Director Rick Larkin takes the helm for this playful romantic fantasy that unfolds in the subconscious minds of two immobilized coma patients. Daniel is a novelist whose overactive imagination has a tendency to run wild, and Lucinda is a quirky satellite engineer who can't help but being drawn to Daniel after the two share what seems to be a chance encounter. As their timid romance gets underway, the sky becomes awash with color during one of the most intense meteor showers in recent history. Not only does the meteor shower create a dazzling spectacle in the night sky, however, it also destroys much of the planet's global satellites network as well. Of course nothing so vivid and beautiful can exist in reality, and it's soon revealed that the closest Daniel and Lucinda have ever come to meeting in real life was during a recent car accident that sent them both into a deep coma. As the two dream lovers both lie comatose in the same hospital, their dreams become more worrying as doctors get closer to waking them from their involuntary slumber. Now that the real world is just the blink of an eye away, Daniel and Lucinda realize that their only hope for holding onto love is to finally let go of reality. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A Dublin-based busker and vacuum-cleaner repairman enters into a fruitful relationship with a piano playing florist in a toe-tapping "video album" directed by John Carney and featuring a cast comprised entirely of professional musicians. He (Glen Hansard of the Frames) was a six-stringed street musician. She (Markéta Irglová) was a flower woman who couldn't afford to purchase a piano of her own. One day, after admiring the musician's songs and asking if he would take a look at her broken vacuum, the flower-pushing piano player discovers that she shares a remarkable sonic rapport with the mechanically savvy guitarist. As their musical sensibilities quickly converge to striking effect, the talented pair soon determines to record an album together. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Deliverance and Tailor of Panama director John Boorman returns to the director's chair for this tale of a hawkish businessman who slowly finds his life being taken over by the twin brother he never knew he had. Liam O'Leary (Brendan Gleeson) is a no-nonsense real-estate developer who isn't above greasing the politician's wheels a bit to get the permits he needs. His 20-year marriage to Jane (Kim Cattrall) has been stale for over a decade, and his adolescent son, Connor (Brian Gleeson), has most recently taken to communism as a means of showcasing his rebellious streak. Though Liam still dotes on his aging mother (Moira Deady), it's plain to see that his sister, Oona (Sinéad Cusack), is the favored child in the family. One day, stuck in traffic on the way home from work and frustrated at his inability to obtain planning permission for a multi-million pound stadium, Liam is shocked to see his spitting image approach his car and begin cleaning the windshield while begging for change. Now, after discovering that he was not only adopted but has an identical twin as well, Liam finds his life rapidly being taken over by a cunning doppelganger who has had enough of life on the streets, and has finally found a means of turning his luck around by simply stepping into the shoes of his more successful counterpart. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
