Ten Nights of Dreams

Ten Nights of Dreams review

"A wonderful collection of shorts, visually pleasing, fun to watch and from time to time refreshingly weird."

My Blueberry Nights

0327
My Blueberry Nights review

"This film is 200% Kar Wai and comes unmistakably from his hands, annoying actors were turned into lovable characters and his film proved once again that movies are an audiovisual experience"

Until the Lights Come Back

0328
Until the Lights Come Back review

"Somehow Until the Lights Come Back never found its way into the mainstream, even though it's a pretty accessible film. It's sweet, upbeat, feel good, a tad long maybe but never slow or boring."

The Chinese Botanist's Daughters

0329
The Chinese Botanist's Daughters review

"Sijie Dai made an impressive film."

Gerry

0330
Gerry review

"It's best to leave all hope of a decent storyline behind when you want to watch this film. Gerry is all about the experience, ignoring the rest and foregoing all compromises."

Micmacs

0331
Micmacs review

"Think Amélie but with a darker, more adventurous and boyish edge. It's a good 100 minutes of fun in a recognizable but still outlandish version of Paris, hosted by a gang of endearing weirdos."

Achilles and the Tortoise

0332
Achilles and the Tortoise review

"A must for Kitano fans and probably art fans alike (as all paintings were made by Kitano himself and are apparently based on existing paintings)."

Springtime in a Small Town

0333
Springtime in a Small Town review

"Springtime in a Small Town is a stunning, subtle and elegant experience that serves as a perfect introduction to Tian's body of work."

The Bow

0334
The Bow review

"The Bow is a pretty logical evolution in Ki-duk's career. It includes many of the themes and stylistic choices from his older films while still lacking the slicker execution of his newer ones."

Goth

0335
Goth review

"Goth is a strong film, elegantly transporting its audience to the universe of two unique individuals finding each other in a world that isn't really their own."

Fearless

0336
Fearless review

"If you're looking for a stellar martial arts flick though, Fearless is a safe bet."

Bangkok Dangerous

0337
Bangkok Dangerous review

"Bangkok Dangerous is a film that's surviving the test of time surprisingly well."

The Go Master

0338
The Go Master review

"When it comes to capturing a person as a whole he did a splendid job. The Go Master is a rather slow and moody film, but there's beauty pouring from its seams."

The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover

0339
The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover review

"That is, if you appreciate the vulgarities. Even though the film itself is quite refined, its character are everything but."

Ninja Kids!!!

0340
Ninja Kids!!! review

"Ninja Kids!!! is the perfect example of demented Japanese kids entertainment that's weird enough to appeal to adults, at least those with some memories of their lost childhood."

The Protector

0341
The Protector review

"As a martial arts fan, The Protector is the kind of movie I love watching. It puts every single baht in making its fight scenes bigger, crazier and more inventive."

Brother

0342
Brother review

"Brother is not an American Kitano film, it's a Kitano film set in America. If you liked Sonatine, Hana-bi, and Boiling Point then you really can't go wrong with this one."

Metropia

0343
Metropia review

"Metropia is a film that will appeal to people who like a dystopian future coupled with a craving for unique animation."

The Great Yokai War

0344
The Great Yokai War review

"The Great Yokai War was Miike's first venture into big budget cinema aimed at a younger audience."

Meat Grinder

0345
Meat Grinder review

"Meat Grinder's strength lies with the excellent mix of ingredients put into the film."

Fires on the Plain

0346
Fires on the Plain review

"This is not a very happy film, nor is it very subtle."

I Stand Alone

0347
I Stand Alone review

"So yeah, Noé could've opted to make a more pensive, explanatory version of the story, but that's not really his style."

Minuscule

0348
Minuscule review

"It's cute, charming, funny and perfect for a warm summer evening. Don't expect anything deep or challenging, just let the film's charm sweep you away."

This World of Ours

0349
This World of Ours review

"Nakajima's first film is not for everybody. It combines the rawness of films like Pornostar and even Irréversible with the poetry and drama of films like Tokyo.Sora."

Himizu

0350
Himizu review

"The first fifteen minutes where a little though, but once Sumida starts his descent into madness the film never back down."
