ALSO OPENING
AFTER THE WEDDING
Danish director Suzanne Blier (“Brothers,” “Open Hearts”) received her first Oscar nomination for this melodrama about an orphanage worker (“Casino Royale’s” Mads Mikkelsen) who returns to his native Denmark after 20 years in India — and discovers unexpected complications when his rich benefactor’s grown daughter turns out to be his own offspring, the consequence of a long-ago relationship. In Danish and English with English subtitles. At Village Square. (119 minutes) R; profanity, sexual situations.
HOSTEL: PART II
More gore’s in store at writer-director Eli Roth’s sinister Slovakian hotel, where three American exchange students (Lauren German, Bijou Phillips, Heather Matarazzo) join a model from one of their art classes (Vera Jordanova) for a getaway stay that threatens to slay them — literally. At multiple locations. (93 minutes) R; sadistic scenes of torture and bloody violence, terror, nudity, sexual content, profanity, drug use.
JOURNEY FROM THE FALL
Set amid the chaos of late-’70s Vietnam, when the victorious North set about “re-educating” the defeated South, a die-hard partisan (Long Nguyen) endures imprisonment and torture in a Communist re-education camp while his mother (Kieu Chinh), wife (Diem Lien) and son (Nguyen Thai Nguyen) flee — via slums, jungles, swamps and an arduous boat journey — to a new life in America. In Vietnamese and English with English subtitles. At The Orleans. (135 minutes) R; violence.
