Comments
A City of Sadness
1989 Taiwan
A true epic, and a whole lot more
AHFEI ZHENJUANG
1990 Hong Kong
The ultimate unfinished masterpiece of cinema
The Godfather
1972 USA
Who says genre pictures can't be great art?
Late Spring
1949 Japan
A search for the balance between the part and the whole, at once profoundly sad and upliftingly heartwarming.
Mirror
1975 USSR
A dream, a poem, an enigma.
Parents' Hearts
1955
The nobility of human spirit, touchingly illustrated in a film that epitomizes the 1950s Golden Period of Hong Kong cinema.
La Règle du jeu
1939 France
A coming together of the mind, the heart and the senses.
The Searchers
1956 USA
Distilling humanity, landscape and time into sublime poetry.
Spring in a Small Town
1948 People's Republic of China
The high point of art and artistry in Chinese cinema, reached when the burdens of war, nation and ideology had been lifted, ever so slightly...
Vertigo
1958 USA
Warped. Funny. Scary. Disturbing. Inspiring. Reassuring.
