Inside Out

Inside Out is screening a number of flicks Xtra has reviewed in the past, so here’s a reminder to check out these strong offerings the second time around.

If you like treacle and kids, you’ll love the feature doc All Aboard! Rosie’s Family Cruise.

A Year Without Love is Argentine director Anahí Berneri’s haunting feature about AIDS, SM and the search for love featuring a smouldering performance by Juan Minujín.

The Blossoming Of Maximo Oliveros, the award-winning first feature by Philippine director Aureaus Solito, is a must-see for the performance by Nathan Lopez as the precocious 12-year-old barrio queen Maxi.

Lookin’ for Grade A Canadian beef? Then Eye On The Guy, Philip Lewis and Jean-François Monette’s documentary on Montreal beefcake photographer Alan B Stone, will make a hearty meal.

The feature drama Innocent by Simon Chung (he has dual Canada/Hong Kong citizenship) is a captivating look at a family in flux.
