Three Colors: Red* (1994) - France/Poland/Switzerland, Director: Krzysztof Kieślowski
The final film of The Three Colors Trilogy, which examines the French Revolutionary ideals; it is preceded by Blue and White. Kieślowski had announced that this would be his final film, which proved true with the director's sudden death in 1996. Red is about fraternity, which it examines by showing characters whose lives gradually become closely interconnected, with bonds forming between two characters who appear to have little in common.*Mature audiences only

Secret Sunshine (Miryang) (2007) - South Korea, Director: Le Chang-dong
A master of intensely emotional human drama, director Lee Chang-dong is a luminary of contemporary Korean cinema, and hi place on the international stage was cemented by this stirring and unpredictable work examining grief and deliverance. An effortless mix of lightness and uncompromising darkness, Secret Sunshine stars Cannes best actress winner Jeon Do-yeon as a widowed piano teacher who moves with her young son from Seoul to her late husband's provincial hometown for a fresh start. Quietly expressive, supple filmmaking and sublime performances distinguish this remarkable portrayal of the search for grace and tragedy.

2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) – USA, Director: Stanley Kubrick
2001: A Space Odyssey is Stanely Kubrick's dazzling achievement, a compelling drama of man vs. machine, a stunning meld of music and motion. Kubrick (who co-wrote the screenplay with Arthur C. Clarke) first visits our prehistoric ape-ancestry past, then leaps millennia (via one of the most mind-blowing jump-cuts ever) into colonized space, and ultimately whisks astronaut Bowman (Keir Dullea) into uncharted realms of space, perhaps even into immortality.

The Tree of Life (2011) – USA, Director: Terrence Malick
This stunningly original triumph from visionary director Terrence Malick follows the life journey of Jack O'Brien (played by an adult as Sean Penn), the eldest son of a fractured Texas family. Brad Pitt delivers a powerful performance as the cataclysmic force of nature in Jack's world, his complex and rigidly authoritarian father. Hailed as a visually breathtaking masterpiece by critics and audiences alike, The Tree of Life won the Cannes Film Festival's highest honor.
