L'Atalante (1934) 100% “True filmic poetry which turns a simple love story into a raw and off-beat fairytale. Given its monumental reputation, L'Atalante does not disappoint.” – Film4 Jul 22, 2019 Full Review La Dolce Vita (1960) 95% 5/5 “In spite of its thematic ugliness, this is a stunning-looking trawl through the Italian capital, with Ekberg's impromptu paddle in the Trevi fountain still the films enduring image.” – Film4 Apr 20, 2009 Full Review The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964) 97% “A truly unique and wonderful film from a director who stands apart in the French cinema canon.” – Film4 Jan 30, 2009 Full Review Holiday Inn (1942) 100% “Not the best film for either of the film's stars, but Astaire proves that he can dance even without Ginger.” – Film4 Dec 5, 2008 Full Review Paris (2008) 66% 3/5 “[Klapisch] has created an imperfect but humane ode to his native city.” – Film4 Jul 22, 2008 Full Review West Side Story (1961) 92% “Technically stunning, with dazzling choreography matching an unforgettable score.” – Film4 Feb 19, 2008 Full Review An American in Paris (1951) 95% 4/5 “It's a simple love story, but also a celebration of dance, music and art, embodied in the somewhat synthetic notion of Paris as the spiritual home of the arts, and the painterly aesthetic of the film as a whole.” – Film4 Feb 19, 2008 Full Review 1900 (1976) 52% “This is a handsome film with fierce and heartfelt ambition that succeeds in capturing something of the extreme social turmoil of pre-war Italy.” – Film4 Dec 7, 2007 Full Review The Magic Flute (2006) 70% 3.5/5 “Flashes of inspiration but not enough, one suspects, to cause a stampeding horde of cinemagoers to beat down the doors of the Royal Opera House.” – Film4 Nov 30, 2007 Full Review It's a Wonderful Life (1946) 94% 5/5 “You'd have to possess a very hard heart not to find something to love in this story.” – Film4 Nov 27, 2007 Full Review My Life to Live (1962) 91% 3/5 “Invigorating, revolutionary, joyfully iconoclastic and spontaneous.” – Film4 Oct 24, 2007 Full Review The Chinese Girl (1967) 95% “Prophetic, powerful, disconcerting, infuriating, and surprisingly funny.” – Film4 Oct 10, 2007 Full Review The Bad Sleep Well (1960) 100% “It's still as visually striking as anything you will see by this director.” – Film4 Jun 22, 2004 Full Review Johnny Guitar (1954) 94% “Compelling, confounding and at times verging on the downright camp, this picture takes a slow- burning but startlingly vivid look at humanity in the outlands.” – Film4 May 24, 2003 Full Review Oklahoma! (1955) 87% “Whatever your interest in the sexual politics of the 1950s musical, this is a good-looking, sweet-sounding piece that'll surely have you hot under the collar.” – Film4 May 24, 2003 Full Review Detective (1985) 92% “Jean-Luc Godard's hotel-based film noir borders on farce: as conventional as he gets, but still inventive, subversive and darkly comic.” – Film4 May 24, 2003 Full Review Two or Three Things I Know About Her (1967) 94% “Electrifying sound and image collage of 24 hours in the life of a Parisian housewife by France's most difficult and defiant director, Jean-Luc Godard” – Film4 May 24, 2003 Full Review
