A decade after his staggering documentaries The Act of Killing and The Look of Silence, Joshua Oppenheimer has now returned, but this time with a narrative feature. The End, which stars Tilda Swinton, George MacKay, Michael Shannon, Moses Ingram, Bronagh Gallagher, Tim McInnerny, and Lennie James has a logline unlike another this year: a human […]

Vermiglio is set in the eponymous alpine village during the waning days of WWII. Maura Delpero’s film, gorgeously shot by Leviathan cinematographer Mikhail Krichman, is a slow-moving fable that unfolds as a novelistic series of pastoral tableaus. The short chapters evoke Balzacian poetic realism and recall the sensual textures of last year’s The Taste of […]

It’s hard to overstate just how ubiquitous the Paddington films––particularly the 2017 sequel––have been in the British cultural consciousness over the last decade.

In an era where print magazines continue to shutter (most recently Cinema Scope and Total Film), it’s always a breath of fresh air for the industry of film journalism when a new one enters the game.

Whatever its pedigree in East Asia, the Tokyo International Film Festival has not nearly been so known to the Western world. A quick scan of past editions wouldn’t suggest it’s flown under-radar for good reason––line-ups comprise a strong mix of titles established at other festivals, debut directors, and cinematic luminaries on the competition jury––but perhaps […]

Sorry, Gladiator II (November 22) and Moana 2 (November 27), but I’m going all limited releases this month. Festival season has ended. Award season has begun (congrats to all Gotham nominees). So, while blockbuster sequels still populate most screens around town, they don’t possess the same real estate in cinephiles’ minds. We’re too busy trying […]
