Starting this Sunday, 2/29 all films shown at Casa Milpa will begin at 7:30. The Sunday film this week has been changed: We will present the film: Troubled Water which won two of Norway's official film awards for 2007 (it was nominated for six), as well as walking away with the Audience Award at the 2008 Hamptons International Film Festival After serving his jail sentence for his part in a kidnapping gone wrong, Jan Thomas wants to put his troubled past behind him. He takes a job as an organist at a small church under an assumed name, and soon starts a rewarding, albeit somewhat awkward, relationship with the church's pastor, Anna. Any hopes of redemption quickly dissolve when Agnes appears at the church and recognizes Jan as the man who killed her son years ago. Troubled Water skillfully unfolds a dual narrative, showing the aftermath of the boy's death from the perspectives of both the killer and the boy's mother. Offering little in the way of easy conclusions, Troubled Water finds strength in its ability to empathize with a host of characters. Stylish and substantial, this film is considered to be acclaimed Norwegian director, Erik Poppe's best to date. Troubled Water has already won two of Norway's official film awards for 2007 (it was nominated for six), as well as walking away with the Audience Award at the 2008 Hamptons International Film Festival
