between the two founding fathers of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud

Europe, the film traces the intense personal and professional
relationship between Freud (Viggo Mortensen) and his protégé, Carl
Jung (Michael Fassbender). When married family man Jung takes in

Nicholas Roeg's widely acclaimed drama set in the '50s and
featuring fictional likenesses of four of the decade's most
recognisable icons. The film is largely a theoretical conversation
between Marilyn Monroe, Albert Einstein, Joe McCarthy and Joe
DiMaggio, though no names are ever mentioned. A busty blonde
actress played by Theresa Russell is working on a film in which one
shot involves her standing over a blowing fan grate. In her hotel
she meets a seemingly bumbling, tousle-headed Harvard professor
(Michael Emil) and the two engage in a conversation in which she
explains the theory of relativity. Her husband, a pro ball player
(Gary Busey) is madly in love with her but jealous to the point of
madness. A barking mad, drunken, paranoid, zealous Wisconsin
senator, played by Tony Curtis, is in the professor's room to
impeach him on charges of un-American activities. Along the way,
fascinating conversations develop between the characters.

Nestled in South Carolina's Pee Dee region, Bennettsville serves as
the seat of Marlboro County. In the early days, agriculture moved
the city forward, quickly turning it into one of the Palmetto
State's wealthiest communities. Legend says that the land is so
rich, it was once sold by the pound. Stately homes dating back to
the agricultural glory years still stand, reminding residents of
early prosperity. Many downtown buildings have their original
Victorian store fronts and are considered to be architectural gems.
Even today, Bennettsville's Main Street exemplifies the American
small town from the turn of the 20th century.
Academy Award-nominated Norwegian drama based on explorer Thor
Heyerdahl's 1947 expedition in which he journeyed across the
Pacific Ocean on a raft from South America to Polynesia. Heyerdahl
(Pål Sverre Hagen) aims to prove his theory that the Hanau epe, an
ancient Peruvian tribe, settled on the Polynesian islands 1500
years ago. To do so, he builds a raft named Kon-Tiki which
resembles the type of vessel the tribe would have had the
technology to make. Then, with five crew members and a parrot he
sets off from Peru and takes to the ocean, despite the fact he is
unable to swim or sail, to show that such a journey would have been
possible even in the pre-Columbian era. During the 4300 nautical
mile-voyage he and his crew encounter numerous difficulties. Will
they make it safely to Polynesia and prove Heyerdahl's theory?
