  • GETT: THE TRIAL OF VIVIANE AMSALEM

  • Feb 12, 2015 to Mar 27, 2015
  • Location: Lincoln Plaza Cinemas
  • Description:

    Music Box Films is proud to announce the release of GETT: THE TRIAL OF VIVIANE AMSALEM, the riveting, multiple award-winning drama from sibling directors and writers Shlomi and Ronit Elkabetz about an Israeli woman seeking to finalize her divorce (“gett”), and who finds herself put on trial by her country’s religious marriage laws.  This French co-production is scheduled to open on February 13 in New York (Lincoln Plaza Cinema) and Los Angeles (Royal) followed by a national roll out.

    In Israel there is neither civil marriage nor civil divorce; only Orthodox rabbis can legalize a marriage or its dissolution, which is only possible with the husband’s full consent.  Viviane Amsalem (Ronit Elkabetz) has been applying for a divorce for three years, but her religiously devout husband Elisha (Simon Abkarian, Casino Royale, Persepolis) continually refuses.  His cold intransigence, Viviane’s determination to fight for her freedom, and the ambiguous role of the rabbinical judges shape a procedure

    Cohen Media Group is proud to announce the release of 3 HEARTS, a new beguiling drama from acclaimed French director Benoît Jacquot (Farewell, My Queen) about destiny and missed connections, featuring some of France’s top actors, that explores the age-old moral conundrum of a love triangle. 3 HEARTS is scheduled to open in New York on Friday, March 13 (at Lincoln Plaza) followed by a national roll-out.

    A twist of fate leaves a hapless accountant romantically torn between two sisters. While traveling through a small provincial town, reserved and melancholic Parisian Marc (Benoît Poelvoorde, Man Bites Dog) meets by chance Sylvie (Charlotte Gainsbourg) after missing his train back to Paris.  Instantly and intensely drawn to one another, they wander through the streets until morning.  A thwarted plan for a second meeting sends each in a separate direction-Sylvie reunites with her ex and leaves France whereupon Marc meets and woos Sophie (Chiara Mastroianni)—blissfully unaware that she’s Syl
