The Artist The Artist
Director Michel Hazanavicius signs an - almost - silent film that pays homage to the golden age of Hollywood.

Drive Drive
Having surprised us earlier with Valhalla Rising, a metaphysical masterpiece on the edge of experimental cinema which reinvented the Vikings subgenre, we could justly wonder what director Nicolas Winding Refn would do with the classic story of a lone hero who gets in trouble after a heist went bad.

Le Havre Le Havre
After having giving us an intimate look at Helsinki, through a series of films, Finish filmmaker Aki Kaurismäki now wanders in the streets of French town Le Havre.

House of Tolerance House of Tolerance
The Apollonide could have certainly been a major film.

The Kid with a Bike The Kid with a Bike
The Kid with a Bike is probably the most luminous Dardenne film so far and the most optimistic.

Melancholia Melancholia
Following his very personal vision of horror films, Lars Von Trier's next venture is of another kind: disaster /sci-fi movies.

Midnight in Paris Midnight in Paris
After Barcelona and London, comes the city of light, Woody Allen offering with his new film the first role to Paris.

Once upon a time in Anatolia Once upon a time in Anatolia
Have you ever wondered how a Turkish thriller would look like? Well, at least we now know that under Nuri Bilge Ceylan's helm, it turns into a dark and little masterpiece.

Restless Restless
Restless tells the encounter of two people facing death, each of them reacting with opposing forces to this matter.

The Skin I Live In The Skin I Live In
With this story centered around a mad surgeon and an abduction, Almodovar delivers one of his signature films.

Sleeping Beauty Sleeping Beauty
For her first film, writer/director Julia Leigh delivers a work that aims at teasing the spectator's sensitivity without falling into gratuitous provocation.

The Tree of Life The Tree of Life
The Tree of Life is a film that will somewhat be remembered as not fully accomplished.

We Need to Talk About Kevin We Need to Talk About Kevin
A film built on restraint, ellipses, which prefers to suggest rather than showing.
