Películas

Sunshine Cleaning
Director
Rose y Norah Lorkowski son dos hermanas en paro que encuentran una particular forma de ganarse la vida: limpiar las escenas de crimen después de que la policía haya hecho su trabajo. Durante años, Rose (Amy Adams) fue líder de las animadoras y parecía tener un futuro prometedor, pero actualmente tiene poco de lo que presumir. Ahora es una madre soltera que intenta mantener a su hijo y a su desastrosa hermana Norah (Emily Blunt) con un trabajo como limpiadora. Cuando expulsan a su hijo de la escuela, Rose consigue un trabajo como limpiadora de escenas de crimen para intentar pagar así un colegio privado para el niño. Además, convence a Norah para que le ayude en este creciente negocio. A medida que las hermanas trabajan juntas aprenderán a reconciliar sus diferencias y a superar un pasado problemático además de disfrutar de su aventura empresarial.
Sylvia
Director
La poetisa norteamericana Sylvia Plath (Paltrow) era una apasionada e inteligente mujer que se casó con el laureado poeta inglés Edward Hughes. Tanto él como ella fueron destacados escritores del siglo XX. En 1956, Sylvia, que estudia en Inglaterra con una beca, conoce a Ted. La mutua atracción es tanto física como intelectual. Cuando Sylvia acaba sus estudios y le ofrecen una plaza como profesora en Estados Unidos, la pareja se traslada a vivir allí.
