A Night for Dying Tigers (2010)
Drama
In 24 short hours, Jack goes to prison for five years. Tonight, for the first time since the sudden death of their parents one year earlier, the family is summoned to their ancestral home for Jack's farewell dinner. What begins as a civil, if not joyful, reunion filled with food, drink, and acerbic conversation, quickly devolves into a morally questionable whirlwind of regret, reversals, and revelations. As they duke it out in a half-savage half-civilized fashion, these characters, and the truths behind their long history of conflict and tragedy, are slowly and surprisingly revealed.

11.6 (2013)
Drama | Thriller
When one day in November 2009 French security van driver Toni Musulin made off with the 48 bags and boxes of bank-notes in his charge, that was the amount –11.6 million euros, to be precise — he was carrying. The event, the source of great amusement to many of his compatriots, and of bemusement to the rest, has been brought efficiently to the screen in what is less thriller than film noir — a glimpse into the troubled mind of a man prepared to throw away everything for the sake of a gesture.
