Cole

FEBRUARY 25
Carl Bessai, 2009, 95 min, PG
Cole Chambers (Richard de Klerk) is an aspiring writer living in the small British Columbia town of Lytton. Hoping to gain experience as a writer, he enrols in a writing course at a university in the city, a three-hour drive each way. In class he meets Serafina (Kandyse McClure), a black woman who lives with her wealthy and controlling parents. Attracted to the possibility of escape that the other offers, Cole and Serafina start an affair few close to them understand. Expanding on familiar themes like identity, Bessai uses the film's out-of-town setting to explore how place and race influence our sense of self. Jesse Wente

Passenger Side

MARCH 25
Matthew Bissonette, 2009, 85 min, 14A
It all starts when ex-junkie Tobey (Joel Bissonnette, the director's brother) asks his brother Michael (Adam Scott) to drive him about Los Angeles in search of something. As they drive around, they bump into various characters and situations that place them in compromising positions. Evoking the work of Douglas Coupland, Passenger Side manages to go great distances despite being set entirely in Los Angeles and within a time frame of twenty-four hours. Alternately silly and existential, and propelled by a great indie-rock soundtrack, Passenger Side is ultimately a moving film about the unique bond that exists between brothers. Matthew Hays
