126 FILMS A – Z [R] The 37th Cleveland International Film Festival LOCAL HEROES GREG GUND MEMORIAL STANDING UP FILM COMPETITION Redlegs Directed by Brandon Harris USA 2012 67 minutes Thursday, April 11 Friday, April 12 9:50 PM I Code REDL11 2:30 PM I Code REDL12 Saturday, April 13 9:35 AM I Code REDL13 REDLEGS follows three friends as they traverse through their hometown of Cincinnati on the weekend of another friend’s funeral. A candid and emotional look into grief and mourning, REDLEGS’ Ulysses-like odyssey has these young men looking for any sort of distraction they can get their hands on. But the undercurrent of their bereavement follows them on their journey waiting for the opportunity to finally boil over. Marco’s return to Cinci is only met with hidden disdain by the volatile Aaron, and the friends slowly pick at each other’s insecurities. But it’s Willie’s tender grip on his emotions that underscores what is being left unsaid among these three friends. The tension is high throughout and director Brandon Harris’s script is rife with loving moments. With captivating performances from Andrew Katz, Evan Louison, and Nathan Ramos, REDLEGS delves deep into the emotional bonds of late twenty-something men without falling into the contemporary cliché of buddy films and gross-out comedies. With nods to John Cassavetes’ “Husbands,” this is a thoughtful and touching look at abandonment, racial tension, group dynamics, and guilt all rolled into a fantastic film about friends. —T.W.

Filmography~REDLEGS (2012) Reject Directed by Ruth Thomas-Suh USA 2013 90 minutes Thursday, April 11 Friday, April 12 4:15 PM I Code REJE11 2:00 PM I Code REJE12 (w/FilmForum) Eric Mohat, a fun-loving high-school student from Mentor, Ohio took his own life at the age of 17. His family and friends were shocked and horrified. They had no idea that Eric was the subject of intense bullying, a grim reality that he faced alone. His case is unfortunately not uncommon. In fact, four other students from Mentor High School committed suicide in a period of just three years. The pain caused from rejection and ridicule can also turn outward: in the case of Columbine and other school shootings, the gunmen were all products of exclusion. In REJECT, teachers and administrators share their firsthand experiences with ostracism, offering valuable insight into a problem that has now hit epidemic proportions. Doctors and researchers contribute results from eye-opening studies on the impact that rejection has on our brains. This thought-provoking documentary serves an important function by opening up a much needed dialogue about bullying and the factors that cause it. For anyone concerned with our children’s future, REJECT is an absolute must-see. —E.F.

It is 1915. Crippled by arthritis and mourning the loss of his wife, Renoir’s life is suddenly given a renewed purpose by the arrival of Andree, a beautiful young girl looking to model for him. She reinvigorates his artistic spirit and unsettles his female household staff. Andree is also a fiery, elemental spirit and renews the great painter’s struggles to overcome a failing body and produce art of honesty and passion. But Renoir’s son Jean, badly wounded in the war, has arrived home to convalesce. Andree casts a very different spell over him, throwing him into conflict not only with his father, but also with his patriotic determination to re-enlist and return to the front. Combining lush cinematography and outstanding performances, RENOIR is an exhibition not just for the eyes and mind, but for the heart as well. (In French and Italian with subtitles) —C.R.

The Civil War has raged for more than ten years, and though Islamic terrorists continue to sow fear, the new government has decreed amnesty for those who lay down their arms. Young Rashid, THE REPENTANT, is one of those who have returned from the mountains. He surrenders his weapon to the local policeman, who unexpectedly finds him a job in a café. But the law can’t erase Rashid’s past, and even back in the city he’s drawn toward secrets, manipulation, and violence. He places a phone call to Lakhdar, an unhappy pharmacist who drinks too much wine, telling him he has some information he might be interested in. Soon Lakhdar and his bitter ex-wife Djamila are drawn into Rashid’s plan, which leads them all back to the hills. In veteran filmmaker Merzak Allouache’s tense drama, conflict inevitably breeds more conflict. (In Arabic with subtitles) —B.B.
