Mini-Review: Charmingly quirky Swedish coming-of-age film.
Mini-Review: Let's all dance the madison!
Mini-Review: I'm not enough of an art aficionado to appreciate much of this film (a good half-hour is dedicated to discussing paintings in the Hermitage) but the continuous long-shot, luscious period costumes and jovial critiques of Russian culture from the French governor/companion certainly made it enjoyable enough.
Mini-Review: My favourite Haneke film, yet. The constant intensity of the events, combined with the oblique ambiguity as to the origin of the antagonist, and the "shock-event" at the end makes for a wonderfully unsettling watch.
Mini-Review: Haneke once again proves that he's the master of unsettling/shocking theatre, through the backdrop of a pre WW1 village (ooh, symbolism!)
Mini-Review: Marvellous. One of the best Shakespearean adaptations I've seen yet.
Mini-Review: Cracking French gangster noir.
Mini-Review: This is the one film I'd recommend to anyone who claims to hate black and white films. The camera work, the lighting, the snappy dialogue, the fact that it was written by Graham Green, and the performances from Cotton and Welles... It's a classic of British cinema!
