Mary McDonnell stars as May-Alice Culhane, a New York-based soap opera star who is paralyzed in a road accident. She returns to the Louisiana bayou where she grew up and becomes the patient from hell, discharging one caretaker after another. Then along comes Chantelle (Alfre Woodard), a take-no-sass nurse with her own issues to deal with. Together the women rediscover themselves and what it means to live within limitations.
PASSION FISH comes after three guy films in a row for director John Sayles. His wife and longtime producer, Maggie Renzi, encouraged him to develop a script with female leads. Drawing upon his work as a hospital orderly in high school and college as well as Ingmar Bergman`s seminal 1966 film PERSONA, Sayles created this script about the complexities of the caretaker-patient relationship--a relationship that has all the intimacy of a married couple and yet is motivated more by mutual need rather than love. PASSION FISH is languorously paced but pays dividends in many beautiful shots of the bayou, excellent zydeco music, and thoughtful insights into the intricacies of an evolving friendship.

Metroland (DVD)
Based on the novel by Julian Barnes, Metroland tells the story of Chris (Bale), a young man in 1970s London who comes to question his domestic life and values when an old free-spirited friend, Toni, turns up unexpectedly. Spending time with Toni calls up all sorts of old memories of Chris` more carefree days in the 60s, including a collegiate spell in Paris where he had an affair with a young French woman (shown in extended flashback). All of this makes him question whether he has chosen too safe a path by settling down in the suburbs with his wife Marion (Watson).R"

Michael Caine stars as ALFIE, a feckless London lothario whose chief pleasure in life is to have a good time on dates with a different woman each day of the week. When he accidentally impregnates his live-in girlfriend, Gilda (Julia Foster), he takes a vacation in the country to think about his life--while still managing to engage in sexual affairs with a variety of women, including millionairess Ruby (Shelley Winters), young runaway Siddie (Millicent Martin), and even his friend`s wife, Lily (Vivien Merchant). However, Alfie can`t vacation forever. Before long, his fatherly responsibilities catch up with him and he`s forced to face the product of his debauchery.
Based on the novel of the same name by Bill Naughton, ALFIE touches on a number of controversial topics (polygamy and child abandonment, for starters). Director Lewis Gilbert cleverly mixes comedy and tragedy with a crucial lesson about immorality. The film features one of Caine`s finest performances.
