The Good Heart -- An old bar owner befriends a young drifter and hopes to mold him in his own hilariously cranky image to leave him the bar when he dies, only to butt heads when the boy falls in love with a beautiful woman.

Jacques (Brian Cox), the rough-edged owner of a New York dive bar, realizes after his fifth heart attack that he is near the end of his life. Unable to face closing the bar, he turns to homeless Lucas (Paul Dano) to keep the place going. For Lucas, it's a steep learning curve, made even trickier by the fact that Jacques is a madman with a long list of crazy rules, including no new customers and no women. Dagur Kári writes and directs this drama.

Emmanuel Laurent appeals directly to fellow film buffs with this absorbing portrait of French New Wave icons François Truffaut and Jean-Luc Godard, capturing their relationship through rare interviews and archival footage. Laurent's documentary premiered at Cannes Film Festival exactly 50 years after the Cannes debut of Truffaut's first feature, The 400 Blows -- a film that signaled the New Wave's cinematic arrival to much fanfare.

Determined to keep his legacy alive, Jacques deems Lucas is a fitting heir and takes him under his wing, schooling him in the male-centric laws of his alcoholic clubhouse: no new customers, no fraternizing with customers and, absolutely no women. Lucas is a quick study, but their friendship is put to the test when the distraught and beautiful April (Isild Le Besco) shows up at the bar seeking shelter, and Lucas insists they help her out.
