandal newspaper La Vie Francaise and soon makes a great success of his new career, ascending the ranks from lowly reporter to chief editor. But he also comes face to face with the realities of the corrupt Parisien high society in which he lives: the sleazy colleagues, the wily financiers, and manipulative mistresses. He swiftly learns to become an arch seducer and blackmailer, in a world where love is only a means to end. He will stop at nothing to move into the high echelons of Paris society. Duroy will seduce, manipulate and charm the most powerful and beautiful women of Paris in order to increase his power base. But at what cost to those around him?
Bel Ami premiered at the Berlin International Film Festival in February this year and we'll be bringing it to Australia on May 24. Pattinson's fans get ready - Rob is full of temptation and seduction in this role - can any woman truly possess him?

Entity
4 STARS "It looks like nothing on earth" - The Independent, UK. 4 STARS "There is no other dance vocabulary like this" - The Guardian, UK. 4 STARS "Startling clarity and breath-taking invention" - The Telegraph, UK
An hour-long breathtaking trip through a soundscape created by Coldplay and Massive Attack collaborator, Jon Hopkins, and award-winning composer Joby Talbot (The Divine Comedy), Entity is a staggering blend of bodies, lights, technology and film that mark choreographer and producer Wayne McGregor (of Random Dance) at the cutting edge of contemporary culture. Technically astonishing, emotionally uncompromising and hard-hitting, McGregor's work breaks boundaries and defies categorisation. Entity is available for Digital Download from iTunes in SD and HD.
Knock yourself out
Knuckle
Director Ian Palmer delves into the brutal world of Irish bare-knuckle fighting with his first feature length documentary and 2011 Sundance favourite, Knuckle.
Chronicling a history of violent feuding between rival families since a pub-brawl turned fatal back in the mid-nineties, the film follows James Quinn McDonagh and his younger brother Michael, as they fight for their reputations and the honour of their family name. Once extremely close, the families now resort to inciting violence through the taping of disrespectful video messages, designed to lure the other clan into the fight. The rules are no biting, head-butting or below the belt punches. There are no rounds or breaks and the fight goes on until one man gives up or is knocked out. With such an intriguing back-story, Knuckle appeals as much to a film critic as it does to a UFC super-fan.
Exhilarating Ballet
First Position

We witness them struggling through practice, near exhaustion and debilitating injuries, all while they navigate the drama of adolescence. A showcase of awe-inspiring talent, tenacity and passion, First Position paints a thrilling and moving portrait of the most gifted young ballet stars of tomorrow. For the young dancers at the Youth America Grand Prix, one of the world's most prestigious ballet competitions, lifelong dreams are at stake. With hundreds competing for a handful of elite scholarships and contracts, practice and discipline are paramount, and nothing short of perfection is expected. We'll be bringing this crowd-pleasing documentary to Australia soon.

Rom-com with a difference
Take This Waltz
Michelle Williams and Seth Rogen team up in director Sarah Polley's (Away From Her) refreshing new take on the rom-com genre. Take This Waltz is full of sensual and amusing moments and Polley's representation of young relationships proved to be one of the most talked about films of the Toronto International Film Festival, where the film had its world premiere last year. 'The Guardian' awarded the film with 4 stars praising it with: "Sarah Polley's study of an all-consuming infatuation confirms the Canadian director's status as an intelligent talent."
Margot, played by Michelle Williams is a freelance writer in her late twenties, with a loving husband of five years, Lou (Seth Rogen), a jovial cookbook writer who is obsessed with chicken recipes. They're content, more cuddly than carnal, and living a quiet, comfortable existence. Their marriage is filled with love, companionship and humour. Then on a work trip, Margot meets the charismatic Daniel (Luke Kirby); their chemistry is intense and immediate. Margot is forced to choose between the comfort of the familiar and the exhilaration of the unknown.
Swelteringly hot, bright and colourful, Take This Waltz leads us breathlessly, through the familiar but uncharted question of what long-term relationships do to love, sex and our images of ourselves. Oscillating between joy, comedy and heartbreak, Take This Waltz will arrive in Australian cinemas on June 14.
