After watching Zodiac Killer Project, it’ll be hard to view any true-crime mystery documentary the same way again. But if there’s one filmmaker who could pull it off, it’s Errol Morris. Just a few months after this last documentary Separated, the legendary director has adapted Tom O’Neill and Dan Piepenbring’s CHAOS: Charles Manson, the CIA, […]

That it has been nine months since Alain Guiraudie’s Misericordia premiered at Cannes should do nothing to diminish the excitement of its U.S. release finally commencing next month. I saw the film right in the heart of a busy NYFF schedule and have found it retaining more than most, still disturbing me well after a […]

The fact that only two German films were selected to compete at the 75th Berlinale raised some eyebrows and sparked interest in the pair of sophomore features that received the distinction over new works from higher-profile filmmakers like Tom Tykwer and Jan-Ole Gerster. One such designated Golden Bear contender is Yunan by Syrian-born, German-based director […]

In one of many well-executed nods to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Cinerama-style red and blue credits play over a black screen to sizzling ’60s surf rock, a whiff of violent glee in the air. Suddenly, we smash-open inside a sickly green pawn shop where circus ringmaster Adam Scott stands in nervous tension, toy […]

There was Dewey Finn, Ned Schneebly, Willoughby, Mason Evans Sr.––now there’s Lorenz (or Larry) Hart. Richard Linklater likes a certain type of guy, and maybe these features come across too infrequently in his female characters: charismatic, voluble, verbose, enthusiastic as a puppy, and if prone to morose stretches, never in a way that destabilizes an […]

Not a single image of warfare can be found in Ukranian director Kateryna Gornostai’s Timestamp, but the irrevocable effect of Russia’s unjustified invasion of her country can be felt in every expression, utterance, and the overwhelming destruction left behind.

Maybe it was the investigative element of this method that […]
