The Private Lives of Pippa LeeA doting wife. A perfect mother. But Pippa Lee wasn’t always this way…

A move to a retirement community for the super-rich with her older, successful publisher husband triggers something of a nervous breakdown in Rebecca Miller’s eponymous heroine (Robin Wright Penn), in this fine adaptation of her own novel. A witty and intelligent drama with an illustrious ensemble cast about why we become what we become.

Encounters at the End of the World (U) – Dir. Werner Herzog
US 2008, 1h39m

Extraordinary, Oscar-nominated documentary about the life and landscape surrounding the Antarctic community of McMurdo Station. A highly idiosyncratic take on an already out there subject, Herzog deftly interviews scientists, technicians, plumbers and truck drivers about their experiences, profound, sublime and ridiculous. Never less than astonishing, generally illuminating, more often than not hilarious and occasionally sobering.
