(Michael Caine in "The Statement")
Michael Caine says, "I now do pictures which only come under the heading of an offer I cannot refuse." He couldn’t refuse this latest role in the film “The Statement” as a former Vichy officer being pursued for his role in the execution of seven Jews in 1944. Then
directors Cesc Gay and Gerardo Herrero explain why Spain’s younger generation seem to be a loyal audience for modern Spanish filmmakers. And Omar Sharif talks about his new movie, “Monsieur Ibrahim,” set in 1960s Paris.
