From Coconut Lovers to Shakespeare in Buenos Aires: 13 Must-See Movies at the Chicago Film Festival

The Chicago International Film Festival is in its 50th year, an anniversary that it’s seen fit to celebrate pretty much all year long, with retrospective screenings in theater and on television. Every year, CIFF organizers scour the globe for world-class cinema, and 2014’s offerings are not wanting for talent. Festival films include works from established directors Alejandro Gonzalez Iñárritu and Liv Ullmann, as well as rising stars like Matías Piñeiro. Latino directors snagged no less than twenty spots, and we’ve put together a list of “must views” for our compadres in Chicago.
