Il Grido (1957) 71% EDIT “The camera's spare, stunning compositions and the tone of loss and disaffection anticipate Antonioni's later, brilliant explorations of bourgeois anomie.” – Village Voice Jul 31, 2007 Full Review Cave of the Yellow Dog (2005) 90% EDIT “At times the film's Buddhist lessons feel a bit forced, but the naturalistic performances Davaa has coaxed from a real-life Mongolian family, and her intimate understanding of their culture and values, give this sensitive portrayal its heft.” – Village Voice Nov 7, 2006 Full Review The Rules of the Game (1939) 97% EDIT “If you think you know it, see it again for its newly rediscovered depth of field, and even more, for its infinite wellsprings of character and empathy.” – Village Voice Oct 31, 2006 Full Review Sophie Scholl: The Final Days (2005) 87% EDIT “Julia Jentsch gives a brilliantly nuanced performance as Sophie, a fun-loving girl who likes marmalade and Schubert but also happens to be a rare beacon of conscience in totalitarianism's dark night.” – Village Voice Feb 14, 2006 Full Review My Name Was Sabina Spielrein (2002) 75% EDIT “This evocative film is a poignant testament to the twin forces of love (however blighted) and the unconscious.” – Village Voice Dec 28, 2005 Full Review Touch the Sound (2004) 88% EDIT “It's rare that a documentary conveys an artist's worldview so compellingly, but then Glennie is no ordinary musician.” – Village Voice Sep 6, 2005 Full Review Wall (2004) 68% EDIT “Disturbing and compelling.” – Village Voice Aug 23, 2005 Full Review The Alzheimer Affair (2003) 84% EDIT “Van Looy has created a fast-paced and stylish thriller.” – Village Voice Aug 23, 2005 Full Review The Great Water (2004) 71% EDIT “Despite the choppy script and cartoonishly bad villains, what emerges is a compelling tale of the moral compromises a corrupt system demands of even its most unwilling participants.” – Village Voice Jun 14, 2005 Full Review Caterina in the Big City (2003) 90% EDIT “Pitch-perfect performances and a light-handed but razor-sharp script keep this satire brisk and biting.” – Village Voice May 31, 2005 Full Review The Two of Us (1968) 94% EDIT “Some may find Berri's portrait of provincial France and its prejudices too loving, but it has the ring of a truth that escapes ideologies.” – Village Voice May 24, 2005 Full Review Another Road Home (2004) 75% EDIT “[A] moving film.” – Village Voice Apr 26, 2005 Full Review David Hockney: The Color of Music (2005) 57% EDIT “This delightfully sensual documentary gets inside the artist's creative process while also treating viewers to glorious music by the likes of Wagner and Satie.” – Village Voice Apr 5, 2005 Full Review In Satmar Custody (2004) 80% EDIT “Chilling and thoroughly engrossing.” – Village Voice Apr 5, 2005 Full Review Nina's Tragedies (2004) 61% EDIT “With improbable charm, Gabizon knits it all together, his characters' sexual obsessions and earthiness tempered by a soulful melancholy.” – Village Voice Mar 22, 2005 Full Review Walk on Water (2004) 75% EDIT “The complex questions Walk on Water raises receive only confused answers.” – Village Voice Mar 3, 2005 Full Review The Religion Hour (My Mother's Smile) (2002) 83% EDIT “Uncannily beautiful and deeply humanist.” – Village Voice Feb 8, 2005 Full Review The Keys to the House (2004) 83% EDIT “Amelio's camera captures with subtlety and without sentimentality the state of mind of a parent for whom every child running freely in the park is a painful reminder of another's limitations.” – Village Voice Dec 21, 2004 Full Review Whore (2004) 0% EDIT “The subjects can be amusing, chilling, or tragic -- but in the end, they offer few surprises.” – Village Voice Dec 14, 2004 Full Review The Deserted Station (2002) 100% EDIT “Hardcore Kiarostami devotees may miss the master's harsher clarity, but Hatami, best known for her starring role in Dariush Mehrjui's Leila, makes her character's inner transformation both subtle and palpable.” – Village Voice Nov 30, 2004 Full Review Noel (2004) 28% EDIT “Most of the redemptive notes ring false, as does the mythical Manhattan, where the snow is just too clean and everybody lives around the corner.” – Village Voice Nov 9, 2004 Full Review Being Julia (2004) 76% EDIT “Bening's comic gifts make the most of Ronald Harwood's witty screenplay.” – Village Voice Oct 12, 2004 Full Review The Heart Is Elsewhere (2003) 71% EDIT “If you can suspend your disbelief regarding Nello's navet, this film offers some quiet pleasures.” – Village Voice Sep 21, 2004 Full Review Vanity Fair (2004) 50% EDIT “The pacing feels choppy, and the characters' emotions are sometimes too sudden to be believable.” – Village Voice Aug 31, 2004 Full Review Almost Peaceful (2002) 73% EDIT “Deville has managed to preserve the work's great virtues -- the intimacy, discretion, grace, and humor with which it speaks of both irredeemable disaster and the taste for life that survives it.” – Village Voice Aug 17, 2004 Full Review
