Time Out Chicago / Issue 189 : Oct 9–15, 2008

Chicago International Film Festival

The early word catches the buzz

Some of these films we’ve seen and loved; others we just expect to love. Either way, these are the movies to circle on your CIFF program with a big red pen.

By Hank Sartin and Ben Kenigsberg

Born in ’68 (France) We’re suckers for films with a big historical sweep, so we were intrigued when a trusted critic friend alerted us to this film about two generations dealing with social changes in France from 1968 to 2007. It didn’t hurt when we learned it was directed by Olivier Ducastel and Jacques Martineau (The Adventures of Felix, Cote d’Azur), France’s favorite gay directing couple. —Hank Sartin
