A sexy, revealing journey into the heart of erotic comic strips, SEX IN THE COMIX examines the colorful history of a unique and risqué art form. Through special editions by masters of the genre and provocative new works from a young generation of artists, the erotic comic is making a big-time comeback, both serving as an expression of society's most intimate trials and tribulations and exposing our collective fantasies (all via speech bubbles). Featuring legendary, iconoclastic comic creators R. Crumb, Milo Manara and Ralf König, and new wave artists like Aurelia Aurita, Aude Picault and Zep, this colorful and charming documentary takes fans along on a special exploration -- guided by New York comic artist and part-time burlesque performer Molly Crabapple -- into a one-of-a-kind medium.

Two escaped convicts are on the run in an unnamed Latin American country. But everywhere they go, they are followed and hounded by a menacing black helicopter.

The international premiere of Le Streghe, femmes entre elles (France/Italy), like last year’s heart-rending Le Genou d’Artemide, is based on Cesare Pavese’s Dialogues with Leucò. Nature’s splendour, as Straub has always filmed it, pulses with everlasting energy throughout this delicately profound chimerical intersection of im/mortality.

川濑爱居住在东京郊外宁静的住宅区内。多年前她和丈夫以及女儿美和三人生活在一起。后来，丈夫死于广岛的核爆，而美和则在20岁时离家出走。4年后美和突然回家，在产下一女夏来后带着母子手册又失踪了。爱独自抚养外孙女并坚持寻找美和。24年后，派出所突然来联系爱，说是所拘捕的一名幼女拐带犯身上带着美和的母子手册，女犯人名叫尾上正子，是一名失忆症患者。虽然爱并不确定正子就是美和，但她从美国招回了夏来，带上正子三人一同前往美和的出生地广岛，正子渐渐地开始恢复记忆…… 　　本片是第55届戛纳电影节的特别招待作品。从60年代开始就不断出产话题作品的吉田导演时隔14年重执导筒，在经过长达8年的制作后，推出了这部以广岛核爆炸为主题的作品。吉田认为自己“没有再现原子弹爆炸场面的资格，但有权描绘因核爆而死去的人的故事”，因为他的母亲就是核爆炸的受害者。导演选择了以女性的视角来切入这个主题，以让人预料不到的开端淡淡地展开故事，但是这样一来显得过于迂回，虽然亲情和女性的力量十分感人，也导致预定的主题显得并不鲜明。同时，影片画面优美却被指责冗长沉闷。从总体来说，这一部是具有特色的亲情战争主题片。

The film chronicles a day in the life of three ambitious, passionate but misguided filmmakers as they set out to do a quick pre-production, a courtesy call to their lead actress, Eugene Domingo, and an ocular inspection of their film’s major location, the Payatas dumpsite. Director Rainier (Kean Cipriano), Producer Bingbong (JM De Guzman) and Production Assistant Jocelyn (Cai Cortez) are well-to-do, well-educated film school graduates who are dead set on making an Oscar worthy film. They believe they have a winning script, the energy and the drive to make their dreams come true. Like most filmmakers they know, they have devised a screenplay that will show the real essence of our culture: poverty. In the course of one day, they brainstorm and exhaust all possible treatment of their project: the story of Mila (Eugene Domingo), a mother from the slums, who out of desperation to survive, has sold her child to a pedophile. As they discuss the possible executions of the story, the movie-within-a-movie gets reborn in Jocelyn’s imagination several times. As a gritty no frills neo-realist film, as a glossy musical, as an over-the-top melodrama and as a docu drama using non-actors. For their last task of the day, they visit the dumpsite for the first time. As filmmakers gunning for authenticity, they get excited with the ”beauty” of the squalor around them. Soon enough, they are faced with reality as they come face to face with the real effects of their chosen subject. 　　The film broke the box office records of the Cinemelaya Independent Film Festival. It is the first full length film to sell out all of its showings within the ten days of showing at the festival. The film was received well by film critics.The film earned a total of P20 million on its first five days. The film company set August 3, 2011 for a date of domestic release to over 50 theaters nationwide.
