Fear and Desire (1953) 70% EDIT “Fear and Desire is more than just a curio for the Kubrick completist. It is indeed a genuinely revealing work.” – Vague Visages Nov 16, 2023 Full Review In Vanda's Room (2000) 100% EDIT “There is a rather admirable perseverance displayed by Vanda and her fellow inhabitants...” – Vague Visages Nov 16, 2023 Full Review Happy-Go-Lucky (2008) 93% EDIT “Mike Leigh’s 2008 film Happy-Go-Lucky, one of the most joyous of movies and one of the year’s very best, is a breezy two-hour character study that seems to have the vibrantly unfettered cheer of a coloring book as its foundational text.” – Vague Visages Nov 16, 2023 Full Review Cria! (1976) 100% EDIT “...this picture is a passionate invocation to the perhaps ignored impact that everyday occurrences have on children...” – Vague Visages Nov 16, 2023 Full Review I Am Cuba (1964) 100% EDIT “I Am Cuba is more than a picturesque travelogue. It is a pulsating ethnographic profile, an excavation of sorts, uncovering and unleashing its discoveries with a sweeping scope.” – Vague Visages Nov 16, 2023 Full Review I Was Born, But ... (1932) 100% EDIT “If Ozu has taught us anything, it’s that life doesn’t get any easier. But life does go on.” – Vague Visages Nov 16, 2023 Full Review Shoot the Piano Player (1960) 90% EDIT “Truffaut and Coutard punctuate Shoot the Piano Player with a vibrant rendering of its wintry Parisian setting, where the city is an ever-present visual marker…” – Vague Visages Nov 16, 2023 Full Review EDIT “Sometimes they’re tragic, sometimes they’re sad. Sometimes (though rarely with Kieślowski) they’re even jubilant. Still, whatever they are, however they occur, and whoever they effect, that’s life. And that’s what Dekalog conveys so well.” – Vague Visages Nov 16, 2023 Full Review EDIT “Sometimes they’re tragic, sometimes they’re sad. Sometimes (though rarely with Kieślowski) they’re even jubilant. Still, whatever they are, however they occur, and whoever they effect, that’s life. And that’s what Dekalog conveys so well.” – Vague Visages Nov 16, 2023 Full Review EDIT “The films shadow key figures — when they are alone or with others — gradually leading to highly personal, highly revelatory, passages of behavior....” – Vague Visages Nov 15, 2023 Full Review EDIT “To go in with a preconceived concern for what “thou shalt not” to look for, or to, as Dekalog progresses, be preoccupied with identifying commandment cues, is to miss the more significant drama and the more nuanced aesthetic quality of the series...” – Vague Visages Nov 15, 2023 Full Review EDIT “It would be a rather reductive resolution to look at Krzysztof Kieślowski’s Dekalog as a series just about the Ten Commandments. Or even to think of it as a strictly Christian film, or, for that matter, even as a purely religious film. ” – Vague Visages Nov 15, 2023 Full Review Destiny (1921) 79% EDIT “Destiny arrives at its final satisfying destination as a poetic and deeply affecting film, an ethereal meditation from a now legendary filmmaker...” – Vague Visages Nov 15, 2023 Full Review Au Hasard Balthazar (1966) 100% EDIT “Much of Au hasard Balthazar’s transcendental value derives from its explicit openness to theological interpretation...” – Vague Visages Nov 15, 2023 Full Review Modern Times (1936) 98% EDIT “Emblematic of a ‘Hollywood realism,’ with a rather immaculate industrial setting, strategically tattered clothing and deliberately designed destitution.” – Vague Visages Nov 15, 2023 Full Review The Girlfriends (1955) 100% EDIT “Antonioni further bridges the gap between comparatively conservative melodrama and the groundbreaking narrative and visual abstraction he would soon unleash...” – Vague Visages Nov 15, 2023 Full Review A Married Woman (1965) 86% EDIT “So what does A Married Woman all add up to? For one thing, perhaps a sign of what was to come in Godard’s ever-evolving methodology...” – Vague Visages Nov 15, 2023 Full Review In a Lonely Place (1950) 96% EDIT “In a Lonely Place finds Nicholas Ray still the relative newcomer to the Hollywood studio scene, yet he is already displaying subversive evidence of instilling in his work representative preoccupations.” – Vague Visages Nov 15, 2023 Full Review Z (1969) 94% EDIT “Costa-Gavras wasn’t holding back with his 1969 masterpiece Z, opening with a bold declaration, a printed statement reading: “Any similarity to persons or events is deliberate.”” – Vague Visages Nov 15, 2023 Full Review Come and See (1985) 90% EDIT “"...Come and See is a grueling masterwork..."” – MUBI Mar 10, 2020 Full Review The Beast (1975) 68% EDIT “As a keen provocateur and multitalented artist, Borowczyk knew how to be sensational, and The Beast, his best film, is an appropriately surreal and dazzling mixture of farcical humor and uninhibited sensuality, all with the logic of perpetual reverie.” – MUBI May 23, 2019 Full Review Brighton Rock (1948) 95% EDIT “Based on Graham Greene's 1938 novel of the same name, and directed by John Boulting...this superb picture discloses with penetrating clarity an emotional street life teeming beneath the veneer of amusement park gaiety.” – MUBI Jan 9, 2018 Full Review Logan Lucky (2017) 92% 4/5 EDIT “Logan Lucky shows Soderbergh operating modestly with optimum skill.” – MUBI Dec 19, 2017 Full Review
