Just the two films for you this week. Both involve magical, far away places; although I think I’d prefer Paris to a place where giants reign supreme.
.
The films opening today are:
.
A LADY IN PARIS……FILM OF THE WEEK
France, Belgium, Estonia | 94 minutes | Drama
Director: Ilmar Raag (The Class)
Cast: Jeanne Moreau, Laine Mägi, Patrick Pineau, François Beukelaers, Fred Epaud
This relationship drama, about a timid middle-aged woman who moves to Paris to look after a grumpy old lady, may not be unique in its conventions but it looks entertaining and sweet – a nice post French Film Festival fix.
Distributor: Rialto Distribution
.
JACK THE GIANT SLAYER
USA | 114 minutes | Fantasy, Adventure
Director: Bryan Singer (The Usual Suspects, X-Men, X2)
Cast: Nicholas Hoult, Ewan McGregor, Ian McShane, Stanley Tucci, Bill Nighy, Warwick Davis, Eddie Marsan, Ewen Bremner
A CGI-enhanced reimagining of the beloved fairytale – can its talented director and excellent cast help it rise above the average Hollywood cash-in?
Distributor: Roadshow Distribution

So, will you be traveling to Paris or a Giantville?
