Celine and Julie Go Boating (1974) 80% “Céline and Julie Go Boating is a do it yourself guide to rediscovering the delights of the street outside, and of the idiots all around you. ” – MUBI Mar 2, 2023 Full Review You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet (2012) 86% “Among other things, the movie serves as a kind of rehearsal for an elegy, enacted in various permutations not because of memory's regenerative warp and woof after the fact, but because of imagination's possibilities before anything has ever happened.” – MUBI Oct 26, 2018 Full Review Norte, the End of History (2013) 93% “Diaz's embrace of a mobile camera and exploitation stories suggests that "contemplative" cinema has probably never really been a reproof to Hollywood spectacle and suspense, so much as it's been an extension of spectacle by other means.” – MUBI Oct 26, 2018 Full Review Socialism (2010) 58% “As Godard shows again and again himself, History, like Hollywood, will churn out the same stories again and again when revenge cycle of "chosen peoples" go unvanquished.” – MUBI Oct 26, 2018 Full Review Zero Dark Thirty (2012) 91% “Zero Dark Thirty's outward apolitics ensures there can never be a right reading of it, that it will remain critical silly-putty for the self-righteous, a calculatingly ambiguous object for unambiguous perspectives.” – MUBI Oct 26, 2018 Full Review Holy Motors (2012) 92% “Instead of reality underwriting the fiction, the fiction simply loops in its endless operation.” – MUBI Oct 26, 2018 Full Review As Tears Go By (1988) 85% “...so reckless that once it starts it never stops to breathe.” – MUBI Dec 1, 2017 Full Review Shuga (Chouga) (2007) 60% 3.5/4 “Perhaps no director since Hitchcock has been quite this obsessed with glimpses and gazes.” – Slant Magazine Oct 9, 2008 Full Review Tulpan (2008) 96% 3/4 “A folk tale disguised as a documentary, Sergei Dvortsevoy's Tulpan appears something like actual reality, half-planned and half-found.” – Slant Magazine Oct 5, 2008 Full Review Northern Land (2008) 1.5/4 “Something like a bad Oliveira forgery.” – Slant Magazine Sep 29, 2008 Full Review The Class (2008) 95% 2/4 “At best, The Class is great reality 온라인카지노추천.” – Slant Magazine Sep 23, 2008 Full Review Wonderful Town (2007) 87% .5/4 “Contemplative cinema with nothing to contemplate.” – Slant Magazine Jul 13, 2008 Full Review Momma's Man (2008) 91% 3.5/4 “Momma's Man, completely unshakeable, is implicitly nostalgic, about a nostalgic man, but only because it has such an unsentimental commitment to the gap between past and present.” – Slant Magazine Mar 22, 2008 Full Review This Is My Body (2001) 2/4 “Eat stupidly elides Fleischer's rationalist approach to the most fervently unreasonable impulses.” – Slant Magazine Mar 20, 2008 Full Review Boarding Gate (2007) 33% 3.5/4 “Boarding Gate, B-movie heir to Phil Karlson and Ingmar Bergman, screws any pretence of naturalism for hallucinatory confrontations.” – Slant Magazine Mar 19, 2008 Full Review Foster Child (1987) 3/4 “Like Cristian Mungiu did in 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days, Brillante Mendoza attempts to take the camera from the opening shot of Touch of Evil to quotidian life in the slums.” – Slant Magazine Mar 13, 2008 Full Review The Silence Before Bach (2008) 84% 2/4 “Twaddle pitched somewhere between a music appreciation class and a modernist experiment attesting to art's ability to ennoble the quotidian.” – Slant Magazine Jan 23, 2008 Full Review Arranged (2007) 64% 1/4 “At least Arranged understands that its message is directed at nave children.” – Slant Magazine Nov 26, 2007 Full Review Otoshiana (1962) 100% “Once the premise is up, it's never as uninteresting as it should be.” – Stylus Magazine Nov 5, 2007 Full Review
