Found in: Games, NewsThe Hunter
Though of a different genre, style and ideology, The Hunter parallels last year’s Drive in story and focus. Pensive and patiently paced, the film places an outsider in a perilous world where, amid a mission of crime, he entangles himself in the lives of a woman and her children, experiencing love and compassion for perhaps the first time. By film’s end, the tale has become a grand and gripping moral dilemma that, unlike Refn’s bleaker vision, plays out not as poetic justice but, instead, as divine grace.... read more

Given the current times, the apocalyptic 4:44 Last Day on Earth—the premise of which is summed up by the title—couldn’t be timelier. We live in a post-9/11 society bent toward fear and anxiety, a society uncertain about the future—the War on Terror, the nuclear program of Iran, global warming, the 2012 phenomenon. Unfortunately, this timely—and fascinating—premise turns out be the only thing Abel Ferrara’s latest has going for it.

The best movies, like the best books or paintings or whatever else, are works of passion. Unfortunately, though, while passion can drive you, it can also blind you to truly seeing what you’re creating, which is almost certainly the case with Julian Schnabel’s Miral. read more

Found in: Movies, NewsWillem Dafoe starring in Lars von Trier's Antichrist
Danish provocateur Lars von Trier has been surprisingly quiet since releasing The Boss of it All in 2006. Reports of his depression slowing down production seem to have some truth to them. Luckily, it looks like he's gotten back to work and, from the look of things, back to riling up audiences with his next project, Antichrist. ... read more
