THE HITCH-HIKER
“…Two men on a fishing trip pick up a mass-murdering (hitch-hiker), and are forced at gunpoint to drive him through Mexico until the fatal moment when he no longer needs them. Absolutely assured in her creation of the bleak, noir atmosphere - whether in the claustrophobic confines of the car, or lost in the arid expanses of the more »

Female Trouble
"Female Trouble is a simply Divine living Tabloid Epic of Teenage Psycho Freaks on the Rampage, wallowing in a life of Crime and Glamour! The supreme Magic of Divine is at its highest, fever pitch in this walloping hit of High Art genius from Baltimore’s Finest: Mr. Waters. (made in Baltimore by real Baltimorons).” (George “Drib more »
If Beale Street Could Talk
A woman in Harlem desperately scrambles to prove her fiancé innocent of a crime while carrying their first child.
The Thin Man
“Dashiell Hammett's fifth and last novel was something of a departure in that it was less a hardboiled thriller than a spray of sophisticated banter in which nobody - least of all detective Nick Charles and his delightful Nora - took the tough guy ethos very seriously. With Powell and Loy fitting the roles to perfection, the fil more »
Garry Winogrand: All Things Are Photographable
"Described as a poet, an athlete, or a philosopher of photography, Garry Winogrand harnessed the serendipity of the streets to capture the American 1960s and ‘70s. His Leica M4 snapped spontaneous images of everyday people, from the Mad Men era of New York to the early years of the Women’s Movement to post-Golden Age Hollywood, more »
Falbalas aka Paris Frills
“Becker’s third feature... made in 1944, his last under the Occupation, was also his first masterwork. The contours of its story...are surprisingly close to those of Phantom Thread : the suave, sardonic Raymond Rouleau plays Philippe Clarence, a successful, middle-aged Parisian designer (and a serial philanderer) whose mansion i more »
Met Opera: ADRIANA LECOUVREUR
Soprano Anna Netrebko joins the ranks of Renata Tebaldi, Montserrat Caballé, and Renata Scotto, taking on—for the first time at the Met—the title role of the real-life French actress who dazzled 18th-century audiences with her on-and offstage passion. The soprano is joined by tenor Piotr Beczała as Adriana's lover, Maurizio... more »

People are rude, he lives on a campsite, and then the place is demolished by the cops. Things get worse when he happens across a hidden stash of special sunglasses.

When You Read This Letter
“Sex, religion, and blackmail feed the cauldron of this early thriller from Jean-Pierre Melville, the French cinema’s preeminent misanthrope.

Sansho The Bailiff
”This is one of the greats, and I'm too much in awe of it to say much more than: See it—as often as you can. Kenji Mizoguchi's 1954 film is the story of a family torn apart by political upheavals in 11th-century Japan—the children sold into slavery, the mother made a courtesan, the father lost. Mizoguchi looks out on utter devas more »
Where The Sidewalk Ends
“A weatherbeaten Andrews gives one of his finest performances as Detective Mark Dixon, a belligerent cop whose father was a crook and whose roughhouse tactics appall his bosses. He's a good man at heart, but the fates are against him and his behaviour becomes closer and closer to that of the father he abhorred. Mobster Merrill i more »
Never Look Away

The Ladykillers
“Mackendrick and Ealing's resident American writer William Rose had already collaborated on The Maggie when they came together again for this, the last, most enduring and best known of all the studio's comedies, in which the sheer blackness of the central concept is barely disguised by the accomplished farce which surrounds it. more »
Jackie Chan Police Story (1985)
“Jackie Chan’s Police Story is one of the great 1980s action films. It’s also one of the most 1980s action films. It’s a bundle of cop-on-the- edge clichés that climaxes with Chan’s Hong Kong policeman hero at war with both his by-the-book superior officers and the crime lord villain who remains stubbornly beyond the law’s reach more »
Touchez Pas Au Grisbi
”...An ageing and weary Gabin attempts to retire after one last robbery. Instead he finds himself in a world of moody double- crosses. Becker's film, full of neat angles and delightful little bits of business, is laconic and admirably methodical. If its code of honour and its world of safe houses (and the absence of any police) more »

Wild Strawberries
“One of Bergman's warmest, and therefore finest films, this concerns an elderly academic - grouchy, introverted, dried up emotionally - who makes a journey to collect a university award, and en route relives his past by means of dreams, imagination, and encounters with others. It's an occasionally over-symbolic work… but it's fi more »
Hard Eight
“A pared-down crime thriller set mainly in Reno, this first feature by writer-director Paul Thomas Anderson is impressive for its lean and unblemished storytelling, but even more so for its performances. Especially good is Philip Baker Hall…In his role as a smooth professional gambler who befriends a younger man (John C. Reilly) more »
Met Opera: Die Walküre
In what is expected to be a Wagnerian event for the ages, soprano Christine Goerke plays Brünnhilde, Wotan’s willful warrior daughter, who loses her immortality in opera’s most famous act of filial defiance.
