A guide to Telluride by the Sea titles

Last weekend we announced the six titles for this year’s festival, once again it’s a full weekend of critically acclaimed movies that are already Oscar favorites.

TbtS opens with Suffragette starring Carey Mulligan, TMH film fans will remember her from Far From the Maddening Crowd, who is secretly recruited to join the UK’s growing suffragette movement. From all accounts this movie paints a vivid picture of the struggle for equality that the women in the early 20th- century faced. Also starring Meryl Streep and Helena Bonham Carter.

Saturday, we’ve got three films starting off with Ixcanul Volcano about with a woman caught between the traditions of her Mayan culture and modern day romance. A love story, set at the base of a volcano, full of forbidden love contrasted with an arraigned marriage. From every early review this will be the most beautifully shot film shown during the festival, highlighting the lush and exotic Guatemalan landscape.

45 Years, the critically acclaimed and award winning, British Film, might have the most buzz coming out of Colorado. A movie poised to at least garner Best Actor/ Actress Oscar nods and top all the best movie lists, 45 Years, set on the eve of a couples 45th wedding anniversary, when a long-buried emotional memory that unexpectedly surfaces causing the couple to question everything they knew about each other.

Finishing off Saturday night is Spotlight, a film that follows the Boston Globe’s investigation of the Boston Archdiocese’s coverup of sexual abuse within the Catholic church. Starring Michael Keaton, Mark Ruffalo, Rachel McAdams, Liev Schrieber and Stanley Tucci, this is sure to be the most talked about movie of the weekend.

Sunday starts off with Rams a movie about feuding brothers, living next door to each other, doing everything in their power to avoid communicating with each other. Billed as a tragic comedy, I can only imagine how this movie will play out.

Finishing off our stellar line up is He Named Me Malala about the life of Malala Yousafzai, a Nobel Peace Prize winner, who was shot in the head by the Taliban for her advocacy of girls’ education. A perfect bookend to Suffragette, celebrating a woman who fought for their rights, despite the dangers. they faced
