The last time Erich Maria Remarque’s classic anti-war novel All Quiet on the Western Front was made as a theatrical motion picture was nearly a century ago, in 1930. It took home Oscars for Best Picture and Best Director. Can history repeat itself? I wouldn’t bet against it as this official German entry for Best International Film seems to have acr...
Over 30,000 people “disappeared” under the reign of Argentina’s military junta; many more were raped, tortured or interned in unspeakable concentration camps. When this vicious crew was overthrown, it was popularly assumed that they could never be brought to justice; they remained too powerful. Enter Julio Strassera, a second-string public prosecut...
In the last two years, the Venice Film Festival has platformed a couple of films from South East Asia that struck a nerve internationally, despite the supposedly parochial nature of their subjects. One is Erik Matti’s On the Job: The Missing Eight, this year’s Oscar entry from the Philippines, which looks at the way authoritarian governments exploi...
The Grand Prize winner at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, Close comes from Belgian filmmaker Lukas Dhont and centers on the touching friendship between two 13-year-old boys, a carefree union until events and tragedy take center stage. Leo (a marvelous performance from young star Eden Dambrine) sees his life turned inside out as he learns life can...
The Academy Awards should have a category reserved for animal performances. Sure, they will have no idea what’s going on, but the donkeys from EO deserve some type of acting acknowledgment. With his own take on Robert Bresson’s Au Hasard Balthazar, director Jerzy Skolimowski follows a donkey named EO that works in a traveling circus but is soon tak...
This Finnish Oscar entry got me excited about Alli Haapasalo as a director, as well as thoroughly entertaining me. The filmmaker has such a confident, fresh approach and, working with her writers, avoids genre clichés with such skill that you don’t notice until you unpack it afterwards. Girl Picture is a vibrant story of three teenagers but it seem...
Korean cinema this year is very well represented by Park Chan-wook’s exquisite Cannes hit Decision to Leave, but there was plenty more from the region, and two world premieres at this summer’s Bifan film festival — the cool punk cousin to Busan — were particularly exciting. One was Son Kyoungwon’s A Good Boy, a slow-burn Bad Seed drama about a pre-...
An official selection of the 2020 Cannes Film Festival that had to be canceled due to the pandemic, the winner of eight Cesar Awards nominations in 2021 including a win for Laure Calamy as Best Actress, and finally a U.S. release in July 2022, this charming French romantic comedy was for me well worth. A finer example of the genre I cannot recall t...
With civil liberties in America under attack, those willing to fight to keep the liberties we have in place could learn a thing or two from this Patricio Guzmán documentary about the Chilean protest of 2019. The people of Chile are fighting for the same things folks in the U.S. are. The only difference is that the Chilean people never took their fo...
Every so often, you see a film that makes you feel your heart move in your chest: for me, this was that film for 2022. The beautiful things here – the towering Alps, flowery meadows, chalets decorated with boxes of geraniums – may recall Swiss chocolate boxes, but there is nothing sugary about Michael Koch’s deeply felt portrait of a marriage. Marc...
