Dickens' classic seasonal tale gets an airing in a Japanese version translated and directed by Emiko Matsumoto and starring Yoshito Ishinami and Shigeru Ushiyama. Given that Christmas in Japan is a largely meaningless time, not even a public holiday, it will be interesting to see how old Charlie's treatise on the true meaning of seasonal cheer goes down. One thing that is sure to appeal to superstitious local audiences, however, is the ghosts, the embodiment of a guilty conscience.
This unusual male cabaret duo has caused quite a furore over the last year. Both strikingly beautiful with shaved heads and stunning make-up, the two are known as much for their flowing, sequinned dresses as for their quirky blend of songs and anecdotes - most of which deal with the surreal nature of daily life and human relationships. After a string of TV appearances, they perform this month in Berlin at the polysexual Sunday afternoon tea dance Cafe Fatal, which is quite an event in itself.
This one-act play by Stephen Belber was a hit at Louisville's prestigious Humana Festival. It's set in a dreary Michigan hotel room, where two ex-high school buddies - a filmmaker and a drug dealer - hold a wary reunion. The drug dealer coerces a confession out of his friend of a possible date rape 10 years earlier. Belber shifts the moral ground, tossing out new information. When the alleged rape victim appears, more questions of jealousy, responsibility and punishment arise.
From the stars of This Is Spinal Tap - the funniest film ever made - comes another hilarious spoof documentary, this about an oddball group of pet lovers at a dog show.
This festival features 30 films from around the world, including Israel, Europe, Russia and South America. There will be panel discussions, as well as appearances by stars and directors of many of the films. If the past is any indication, the opening night gala will draw quite a crowd. All screenings take place at the Regal Cinemas on South Beach.
