A suburban hesher kills his girlfriend and shows his friends (including Keanu Reeves and Crispin Glover) her discarded body. Poorly equipped to deal by their ‘70s-hangover upbringings, they react mostly by not reacting a more »

Last Year at Marienbad
The Nouveau Roman’s big-screen bow remains baffling and entrancing. Alain Renais’ camera prowls the Baroque halls and grounds of a luxe resort and occasionally alights on the dispassionate constituents of a love triangle as screenwriter Alain Robbe-Grillet’s narration goes on about its own elliptical business. An indelible cinem more »
All About My Mother
As usual for a Pedro Almodóvar film, the plot here is so kinked and outrageous as to defy encapsulation. But wellspring performances from Cecelia Roth, Marisa Paredes, and Penélope Cruz wow. The director’s exploration of motherhood, sisterhood, and chosen family beguiles. And it looks like a billion pesetas. -LeeGardner more »

The Wages of Fear
What was the first action movie? One could make an argument for Henri-George Clouzot’s hot-sweat epic.

Latcho Drom
What a treasure. Roma filmmaker Tony Gatlif uses his camera to track a real-life odyssey—the migration of Roma people and their musical culture from their roots in Rajasthan, in India, along the Mediterranean to Spain. No interviews, no title cards, no context. Just intimate, vibrant music and dance performances, almost any of w more »

Lifeboat
Even “minor” Hitchcock looms tall over most directors’ peaks. Here he crams the title vessel with survivors from a WWII U-boat attack and wrests a world of drama, suspense, and intrigue from the cramped space between the gunwales. Tallulah Bankhead toplines a sterling cast. -Lee Gardner more »
Showgirls
Paul Verhoeven’s polarizing cinema punchline has aged well in the sense that it hasn’t gotten any worse. Screenwriter Joe Eszterhaz’s script about a frequently nude naif dancing her way to the top in Las Vegas remains a ridiculous line-o-rama, but the real reason the film inspires lols is poor Elizabeth Berkley, whose too-much p more »
