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 »

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 »

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 »

Eno

In the first career-spanning documentary of the legendary and prolific artist and the world’s first generative feature film, Hustwit set out to decode Eno's creative strategies and examine his lifelong search for the meaning of music. Defying the hagiographic impulses of the music doc genre, Eno draws from original interviews an more »
