    Review: 'A Glimpse Inside The Mind Of Charles Swan III' Displays The Flair & Flaws Of Roman Coppola's Approach

    by Jessica Kiang on Tue Feb 05 18:59:00 EST 2013

    Roman Coppola may only be on his second directorial feature, but as a music video and commercials director, and as a writer and frequent Wes Anderson collaborator -- not to mention handling the second unit on various films from his famous family members -- he has certainly amassed a wealth of filmic...

    Göteborg Review: Volker Schlöndorff’s ‘Calm At Sea’ Is A Wrenching WWII Tale Told In Capable But Old-Fashioned Style

    by Jessica Kiang on Tue Feb 05 18:02:04 EST 2013

    A story that is apparently very famous all over France -- that of Guy Moquet, a 17 year-old boy executed by the Nazis as part of a reprisal for the assassination of one of their officers -- forms the heart of veteran German director Volker Schlondorff’s latest film, which screened at the Göteborg In...

    Now and Then: 'Side by Side,' I'll Still Take Film Over Digital

    by Matt Brennan on Tue Feb 05 13:29:12 EST 2013

    Smart, wide-ranging, and informative, "Side by Side" may be a postcard from the future of movies, but it's still intoxicated by the past. Its dreamiest moment comes at the outset, a montage of clips from the first century of cinema: Eadweard Muybridge's horses to "Do the Right Thing."

    Review: Steven Soderbergh's 'Side Effects' Shows He's Ready For a Break

    by Eric Kohn on Tue Feb 05 11:59:36 EST 2013

    According to Steven Soderbergh, "Side Effects" is the filmmaker's final feature-length directing credit, and it shows, partly because this rambling genre exercise very skillfully offers nothing new. The truth about Soderbergh's plans contain far more ambiguity and details: He has the HBO Liberace bi...

    Pablo Larraín's NO: A Movie That Says Yes To Itself

    by Matt Zoller Seitz on Mon Feb 04 09:30:03 EST 2013

    The Chilean film "No," written and directed by Pablo Larraín, is up for a foreign film Oscar this year. I hope it wins, if only to bring attention to an extraordinary film by an increasingly sophisticated director.

    Santa Barbara Review: 'Blumenthal' A Funny & Original Work That Heralds The Arrival Of A Unique New Voice In Seth Fisher

    by Katie Walsh on Sat Feb 02 10:54:35 EST 2013

    “Blumenthal” is a film about three Blumenthals. There’s Harold (Brian Cox), the famous playwright who died laughing at his own joke. There’s his brother, Saul (Mark Blum), an English professor who feels entitled to a bit of Harold’s success and has had some issues, ahem, not letting things… go. And ...

    Sundance: Jane Campion Talks 'Top of the Lake,' Review and Roundup

    by Anne Thompson on Fri Feb 01 16:28:43 EST 2013

    If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Jane Campion marks yet another first-rate filmmaker ("The Piano") who when faced with an uphill climb to get such idiosyncratic smart-films as "Bright Star" financed and released, has transitioned to long-form television. It's a sheer delight to see her stretch out i...

    When Netflix announced that they would get into the scripted programming game, with three high profile projects all lined up for the first half of 2013 (including the Eli Roth literary-based Gothic horror project "Hemlock Grove" and the hopefully rapturous return of oddball comedy classic "Arrested ...
