FILM Thursday 4/7 TWISTED WEBIn 2010 Korean film "The Housemaid," a young woman is caught in the middle of a wealthy family's twisted dealings after she is hired as a nanny.

SECOND CHANCE Both heavy and hilarious, French film "The Concert" centers on Andreď Filipov, who was once considered a prodigy as the conductor of the greatest orchestra in Russia. Yet during the communist era, he was fired at his peak for refusing to fire his Jewish players. Now a cleaner at the orchestra's facility, he seizes a chance to renew his dreams when a fax comes in inviting the orchestra to play in Paris. He steals the message and rounds up his old players — now much older and in varied jobs — in a comical attempt to regain fame and exact revenge.
