The Tale of King Crab (2021) 90% “Such a formal conceit could easily descend into mere pastiche if not for both the undercurrent of melancholy and the formal rigour with which de Righi and Zoppis render nature, which together hint at immanence amid the absurdity.” – Cinema Scope Apr 1, 2022 Full Review Azor (2021) 98% “Azor ultimately performs a critical inversion of the film's motif of nomenclature: an indexical reckoning of the belongings, purloined and now bankable, of those disappeared by the junta...” – Cinema Scope Jul 13, 2021 Full Review Collective (2019) 99% “Collective is more record than remembrance, an investigative procedural that's equally observational and true to its genre.” – Cinema Scope Feb 7, 2020 Full Review Ghost Fleet (2018) 64% “Hard to harp on a film of such sincerely good intentions, but a more rigorous approach could do the issue more justice.” – Cinema Scope Sep 10, 2018 Full Review Cocote (2017) 77% “The unclassifiable film befits, none too comfortably, the hard-to-classify subject.” – Cinema Scope Feb 21, 2018 Full Review Golden Exits (2017) 67% “The film's measure of inertia among its characters is putatively more eloquent, loquacious even, which appears to be part of Perry's paradoxical point.” – Cinema Scope Nov 28, 2017 Full Review Nana (2005) 86% “At a lean 68 minutes, and denuded to its cryptic core, Nana may be insular to a fault, but is wide open for identification.” – Cinema Scope Oct 10, 2017 Full Review Belle Toujours (2006) 70% “Belle toujours, though, is hinged on the slightest, and more sordid, of provocations.” – Cinema Scope Oct 10, 2017 Full Review Summer Hours (2008) 94% “In crafting his own objet d'art, Assayas has paid careful consideration to the fine aesthetic practiced in Taiwan, particularly that of Hou Hsiao-hsie.” – Cinema Scope Oct 10, 2017 Full Review Humpday (2009) 79% “To director Lynne Shelton's considerable credit, Humpday delineates that perennially privileged, and thus imperiled, domain of male intimacy with a subtlety that echoes the ambivalence of sexual self-realization.” – Cinema Scope Oct 10, 2017 Full Review La Trinchera Luminosa del Presidente Gonzalo (2007) “Modestly scaled, La Trinchera scores a minor conceptual coup for occupying politically charged territory with the levity of, well, highly evolved karaoke video. Call it a party favour.” – Cinema Scope Oct 10, 2017 Full Review Papirosen (2011) 86% “Papirosen transcends the home-movie genre by being ordinary; this is a look into the abyss that never strays from the surface of its chosen milieu.” – Cinema Scope Oct 10, 2017 Full Review The Selfish Giant (2013) 98% “In the absence of any apparent formal conceit, Barnard's parable is still raw enough to wound while its emotional impact could wring tears from metal.” – Cinema Scope Oct 10, 2017 Full Review Labor Day (2013) 34% “Too much sugar ruins the pie! Jason Reitman's shamelessly saccharine adaptation of Joyce Maynard's novel could not have resisted such a bromide, as it was baked into the dough.” – Cinema Scope Oct 10, 2017 Full Review Under the Skin (2013) 83% “There's an under-explored sociological insight to be gleaned from the encounters that follow.” – Cinema Scope Oct 10, 2017 Full Review Manakamana (2013) 96% “Manakamana is a record of this circuitry, an index of faces seen in the act of seeing, thrust into the vacancy of a nature that scrolls by like some uncanny rear projection from an old Hollywood film.” – Cinema Scope Oct 10, 2017 Full Review Ida (2013) 95% “Ida is an exquisitely rendered artifact that nonetheless becomes truer for holding its diminutive shape against such weighted material, something like finding a lost Zbigniew Herbert poem scrawled on a kielbasa wrapper.” – Cinema Scope Oct 10, 2017 Full Review The Unknown Known (2013) 81% “As a history lesson in digest form, it's eminently valuable for cracking Rumsfeld's cheshire grin without employing unsound interrogation methods.” – Cinema Scope Oct 10, 2017 Full Review Sheep (2013) “There's something appropriately memorial about the film's handling of a disappearance, of the immeasurable weight of absence.” – Cinema Scope Oct 10, 2017 Full Review Stop the Pounding Heart (2013) 76% “More than the sum of its avowed influences, Stop the Pounding Heart evidences a supplicant style of filmmaking.” – Cinema Scope Oct 10, 2017 Full Review Bethlehem (2013) 79% “Bethlehem is compelling for its regional exposure, but a tendency for narrative velocity and plot machinations gives away the film's ultimate agenda as genre-dependent. Credit to Adler though for the necessarily unhappy ending.” – Cinema Scope Oct 10, 2017 Full Review Madame Bovary (2014) 43% “Most crucially and delectably, it is language-Flaubert's mots précises-that sways with seductive power and portent, which Barthes taps for all its symbolic suggestion.” – Cinema Scope Oct 10, 2017 Full Review Rosewater (2014) 76% “Credit Rosewater for troubling itself over just what makes the axis, evil or otherwise, spin.” – Cinema Scope Oct 10, 2017 Full Review The Kindergarten Teacher (2014) 77% “The film is less about this prodigy than the spell he unwittingly exerts upon those sensitized to hear music where there is only noise...” – Cinema Scope Oct 10, 2017 Full Review Beasts of No Nation (2015) 91% “Beasts of No Nation holds sway with cogent, putrid effect, at once terrifying and sickly seductive.” – Cinema Scope Oct 10, 2017 Full Review
