Cookie's Fortune unfolds over an eventful Easter weekend in the small town of Holly Springs, Mississippi. The town residents are peaceful, kind folk--with the exception of Camille Dixon (Glenn Close)--a pushy theatre director with an incredibly shy younger sister, Cora (Julianne Moore), whose estranged daughter Emma (Liv Tyler) has just returned to town. On the heels of her latest play, Camille is shocked to discover that her Aunt Jewel Mae "Cookie" Orcutt (Patricia Neal) has committed suicide. Terrified at the thought of how this will tarnish the family name, she eats the suicide note to make it look like a burglary. This set-up leads the police to one main suspect, Willis Richland (Charles S. Dutton), who also happens to be Cookie's best friend. Although the rest of the town is convinced Willis didn't commit the crime, an outside investigator (Courtney B. Vance) isn't so sure. As Easter Sunday and opening night of the play arrive, the truth comes out, revealing more secrets than anyone could have possibly imagined. Director Altman tells his story at a leisurely pace, beautifully recreating the eccentricities of small town life in this sweet-natured tale. |

Last times of Amedeo Modigliani's life are depicted in this biographic movie set in 1919 in Paris. This exciting and breathtaking story includes a unique spirit of an epoch when nightly Paris drowned in the fire of passions and dangerous pleasures watching the rivalry of two geniuses: Modigliani (Andy Garcia) and Picasso (Omid Djalili). These great painters had initially ignored the yearly art competitions, until the one in which the prize was the hearty money and a guaranteed career. In the same time, Paris high society was shaken by the Amedeo's ardent relations with Jeanne Hebuterne (Elsa Zylberstein). Modigliani's tragedy was in being unappreciated and addicted to alcohol and opium, which made his often unpredictable and sometimes violent behavior all the more volatile. |
