Blindness Blindness
The director is never able to find a fair balance between the codes of a film genre and the moralizing discourse on the fragility of society.

Che Che
Anti-dramatic, anti-charismatic and as anti-Hollywood as possible, the icon of the Cuban Revolution as seen by Steven Soderbergh puzzles and even disappoints.

Chelsea on the Rocks Chelsea on the Rocks
Messy, uninhibited, relaxed, eclectic, crazy. These qualifiers apply as much to Abel Ferrara as they do to his subject.

The Class The Class
The Class is based on a book and screenplay by François Bégaudeau, a teacher who plays his own role here and is directed by Laurent Cantet, an astute portraitist of French societal social mechanisms.

Gomorra Gomorra
What differentiates Gomorra from other works however in the Mobster sub-genre is that it emphasizes the involvement of kids in the Mafia.

Hunger Hunger
Deeply moving, experimental and almost dialogue-free, Hunger chronicles IRA detainees who tried to win political prisoner status in 1981 through a no wash protest and hunger strike.

Leonera Leonera
Trapero's film, served by sophisticated but never flashy cinematography and an extremely precise sense of the frame, knows how to play the discretion of the objective observer who nevertheless feels tenderness for his characters.

Soi Cowboy Soi Cowboy
Entirely filmed in Thailand, Soi Cowboy takes its title from a red light district of Bangkok.

Surveillance Surveillance
Surveillance disappoints even more especially since it paints the portrait of two serial killers who are particularly cruel and devoid of conscience.

Tehilim Tokyo!
While all three parts of Tokyo! are forgotten fairly quickly, the film emerges from the coherent vision of a city often portrayed as sprawling, swarming, supersaturated with technology and finally over-sanitized.

Two Lovers Two Lovers
James Gray is back on the big screen with Two Lovers, his opportunity to abandon the thrillers emblematic of his work and explore the inexhaustible theme of love.

Waltz with Bashir Waltz with Bashir
Waltz with Bashir is an animated autobiographical documentary whose title refers to an Israeli soldier taken under fire from snipers in Beirut.
