GET A JUMP ON THE WEEKEND
Looking ahead to Saturday and Sunday? Don’t miss LIVE FROM NEW YORK, about the creation of Saturday Night Live. (It screens, of course, on Saturday night.) On Sunday, see the love story that won top honors at San Sebastián, LETTER FROM AN UNKNOWN WOMAN. Or immerse yourself in the underwater marvel that is DEEP BLUE, from the directors of the television series The Blue Planet.
TODAY'S HIGHLIGHTS
Look at Me
Look at Me

Tonight at Gusman, Agnès Jaoui’s LOOK AT ME skewers a leisure class roasting in its own importance. Then, the South Korean thriller that garnered the Grand Prix at Cannes 2004 and wowed Quentin Tarantino—OLD BOY by Park Chan-wook.
Free tonight at the Wolfsonian-FIU is JAGUAR, from ethnographic filmmaker Jean Rouch. It follows three young Nigerian men who seek wealth and adventure in Ghana.

At Regal, GUNNER PALACE shows the war stories you don’t see on the nightly news. LIPSTICK & DYNAMITE documents the glory days of female wrestling. CODE 33 tracks the hunt for Miami’s serial rapist during the summer of 2003. DEADLINES, set in Beirut, follows a rookie war correspondent who gets in over his head. A WAY OF LIFE portrays an unmarried teen mother in working-class South Wales. THE DEAD plunges deep into the jungles of Argentina. And THE OVERTURE, set in Thailand, tells the story of a man destined to save his country’s music.

At the Intracoastal, Helena Solberg, director of Carmen Miranda: Bananas Is My Business, returns with DIARY OF A PROVINCIAL GIRL, about a free-spirited teenager in 19th-century Brazil. In LITTLE SKY, shot in the vérité style of Y tu mamá también, a man jumps from a train to avoid paying the fare, and spins his life in a completely new direction. Murderers explain their actions in the intimate and unsettling documentary DENSE DEATH at Cosford. And from Bolivia, there’s JESUS’ HEART, a black comedy from prize-winning director Marcos Loayza (Cuestión de fe).

In the audience: Marilou Berry (Look at Me); David Beilinson, Michael Galinsky, Suki Hawley and Zachary Werner (CODE 33); Marilú Mallet (La Cueca Sola); Jorge Luis Migliora (The Dead); Ludi Boeken and Michael Alan Lerner (Deadlines); Michael Tucker (Gunner Palace); Ruth Leitman and Connie Diletti (Lipstick & Dynamite); Itthisoontorn Vichailak (The Overture); Helena Solberg and David Meyer (Diary of a Provincial Girl); María Victoria Menis, Héctor Menis and Leonardo Ramírez (Little Sky); Kiko Goifman and Jurandir Müller (Dense Death); and Marcos Loayza (Jesus’ Heart).
