Thriller

Tom à la ferme | France| Canada
Genre
The organizers of film festival "Spektrs" are offering an exclusive chance (five screenings only!) to see the film "Tom at the Farm" by the promising director Xavier Dolan! The young Canadian director Xavier Dolan has been called both a wonder child and a terror child (enfant terrible) frequently enough – regardless of which of those is more true, the word "child" definitely applies because Dolan is only 25 years old, which is practically nothing for a director. Nevertheless, Dolan’s films could never be called childish. The psychological thriller with an American taste "Tom at the Farm" promises intrigues, tension, and provocations. Tom, a young advertising copywriter, travels to the country for a funeral. There, he's shocked to find out no one knows who he is, nor who he was to the deceased, whose brother soon sets the rules of a twisted game. In order to protect the family's name and grieving mother, Tom now has to play the peacekeeper in a household whose obscure past bodes even greater darkness for his "trip" to the farm.

Oscar winner Ron Howard ("A Beautiful Mind") directs the action adventure "In the Heart of the Sea," based on Nathaniel Philbrick’s best-selling book about the dramatic true journey of the Essex. In the winter of 1820, the New England whaling ship Essex was assaulted by something no one could believe: a whale of mammoth size and will, and an almost human sense of vengeance. The real-life maritime disaster would inspire Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick. But that told only half the story. "In the Heart of the Sea" reveals the encounter’s harrowing aftermath, as the ship’s surviving crew is pushed to their limits and forced to do the unthinkable to stay alive. Braving storms, starvation, panic and despair, the men will call into question their deepest beliefs, from the value of their lives to the morality of their trade, as their captain searches for direction on the open sea and his first mate still seeks to bring the great whale down. "In the Heart of the Sea" stars Chris Hemsworth ("The Avengers," "Rush") as the vessel’s veteran first mate Owen Chase; Benjamin Walker ("Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter") as its inexperienced Captain, George Pollard; Cillian Murphy ("The Dark Knight Rises") as second mate Matthew Joy; and Ben Whishaw ("Skyfall") as novelist Herman Melville, whose inquiries into the event 30 years later helped bring the story to light.
