4/5
 
"As a love story, it could scarcely be more tempestuous and as an exposé of class differences and sexual hypocrisy it could hardly be more scathing -- or, more important, entertaining." -- Los Angeles Times
Posted Jul 25, 2008
 
No Regret (2008)50%
/
4.5/5
 
"A love of unspoiled countryside and its sturdy people suffuses this film, which unfolds with subtlety, humor and affection -- and becomes in the process a pure enchantment." -- Los Angeles Times
Posted Jul 18, 2008
 
The Grocer's Son (2008)82%
/
2.5/5

Posted Jul 11, 2008
 
The Garden of Allah (1936)44%

4/5
 
"Everyday incidents trigger in Irena alternately sweet and horrific memories, and these become like pieces in a jigsaw puzzle that is completed only when the film concludes, at last revealing its full meaning." -- Los Angeles Times

The Unknown Woman (2008)59%

Bonneville (2006)42%

4/5
 
"Shot mainly in New York's meanest, murkiest streets, Sangre de Mi Sangre, is intricately and imaginatively structured, building to a powerful climax of complex irony." -- Los Angeles Times

Sangre de Mi Sangre (2008)83%

5/5
 
"Tuya's Marriage is thoroughly gratifying in its consistent inventiveness and has a grasp of human nature so universal that there's no feeling of the exotic about the film and its people." -- Los Angeles Times
Posted May 23, 2008
 
Tuya's Marriage (2008)88%
/
4/5
 
"This is a resolutely tough-minded, beautifully crafted film so compelling as to make bearable watching the nearly unbearable." -- Los Angeles Times
Posted Apr 25, 2008
 
Blind Mountain (2008)76%
/
3/5
 
"The film benefits from solid performances by its four stars, but it is overly didactic and drawn-out as its comic tone grows darker and darker." -- Los Angeles Times
Posted Apr 18, 2008
 
Lost in Beijing (2008)47%
/
3.5/5
 
"Whereas Umbrellas of Cherbourg has become timeless in its depiction of romance, Love Songs strikes a strongly contemporary note in its calm acceptance of the fluidity of desire and emotion." -- Los Angeles Times

Love Songs (2008)67%
/
4/5

Boarding Gate (2007)26%

Just Sex and Nothing Else (2005)n/a
/
4/5

Posted Jan 25, 2008
 
Santouri (2007)n/a
/
3/5

Diva (1981)95%
/
4.5/5
 
"Expertly constructed and beautifully photographed, Badland easily sustains its 160-minute running time, and the portrayals of Draven, a British actor, and 9-year-old Fulton can stand alongside the year's best." -- Los Angeles Times

Badland (2007)20%

3/5
 
"The delightful, sometimes humorous yet thoughtful result of [Gabel's and Hahn's] efforts is Anthem, in which they talk to nearly 30 people, some famous, some obscure, to find out what’s on their minds." -- Los Angeles Times
Posted Sep 24, 2007
 
Anthem (1997)80%
/
2.5/5
 
"Ruiz is terrific in evoking a heady atmosphere of ornate fin de siecle decadence, and Malkovich is ideally cast as a coolly intellectual, free-thinking, free-living aesthete..." -- Los Angeles Times

Klimt (2006)29%

"Bamako is an attack on globalization that is endlessly cogent, confrontational -- and, best of all, as captivating as it is illuminating." -- Los Angeles Times
Posted Jun 1, 2007
 
Bamako (2006)84%
/
4.5/5
 
"Poison Friends is at once a sly satire on the pretensions and aspirations of academia and an intellectual suspense-thriller that builds and builds but never loses credibility." -- Los Angeles Times

Poison Friends (2007)88%
/
4.5/5
 
"Private Fears in Public Places, a masterpiece by any measure, is fresh, immediate and contemporary, but its wintry yet warm perspective is suffused with the wisdom and experience of a great filmmaker who turns 85 on June 2." -- Los Angeles Times

Private Fears in Public Places (2007)79%

4/5

4.5/5

Fighting Words (2003)n/a
/
4.5/5
 
"Everything here is top-notch -- on-the-money ensemble cast, apt locations, Alice Brooks' gleaming camerawork, Joe Kraemer's intense score and Kalman Alexander's razor-sharp editing. It's a class act financed on a shoestring." -- Los Angeles Times
Posted Mar 29, 2007
 
Ten 'til Noon (2005)70%

Idol (2006)n/a

Phantom Love (2007)n/a
/
5/5
 
"[Director] Sasanatieng engages the viewer's emotions fully in the squaring away of the eternal triangle, involving young people who emerge as three-dimensional individuals even though they are archetypal." -- Los Angeles Times

Tears of the Black Tiger (2000)76%
/
