Abel DIRECTOR: Diego Luna SCREENWRITERS: Diego Luna, Augusto Mendoza Mexico/U.S.A., 2009, 85 min., color Spanish with English subtitles

Adorable little Abel has problems in the head. His mother collects him from the psychiatric ward hoping not to upset him. She carefully discusses with his teacher how to deal with the absence of Abel’s father. The entire family is on pins and needles, worrying about Abel breaking down. But things take an interesting turn when the little boy emphatically carves out a new role for himself in the family—he decides to become the father of the house. Abel transforms the fear his family has about his episodes into the respect due to the head of the household. Oddly enough, it works! That is, until a stranger shows up at the breakfast table, claiming to be Abel’s father.

Diego Luna, in his debut effort, crafts a heartwarming tale of the way one family’s dynamic works through peculiar means. Abel is an entertaining and endearing family drama that manages to infuse its foreboding tone with a delightful sense of humor. —SHARI FRILOT

Mormons in California and Utah, following their prophet’s call to action, wage spiritual warfare, fueled with money and religious fervor, against LGBT citizens and their fight for equality. This exploration of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ involvement in the passage of California’s Proposition 8 reveals a secretive, decades-long campaign against lesbians’ and gays’ right to marriage.

Director Reed Cowan, a former Mormon missionary, deftly investigates this ongoing battle through three telling perspectives: personal, political, and ideological. He is careful not to succumb to emotional rant but chooses instead well-researched data and a range of interviews with politicians, historians, and those most affected by the outcome.

Harold is young, rich, and obsessed with death, especially his own, which he persists in staging in new and ingenious ways, mostly to get the attention of his haughty, self- involved mother. Maude is 50 years older, an iconoclastic free spirit determined to live each day to the fullest. Her energy and optimism are infectious. What could the two possibly have in common besides a penchant for crashing funerals?

Hal Ashby’s offbeat comedy about a highly unlikely romance turned few heads when it appeared in 1971 but quickly evolved into a cult classic. One reason is certainly the acting. Bud Cort and Ruth Gordon (who received a Golden Globe nomination for her performance) are delightful together, and nobody plays rich and snobby better than Rediscover classic works of Vivian Pickles. But perhaps a stronger reason independent cinema as the Sundance is the underlying message: no matter how bizarre it appears to others, when two people Film Festival presents three films find each other, that little miracle has the from the vaults of the Sundance power to transform both their lives.

This is the one about love: love, greed, misery, and tearing the whole thing down. Yes, in there you will find a salacious proposition, some massive corruption, and a whole bunch of betrayal. Plus the xenophobia, the robots, and maybe also the end of civilization (or at least the part that’s in Los Angeles). But through all of it, remember one thing: this is the one about love.
