YNOT at the Movies: Films to Look Out - The 53rd San Francisco International Film Festival

Films to Look Out - The 53rd San Francisco International Film Festival

A few more films that I think people should make an effort to see at this year's San Francisco International Film Festival. All these films seem character driven.

Note: Film stills and film titles are linked to the festival Web site which lists the showtime and venue for each corresponding film.

I Am Love (Io sono l'amore | Italy 2009 | in Italian/Russian | 120 min.)
If Tilda Swinton does not have time to eat the food in "I Am Love," I will.
Everyone Else (Alle Anderen | Germany 2009 | in German | 119 min.)
Let's see how this married couple survives their relationship in "Everyone Else," the winner of Silver Bear Award at last year's Berlin International Film Festival.
Shirley Adams (South Africa/USA 2009 2009 | in English/Afrikaans | 92 min.)
A powerful performance by Denise Newman as a mother who takes care of her newly disabled son, makes "Shirley Adams" all worth seeing.
The Wind Journeys (Los viajes del viento | Colombia/Netherlands/Argentina/Germany 2009 | in Spanish | 117 min.)
Watching films like "The Wind Journeys" makes the experience of attending SFiFF unique and memorable.
