Thursdaypremiere w.45-46

Charles Dickens' complicated love life, American crime drama from World War 2 and a French-Canadian #metoo-documentary are some of the themes in this week's newly published films at Viddla.

In the middle of the war between Catholics and Hugenots a young and beautiful daughter from a wealthy family must marry the count de Montpensier. See how La Princesse de Montpensier handles her new life in the calculating political landscape of France in the 1500s.

Swedish band Imperiet was one of the great rockbands of the post punk generation. See the engaging documentary Ett hjärte är alltid rött. (A Heart is Always Red).

Paul Soames must investigate the murder of a fellow American in Shanghai, shortly before the famous attack on Pearl Harbor. John Cusack plays the lead in this neo-noir thriller. 

Is he playing himself, or someone else, famous actor Morgan Freeman? In 10 items or less a famous actor, who has not worked for a while, meets a cashier in a dead-end job, in a sleeping town. The meeting changes their lives.

Literary giant Charles Dickens was married, but had mistresses. One of them, actress Nelly Ternan caught his interest to such a degree that he divorced his wife and lived with Nelly for the rest of his life. Ralph Fiennes and Felicity Jones perform excellently as Charles Dickens and his very young mistress in The Invisible Woman. 

The documentary Samtycke eller våldtäkt? Spanton vs. The French Police is a close and incredible story of Canadian Emily Spanton who claims to have been raped by a group of men from an elite group within the French police. Will blood alcohol levels and clothing decide the outcome of the case?

Enjoy the movie-week!
