Conceived as a science fiction movie, Resurrection is set in a future where mankind…
Over the years, Noah Baumbach has been hit or miss, from his side hustle collaborating with Wes Anderson, most notably on The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, to his more fruitful collaborations with partner Greta Gerwig. Marriage Story might end up being the benchmark for everything Baumbach has done since, because it was clearly something…
@Courtesy of Netflix A House of Dynamite is the best and most important movie about nuclear threat since Dr. Strangelove: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb by Stanley Kubrick. Working on the articulate screenplay by Noah Oppenheim, Kathryn Bigelow has directed a high-tension drama that explores the danger and dilemmas of…
©Courtesy of Warner Bothers I’ve been following Paul Thomas Anderson’s career from square one. My friend’s and I rented Sydney (I know they named it Hard Eight, but I still call it Sydney), when it his video stores shelves. Whether we were rolling on the floor laughing at a matchbook spontaneously combust in John C….
©Courtesy of MUBI She has been called the quietest of the great American directors. Kelly Reichardt doesn’t rush. She clears away the unnecessary and takes her time capturing the American soul. Now she returns with something as unusual and unlikely as an observational heist movie. Her style works wonders. Set in a sleepy Massachusetts suburb…
Photo by Eddy Chen – © courtesy of Black Bear Boxers have always been symbols of grit in a cinema. They fight not just opponents, but demons of pride, poverty, and identity. From Sylvester Stallone’s underdog triumph in “Rocky“ (1976) to Robert De Niro’s bruising portrait of self-destruction in “Raging Bull“ (1980), the ring becomes a…
There are some fantastical, romanticized love stories that burn fast and bright. There are other love stories, notably the new dramedy Nate and Moriah in Venice, that are instead textured and imperfect. Writer-director Austin Balke crafted a mesmerizing romantic story that highlights the quieter spaces of connection. The titular characters thrive in the stolen glances,…
The premises of the new film directed by Kogonada are thrilling. A wonderful cast: Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell in the leading roles, supported by Kevin Kline and Phoebe Waller-Bridge. A fantastical plot: portal doors that open up to a path of self-discovery. And a screenplay written by Seth Reiss, who was critically acclaimed for The…
©Courtesy of TIFF David Lynch’s surreal “Eraserhead“ was about to flicker onto screens, and Jimmy Carter had just been sworn in as president. It was early 1977 — post-Kennedy, post-Watergate America — when Indianapolis businessman Tony Kiritsis stormed into an office and wired a sawed-off shotgun to the back of a mortgage broker’s head. What followed…
The world’s best fake band has never really called it quits. But, they haven’t had another full length movie since their 1984 breakthrough, This is Spinal Tap. The original, which holds a special place in my heart, as I am sure it does for many; wasn’t the instant classic people make it out to be….
©Courtesy of Netflix Watching a Guillermo del Toro film feels like discovering a forgotten fairy tale in a mausoleum — lush, disturbing, and hard to forget. The Mexican filmmaker crafts fables for grownups: grotesque yet tender, brutal yet poetic. More than just spectacle, we can’t stop liking his emotional monsters — from “Pan’s Labyrinth” (2006) to “The…
