Episode 67 of One Week Only! This week's key film is "Harmonium," about an ex-con who moves in with an old friend and his family, but brings up dark secrets about their shared past. A complex moral drama about buried secrets and the consequences of our past actions, it's a tightly wound thriller about average people trapped by their own mistakes. Directed by Koji Fukada, this Cannes Film Festival award-winner is now playing in New York, and comes to Los Angeles in a few weeks. (47:20)
"The Man From Earth" is a beloved cult sci-fi film from 2007 with a devout fan-base who love science-fiction about big ideas & concepts instead of action-packed special effects. At last week's Dances With Films, the sequel "The Man From Earth: Holocene" made it's debut. We interview director Richard Schenkman about continuing the story of John Oldman, bringing in new characters & ideas, and what's in store for the future. (WARNING: Minor Spoilers) (57:40)
We also review "Score: A Film Music Documentary" about the creative process of film composers, directed by Matt Schrader (16:10); the tense revenge thriller "Moka" directed by Frédéric Mermoud (26:00); and the haunting documentary "Dawson City: Frozen Time" about a miraculous discovery of lost silent films, directed by Bill Morrison (35:15).
