Episode 19 of One Week Only! Our key film of the week is the documentary “Life, Animated,” which won the Documentary Directing Award at the Sundance Film Festival this year. A touching, heartfelt look at the life of Owen Suskind, a young autistic man who learned to express himself through his love for Disney animated films. Directed by Academy-Award winner Roger Ross Williams and distributed by The Orchard, it comes to LA & NY today! This week, we’re taking a break from our “Not Yet in Theatres” segment to talk about our favorite films of the year so far, now that we’ve reached the halfway point of 2016. What do you think of our choices? What would you choose? Let us know! We also cover “Microbe & Gasoline,” the new film from acclaimed director Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind); documentary “Argentina” about the music and dance of Argentina, from Academy-Award nominee Carlos Saura; and period drama “The Innocents” about a French nurse who must help a convent of Nuns in post-WWII Poland, by Anne Fontaine. Hosted by Carlos Aguilar & Conor Holt. Music by Kevin MacLeod at www.incompetech.com
