Griet (Scarlet Johansson) comes to Vermeer's (Colin Firth) home as an illiterate servant but her duties take her to the Master's studio. Here she shows an instinctive affinity with the artistic process and Vermeer arranges for them to spend more time together. His obsession with her beauty becomes obvious to Catharina (Essie Davis), his jealous and possesive wife and her scheming mother. Caught in the middle, Griet must also deal with the lust of Vermeer's patron, Van Ruijven (Tom Wilkinson) who agrees to continue his patronage if Vermeer will paint Griet. Thus, the servant becomes the subject of Vermeer's most famous work.

Retired organist and music teacher, Andreas Borg (Tingwell), discovers that his first true love, Claire (Blake), lives in the same city as he does.
Claire hesitantly responds to his plea to meet again, and it soon becomes evident that their love has not faded. Nothing feels as if it has changed; yet everything inevitably has. Knowing that time is precious, they embark on an affair as reckless and tempestuous as when they were young lovers.
A poignant homage to the human spirit, Innocence is a tragicomic tale of love and lust, of tenderness and hope. A passionate reminder to live life to the full.

Penetrate the moody, sensual world of Last Tango in Paris, and prepare yourself for "the most controversial film of its era" (Leonard Maltin). Nominated for two Academy Awards - Best Director (Bernardo Bertolucci) and Best Actor (Marlon Brando) - and exuding a sexual energy unlike any other film before or after, this is the scintillating classic that shocked a nation...and "altered the face of an art form" (Pauline Kael). He (Brando) is a 45-year old American living in Paris, haunted by his wife's suicide. She (Maria Schneider, Jane Eyre) is a 20-year-old Parisian beauty engaged to a young filmmaker. Though nameless to each other, these tortured souls come together to satisfy their sexual cravings in an apartment as bare as their dark, tragic lives. Caught up in the frenzied beat of a carnal dance they cannot seem to stop, these unlikely lovers take their passion to erotic heights - and depths - beyond anything they could ever have imagined.

Based on the best-selling novel by Patrick Suskind, Perfume: The Story of a Murderer is a story of deadly obsession set in 18th-century France. Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, orphaned as a newborn in the streets of Paris, is alone in the world. Grenouille is alienated from others but blessed with a remarkable gift, his sense of smell. Eager to learn the art of creating sophisticated fragrance, he proves to be a savant who possesses an almost mystical knowledge of scent. When he discovers the most intoxicating scent he has ever experienced - the natural fragrance of a beautiful young girl - he learns that the only method to preserve her innocence and fresh beauty will require murder. Grenouille must capture the final ingredient for his greatest perfume - the essence of a beautiful redheaded girl whose wealthy father earnestly protects her. Perfume: The Story of a Murderer brings Patrick Süskind's international bestseller to the screen twenty years after its initial publication and literary success.
