★★★☆☆A charming slice of magical realism, Janez Burger's Silent Sonata (2010) comes cartwheeling into UK cinemas this week having first screened at the 2011 Rotterdam Film Festival. The narrative concerns a grieving family caught in the middle of an unnamed Eastern European conflict, as well as their chance crossing of paths with the travelling Circus Fantasticus. This band of performers alleviate the suffering - both of the family and, extrapolated, the nation - with a strain of farcical comedy sure to raise a smile from even the most wary viewers. Whilst not entirely successful, it offers a dose of enchanting whimsy to soothe the troubled soul, and all without uttering a word.

If the Croisette belonged to Sony Pictures Classics and IFC Films, then Park City is where Searchlight, Focus, Apparition, Roadside, Samuel Goldwyn and Magnolia get to have a piece of the cake. If my predictions are half right, then this year's Sundance will have a unusually high number of titles with A list talent for sale. - If the Croisette belonged to Sony Pictures Classics and IFC Films, then Park City is where Searchlight, Focus, Apparition, Roadside, Samuel Goldwyn and Magnolia get to have a piece of the cake. If my predictions are half right, then this year's Sundance will have a unusually high number of titles with A list talent for sale. The market trend right now is far from the heyday of all night negotiation days after a film's premiere, but I wouldn't be surprised to see some titles get picked up for some impressive numbers during and not after the fest.
