The Pornographer (2001) 36% 3/5 EDIT “The Pornographer uses its provocative title and hardcore footage merely as the backdrop to a rather typical study of male mid-life crisis. ” – Empire Magazine Jul 29, 2025 Full Review La Haine (1995) 96% 5/5 EDIT “Stark, exquisite black-and-white photography drains what little cheer there is out of the concrete jungle, creating an alien cityscape devoid of sunshine. But Mathieu Kassovitz's triumph is in finding humanity in every single one of his characters.” – Empire Magazine Jul 20, 2023 Full Review The Draughtsman's Contract (1982) 97% 4/5 EDIT “A well-constructed plot that's both playful and thematically significant.” – Empire Magazine Feb 7, 2019 Full Review A Short Film About Love (1988) 95% 4/5 EDIT “As the power shifts between the watcher and his subject, between romantic love and carnal lust, Kieslowski taps into the most intimate, fragile areas of human relationships with gripping and often suprisingly humourous results.” – Empire Magazine Apr 5, 2017 Full Review M*A*S*H (1970) 86% 4/5 EDIT “As a savage comedy about man's rebellion in the face of death it has rarely been bettered.” – Empire Magazine Mar 3, 2015 Full Review Nijushi No Hitomi (1954) 60% 4/5 EDIT “Sentimental but sincere.” – Empire Magazine Mar 4, 2013 Full Review The World of Apu (1959) 97% 5/5 EDIT “Humanist film-making at its best.” – Empire Magazine Aug 7, 2012 Full Review The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp (1943) 97% 5/5 EDIT “A wonderful salute to British decency and a touching portrait of a friendship that bridges national boundaries.” – Empire Magazine May 14, 2012 Full Review Adoration (2008) 62% 2/5 EDIT “Without the constrictions of an adapted text, Egoyan's creativity turns towards intellectual exercise.” – Empire Magazine Feb 2, 2010 Full Review The Last Laugh (1924) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Karl Freund's ground-breaking and historically important cinematography can still take the breath away.” – Empire Magazine Apr 27, 2009 Full Review Fantastic Planet (1973) 91% 4/5 EDIT “Surreal and wonderful in a way not often seen from Europe.” – Empire Magazine Sep 9, 2008 Full Review The Phantom of the Opera (1925) 90% 4/5 EDIT “Lon Chaney's magnetism and the overall impact of the suspense and reveal is still impressive.” – Empire Magazine Aug 12, 2008 Full Review Othello (1955) 87% 4/5 EDIT “Welles genius behind the camera brings one of the Bard's darkest plays to life.” – Empire Magazine Jun 18, 2008 Full Review The Wizard of Oz (1939) 98% 5/5 EDIT “The songs and magic are still fresh, even if it isn't quite knowing enough, perhaps, for today's young audiences.” – Empire Magazine May 12, 2008 Full Review The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007) 94% 4/5 EDIT “A poignant reflection on what it means to be alive and, visually, a true cinematic experience.” – Empire Magazine Feb 8, 2008 Full Review Closing the Ring (2007) 32% 3/5 EDIT “After recent disappointments Sir Dickie Attenborough is back on better, albeit old-fashioned, form.” – Empire Magazine Dec 28, 2007 Full Review The Brothers Solomon (2007) 17% 1/5 EDIT “Audiences will need an epidural to endure the excruciating pain of watching this geek-and-jerk combo stumble through three trimesters.” – Empire Magazine Nov 1, 2007 Full Review Death at a Funeral (2007) 63% 3/5 EDIT “A sole potty joke is unnecessarily crass, but for the most part this is joyfully funny.” – Empire Magazine Nov 1, 2007 Full Review Horror of Dracula (1958) 89% 4/5 EDIT “It may have slipped from an X rating to a 12A but this is still a potent adaptation of Bran Stoker's eternal monster.” – Empire Magazine Nov 1, 2007 Full Review The Lookout (2007) 87% 3/5 EDIT “Plot holes and a mixed tone lessen the impact but Gordon-Levitt holds it together with a strong lead performance.” – Empire Magazine Nov 1, 2007 Full Review Daddy Day Camp (2007) 1% 1/5 EDIT “Worse than you can possibly imagine - no, really!” – Empire Magazine Oct 19, 2007 Full Review War (2007) 14% 2/5 EDIT “Li and Statham (and the audience) deserve better.” – Empire Magazine Sep 28, 2007 Full Review Faust (1926) 91% 4/5 EDIT “Visually striking early telling of the German folktale.” – Empire Magazine Sep 25, 2007 Full Review True North (2006) 82% 4/5 EDIT “A tense thriller with an important social message.” – Empire Magazine Sep 14, 2007 Full Review Fanny and Alexander (1982) 100% 5/5 EDIT “An accomplished masterpiece, with excellent performances and rarely bettered direction.” – Empire Magazine Aug 10, 2007 Full Review
