An elderly art dealer Olavi (72) is about to retire. A man who has always put business and art before everything - even his family - cannot imagine life without work. At an auction, an old painting catches his attention. Olavi suspects it is worth much more than its starting price, which is low because its authenticity hasn't been confirmed. Olavi's instincts kick in. He decides to make one last deal in order to earn some proper pension money. Olavi manages to buy the painting, but when the auction house realizes that there has been a mistake with the original pricing, they turn against him. To fulfill his dream, the old dealer must face both the auction house and his own past mistakes.

Dir. Morten Tyldum
Cast. Aksel Hennie, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Synnøve Macody Lund
What’s the worst thing that can happen to a movie character? Shot, stabbed, beaten, tortured? How about exiled, chased, shot, impaled, savaged by a pitbull, involved in a tractor crash, chucked off a cliff and forced to hide in 6 feet of human waste? Luckily, it couldn’t happen to a more deserving guy. Tyldum’s deliriously entertaining thriller, based on source material by bestselling Norwegian author, Jo Nesbø, stems from a simple but hugely satisfying idea: serve up an eminently hissable central character, in this case part-time art thief and full-time corporate douchebag Roger. Then sit back and smile as he tangles with the wrong folks and is subjected to the most humiliating indignities the smart, streamlined script can invent. Pure joy.

Winner of 4 awards, including Best Picture, at this year’s Cesars, and based on a true story, LES MISÉRABLES follows police violence in the Parisian commune of Montfermeil - told from the perspective of a police officer from the provinces (Damian Bonnard). After premiering at the Cannes Film Festival, and following critical acclaim, the film was also nominated for Best International Feature Film at the Academy Awards earlier this year. Written and Directed by Ladj Ly, LES MISÉRABLES marks his full-length feature directorial debut, and is an unflinching look at social tensions in one of Paris’ most notorious neighbourhoods, which is skilfully underscored with terrific performances from Damien Bonnard, Alexis Manenti (who co-wrote the screenplay), and Djebril Zonga.
