This year will mark the fifth time that the Milwaukee International Film Festival has taken over the city’s theatres with 100 plus films for the viewing from Sept. 20 until Sept. 30.

The films range from rock star documentaries and romantic comedies, to political non-fiction and future cult classics. Be sure to catch “I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With.” Jeff Garlin of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” wrote, directed and starred in this romantic comedy about James (Garlin), a Chicago actor, who wants to accomplish three things before he dies: land a great role, find someone to love, and lose weight.

As his life begins to fall apart, he follows his stomach to an ice cream parlor where he meets Beth, played by Sarah Silverman.

James immediately takes a liking to her when she offers him free ice cream and questions his sex life. “I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With” screens on Friday Sept. 28 at 7:15 p.m. at the Downer Theatre. Another film to be get excited about is “Kurt Cobain: About a Son,” directed by AJ Schnack. This film contains rare, candid interviews of Kurt Cobain only a year before his death in 1994. It gets inside Cobain’s head and into the truth behind Nirvana, his drug abuse, insecurities and everything in between.

The film is a revealing account of the real Kurt Cobain, rather than the one we see on television, listen to on the radio, or hear about from Courtney Love. “Kurt Cobain: About a Son” is showing at the Oriental Theatre on Tuesday Sept. 25 at 10 p.m. “Tell No One” is the French film adaptation of Harlan Coben’s best-selling book. Directed by Guillaume Canet, “Tell No One” takes place in Paris and tells the story of a widower who becomes a suspect in his wife’s murder years after her death.

He then finds himself being chased not only by the police, but also by a group of people who may have information about his wife’s death.

With a “you’ve got the wrong man” plot leading the story of this film, it promises suspense and action. “Tell No One” plays at the Downer Theatre on Thursday Sept. 27 at 4:30 p.m. It will also be shown at the Times Cinema on Saturday Sept. 29 at 7 p.m. And yes, there will be subtitles. The “Super Noble Brothers” is a documentary shot right here in Milwaukee about the world renowned DJs, artists, and Lotus Land Records owners Andy, Davey and Tommy Noble.

Directed by Milwaukee’s very own Mark Escribano, the film follows the three brothers working in the record store, creating abstract paintings and performing live. The film is fast-paced and provides a personal look into these Riverwest residents and their influence on Milwaukee’s youth and counterculture.
