Comments
Tokyo Story
Regional Japanese family drama that encompasses limits of plot and character development conventions - yet works very well.
After The Curfew
First true Indonesian postwar drama with strong noir element.
Pather Panchali
Great neo-realist film adapted from a classic novel.
A Woman under the Influence
One of Cassavetes' best. Family drama in a miner community
Paris, Texas
One of the best portraits of middle Americna cities and landscape. Poetic Wim Wenders road movie collaboration with Nastassja Kinsky with great cinematography by Robby Muller
The Piano
Jane Campion period piece about life in the Pacific Islands - one of the best depictions of masculinity .
Yi Yi
One of Edward Yang's best films and sadly his last.
L'enfant
The irony of Belgian economic development. Great drama of urban poverty.
Old Joy
A longing that many men in the world feel, in a film written and directed by the great Kelly Reichardt.
The Master
Paul Thomas Anderson takes on postwar trauma and the cult life in America. Screened on a 65mm print in selected cinemas.
