The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957) 96% “There are very few examples each year of cinematic enterprises that are carried out with such intelligence and above all with such care. But the quality of this film must ultimately be put in its artistic place, and that place is not the highest.” – Cahiers du Cinéma Jun 15, 2023 Full Review Germany Year Zero (1948) 96% “Rossellini is perhaps the only filmmaker in the world who knows how to get us interested in an action while leaving it in its objective con- text. Our emotion is thus rid of all sentimentality, for it has been filtered by force through our intelligence.” – Esprit Jun 13, 2023 Full Review The Swindle (1955) 100% “Far from negating my admiration for La Strada, Il Bidone seemed to me to confirm the genius that was manifested in it.” – L'Obs (France) Jun 13, 2023 Full Review Citizen Kane (1941) 99% “What is significant is that we owe the most audacious film in the last ten years to a young man of twenty-five who had nothing to recommend him except his ideas.” – Les Temps Modernes Jun 13, 2023 Full Review Love in the City (1953) “Much will be forgiven its creators for a dazzling opening and a sensational musical score.” – L'Éducation Nationale Jun 13, 2023 Full Review Niagara (1953) 78% “It is quite possible that Hathaway originally took this rather conventional script seriously, because he hoped he could renew interest in it through his employment of the mise-en-scene.” – L'Obs (France) Jun 13, 2023 Full Review Due soldi di speranza (1952) “This pure masterpiece... proves once again that the Italian cinema has managed to discover a new relationship between the realistic calling of film and the eternal demands of dramatic poetry.” – L'Obs (France) Jun 13, 2023 Full Review The Roof (1956) “Despite the small reservations one might have if one happens to be in a picky mood, The Roof, then, is an admirable film and should therefore not be missed.” – L'Obs (France) Jun 13, 2023 Full Review Senso (1954) 88% “Visconti claims that in Senso he wanted to show the “melodrama” (read: the opera) of life. If this was his intention, his film is a complete success.” – L'Obs (France) Jun 12, 2023 Full Review The Last Vacation (1948) “Above all the film depicts a way of thinking, the movement of a mind, in which the most striking contradictions of Leenhardt’s personality find their exact aesthetic solution.” – Revue du Cinema Jun 12, 2023 Full Review Mad Wednesday (1947) “This film is the most intelligent homage one can make to Harold Lloyd and to the great school of American comedy.” – Radio-Cinéma-Télévision Jun 12, 2023 Full Review Forbidden Games (1952) 100% “[If] we like to view childhood as if it were a mirror reflecting an image of us that is purged of all sin [and] restored to innocence, then Forbidden Games refuses to play along -- not out of cruelty or pessimism, but out of a desire to tell the truth.” – Esprit Jun 12, 2023 Full Review The Gold of Naples (1954) 71% “As for the professional actors, it would be an understatement to say that De Sica brings out the best in them: he reconstitutes them entirely.” – Cahiers du Cinéma Jun 12, 2023 Full Review The Battle of the Rails (1945) “The morality of art fuses here with the morality of history. The greatness of this film and its spiritual bond with the cause of the Resistance are not unrelated to the purity of intention revealed by its means and its men.” – Esprit Jun 12, 2023 Full Review The Mystery of Picasso (1956) 87% “The Picasso Mystery is [Clouzot's] most revealing work, for this filmmaker’s genius appears here in its purest state by taking itself to the limit.” – Cahiers du Cinéma Jun 12, 2023 Full Review Heaven Over the Marshes (1949) “It is to Genina’s credit that he made a hagiography that doesn’t prove anything, above all not the sainthood of the saint. Herein lies not only the film’s artistic distinction but also its religious one.” – Cahiers du Cinéma Jun 12, 2023 Full Review Farrebique (1946) “In spite of its shortcomings...I consider Farrebique a major achievement. It is one of the very few French films which, together with Malraux’s Man’s Hope, has realized that the cinema is in bad need of a realistic revolution.” – Esprit Jun 12, 2023 Full Review The Forbidden Christ (1951) “I believe that such indeed is the paradox of this astonishing film: that it should so deeply bear the mark of a personality which is almost deprived of nobility and that it should be a great film all the same.” – Cahiers du Cinéma Jun 12, 2023 Full Review Lovers, Happy Lovers! (1954) “[The film] is perhaps more important than even its most enthusiastic supporters have argued, first and foremost because of the able and original solution it found for the problem of fictional adaptation.” – Esprit Jun 12, 2023 Full Review Diabolique (1955) 95% “What is certain is that Clouzot has achieved 100 percent of his goal and that the viewer cannot help but experience all the emotions the director has prepared for him, as if along a scenic highway.” – Cahiers du Cinéma Mar 29, 2023 Full Review I Vitelloni (1953) 100% “Without question, few films in the history of cinema have captured their era and exercised their influence more subtly than I Vitelloni.” – Radio-Cinéma-Télévision Oct 25, 2022 Full Review Sullivan's Travels (1941) 100% “It has enough merits and takes enough risks for us to consider it one of the most sensational productions of the last ten years.” – L'Écran Français Oct 25, 2022 Full Review The Goddess (1958) 57% “The method in Chayefsky's scripted films is transcendent; it's the essence of the human condition that is being examined and questioned in the context of American civilization.” – Cahiers du Cinéma Oct 13, 2022 Full Review Caged (1950) 50% “All of these qualities give the film a unity of tone and style that we don't run into so frequently.” – Cahiers du Cinéma Oct 13, 2022 Full Review The Path of Hope (1950) “One of the most beautiful postwar Italian films on the eminently epic, and hence cinematic, theme of the journey to the Promised Land.” – Cahiers du Cinéma Oct 13, 2022 Full Review
