The Red Squirrel (1993) EDIT “Red Squirrel confirms Medem's place as one of the most original and distinctive directors working in Europe today.” – Sight & Sound Feb 6, 2020 Full Review We Are What We Are (2010) 72% EDIT “Strikingly original in technique, it pays no heed to the old masters of Mexican film; alluding only indirectly to present social conditions, it rewrites the horror genre with a premise that is outrageously novel.” – Sight & Sound Jul 6, 2018 Full Review 21 Grams (2003) 80% EDIT “21 Grams is convincing both as a mid-American document and as the universal moral drama that it aims to be.” – Sight & Sound Jun 18, 2012 Full Review City of God (2002) 91% EDIT “This marvellous film ... testifies to the awesome creativity of Brazil's underclass.” – Sight & Sound Jan 7, 2003 Full Review Open Your Eyes (1997) 87% EDIT “Amenbar's virtuoso style and connection to the youth audience, both of which are resented by the Spanish film establishment, make him a plausible model outside Spain for a European cinema that bridges the gap between arthouse and mainstream.” – Sight & Sound Dec 2, 2002 Full Review I Am Cuba (1964) 100% EDIT “A memorably eccentric and lyrical hymn to the transformatory powers of cinema.” – Sight & Sound Mar 5, 2002 Full Review The Devil's Backbone (2001) 93% EDIT “The work of a great stylist with a uniquely disturbing attraction to, and vision of, the frontier between life and death.” – Sight & Sound Mar 3, 2002 Full Review
