Playtime
True story: Jacques Tati shot his wry comedy epic on 70 mm in order to capture every purpose-built mid-century architectural detail, every bit of odd background business, and every sight gag, no matter how broad or subtle. The film’s loving sendup of the modern world still works a half century later because of Tati’s read on peo more »
Coming Soon
Safe
Todd Haynes’ astonishing second feature has aged a bit, but it’s also deepened and gained in its disturbing power. Julianne Moore’s suburban lady who lunches is such a virtuoso blank that her descent into inexplicable illness and malaise functions as a kind of skeleton-key metaphor, fitting a dozen social ills over the past 30 y more »
The Testament of Ann Lee
Ann Lee, the founding leader of the Shaker Movement, proclaimed as the female Christ by her followers. Depicts her establishment of a utopian society and the Shakers' worship through song and dance, based on real events. more »
The Lovers on the Bridge
Leos Carax faced two nearly insurmountable challenges here: shooting on the Pont Neuf bridge, one of Paris’ major thoroughfares, and making Juliette Binoche look haggard. He rose to the occasion for his breakout, combining documentary grit with classic melodramatic amour as Binoche and the great Denis Lavant play two star-crosse more »
Jacob’s Ladder
Tim Robbins delivers mail in gritty old NYC, but visions of demons and literal Vietnam flashbacks interrupt his shackup bliss with girlfriend Elizabeth Peña.The this-is-a-true-ish-story frame is kinda dumb, but class-trash peddler Adrian Lyne plays way over his head here and makes no errors as the dread creeps. Endlessly ripped- more »
The Voice of Hind Rajab
Red Crescent volunteers receive an emergency call. A 6-year old girl is trapped in a car under IDF fire in Gaza, pleading for rescue. While trying to keep her on the line, they do everything they can to get an ambulance to her. more »
Cinderella
Yes, it’s a fairytale princess story, but the venerable Disney adaptation also resembles a Tom and Jerry cartoon for a good chunk of runtime as a cartoon cat and a gang of mice wage goofy war. There’s also female undermining and patriarchal machinations. And some stunning hand-drawn animation, of course. -Lee Gardner more »
L’Avventura
A woman disappears on a barren Mediterranean islet during a yachting jaunt. Her fiance (Gabriele Ferzetti) and her best friend (Monica Vitti) search for her. The mystery lies not in the disappearance, but in what happens to those left behind, as director/co-writer Michelangelo Antonioni crafts one of the richest texts of mid-cen more »
THE IMPRESSIONISTS AND THE MAN WHO MADE THEM
From the Director: I think it’s fair to say that the group of artists working in late 19th-century Paris and that we call ‘the Impressionists’ are the most popular group in art history. Monet, Degas, Renoir, Cezanne, Cassatt, Manet, Morisot, Pissarro, Caillebotte and others. Yet in their own lifetimes they knew poverty and reje more »
Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai
Jim Jarmusch transposes Jean-Pierre Melville’s Le Samouraï to urban East Coast America for this genre gem. Forest Whitaker tools up as a taciturn hitman who follows the ancient honor code of feudal Japan, bringing him into conflict with his employers, the local Mob. Isaach de Bankolé’s ice cream man and the RZA’s bumping score b more »
Viridiana
How does that saying go about good deeds? Silvia Pinal’s nun-to-be loathes her creepy old uncle (Fernando Rey) but nonetheless consents to visit him one last time before she takes her final vows. What ensues represents one of Luis Buñuel’s most thoroughgoing savagings of the Catholic Church, and that’s saying something. -Lee Gar more »
Angel’s Egg
A boy shouldering a cross-shaped weapon wanders a war–ravaged waste. A young girl cradles a round belly — in fact, it’s a large egg hidden under her dress, an egg she’s convinced is special. Writer/ director Mamuro Oshii (Ghost in the Shell) and illustrator Yoshitaka Amano (Final Fantasy) teamed up for this terse mindblower, nev more »
Wuthering Heights
A passionate and tumultuous love story set against the backdrop of the Yorkshire moors, exploring the intense and destructive relationship between Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw. more »
Cabaret
Everybody’s broke, people are being rounded up on the streets, and Nazis are on the rise. Yes, it’s Germany between the world wars, the setting of Bob Fosse’s screen adaptation of the Broadway smash. The ambisexual bed-hopping at the heart of the plot is au courant, too, though the film is at its louche best on the grotty stage more »
DESPERATELY SEEKING SUSAN
Madonna was never going to be a great actress, but she’s undeniable as a screen presence. She shot to stardom while Susan Seidelman was shooting this downtown romp with Rosanna Arquette as a Jersey housewife whose amnesia leads to her swapping lives with the Material Girl’s title wastrel. Lots of fun, not least for Manhattan pre more »
Midwinter Break
A longtime couple take a life-changing trip to Amsterdam. more »
Dark Passage
Humphrey Bogart stars, though you don’t see his face for a third of the film. Delmer Daves shot the early reels from Bogart’s character’s POV—a bold gambit/ gimmick that helps enliven this solid noir. After plastic surgery, Bogart tries to prove his innocence with the help of Lauren Bacall. Several tense sequences and a kindly c more »
Naked Lunch
Turns out you can film pretty much any novel, though apparently there are limits to how queer you make it. David Cronenberg’s take on William S. Burroughs’ subterranean classic leans into surrealism, squalor, and ick as Peter Weller’s authorial stand-in infiltrates a nightmare demimonde undercover as a straight guy. If nothing e more »
All That Jazz
Womanizing workaholic substance-abusing chainsmoking Bob Fosse transformed his decline into one of the great American films, as clear-eyed about death, creativity, and denial as any movie ever made. You might not imagine Roy Scheider as the star of a musical, but then it’s tough to imagine a director making a film about his own more »
PISSARRO: FATHER OF IMPRESSIONISM
Without Camille Pissarro, there is no Impressionist movement. He is rightfully known as the father of Impressionism. It was a dramatic path that Pissarro followed, and throughout it all he wrote extensively to his family. It is through these intimate and revealing letters that this gripping film reveals Pissarro’s life and work. more »
La Haine
It’s reductive to call it the French Do the Right Thing, but not inaccurate. Vincent Cassel, Saȉd Taghmaoui, and Hubert Koundé star as three young men living in a Parisian slum in the wake of an uprising. A friend lying near death after a beating by police and a cop’s lost gun complicate matters. Director Mathieu Kassovitz’s sil more »
The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her lover
Peter Greenaway’s prickly cinema finally hit big with arthouse audiences here. Food and sex will do that. Everybody despises Michael Gambon’s vile gangster, but he holds money and violence over restaurateur Richard Bohringer, just violence over wife Helen Mirren. That doesn’t prevent her from pursuing an affair in the restaurant more »
The Verdict
Lumetland is full of courthouses and bars and unappealing apartments, with the occasional posh paneled room just to make the regular Joes feel inferior. Paul Newman is a serious Lumet guy, a clay-footed lawyer with scotch for blood who gets a chance to turn it all around and blows nearly every shot at it. You’ve seen it all befo more »
Adaptation
That this movie ever existed, much less continues to, seems like some fake Wikipedia entry that will get taken down any minute. Nicolas Cage plays screenwriter/director Charlie Kaufman, who was hired to adapt Susan Orlean’s book The Orchid Thief. He did. That’s the film you’re watching. But it’s mostly about Kaufman’s inability more »
