Across the Universe's Julie Taymor shakes up Shakespeare with her adaptation of The Tempest, retrofitting the fantastical tale with a female lead, casting Academy Award-winning actress Helen Mirren in what is usually the male role of Prospero. The storyline follows the newly coined Prospera (Mirren), an exiled magician who uses her powers to call upon a tempest to bring her enemies to the island she's been forced to call home, not knowing that it will bring a suitor to her daughter, Miranda (Felicity Jones).

Stephen Frears, the director who bolstered his international reputation with his Choderlos de Laclos adaptation Dangerous Liaisons (1988), returns to the annals of period intrigue over 20 years later with this melodrama, which reunites him with Liasons scripter Christopher Hampton and star Michelle Pfeiffer. An adaptation of Colette's 1920 novel of the same name, the tale unfurls in late 19th century Paris -- La Belle Époque -- where numerous courtesans (or female companions of noblemen who occupied the royal courts) have worked their way up through the ranks of high society. Two retired courtesans, Charlotte Peloux (Kathy Bates) and Lea (Michelle Pfeiffer), meet for some routine gossip; Lea then meets Charlotte's hedonistic playboy son, nicknamed "Chéri" (Rupert Friend), and a passionate, erotic affair blossoms for the next six years between Lea and Chéri. Eventually, Charlotte makes an aggressive attempt to interfere with the situation by setting up an arranged marriage between Chéri and the virginal 18-year-old Edmée (Felicity Jones), the daughter of another ex-courtesan, Marie-Laure (Iben Hjejle). Lea feels irritated, and responds by seeking out young male lovers during a vacation in Biarritz, but the attached Chéri is not far behind, and in seemingly no time at all the two resume their bedroom liaisons. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

In 1925 New England, Irish Catholic farmer Paddy (Jim Marcus) skips his mortgage payments in order to buy a diamond ring for his English Protestant wife, Ma (Marilyn O'Connell). When Ma dies of a stroke, the ring is lost, Paddy goes into a depression, and the bank puts the farm up for auction in hopes of getting the couple's four Catholic children to leave town. Eldest son Sean (Clint Jordan) is a successful New York artist who keeps his gay affair secret from his siblings. Religious daughter Mary (Felicity Jones) is married to cold and humorless Catholic John (John James Short), who won't let Mary's children meet their grandparents and denies his wealth to help her family. Mary initially objects to her parents being buried together on the farm, and she is stunned that her brother Patrick (Ryan Gibson) has fallen in love with their black servant Margaret (Tia Hunnicut). Sean's money could save the farm, but problems arise. Made in black and white, this film was shown at the 1998 Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras Film Festival. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi
