    REVIEW | Sweet Nothings: Christophe Honore's "Love Songs"

    by Michael Koresky on March 16, 2008

    As in last year's "Dans Paris," 37-year-old filmmaker Christophe Honore ventures back to that lost Eden known as the French New Wave, this time to punch up a featherweight tale of young love and loss with high-concept tomfoolery. And though "Love Songs" (or, if we could please use its original, more...

    REVIEW | Dead Again: Michael Haneke's "Funny Games"

    by Michael Koresky on March 11, 2008

    Michael Haneke's 1997 "Funny Games" always seemed more like an instruction manual than a thriller, with the famously dyspeptic Austrian auteur hesitantly going through the genre motions only to teach us something he feels we really ought to learn. Now, as if to put all doubts of his intentional dida...

    REVIEW | The Road Well Traveled: William Maher's "Sleepwalking"

    by Leo Goldsmith on March 10, 2008

    When a film opens with shots of a straight and anonymous American highway -- that most overdetermined of American film locations -- as "Sleepwalking" does, one must be braced for a story about emotional journeys. A ribbon of asphalt stretching to the horizon is immediate shorthand for personal growt...

    REVIEW | A Winning Argument: Loretta Alper and Jeremy Earp's "War Made Easy"

    by Michael Rowin on March 9, 2008

    Though the early to mid-aughts documentary boom has recently died down, it's still difficult to believe there hasn't been a serious nonfiction indictment of the collusion between the government and the media in selling the invasion of Iraq to the American public. This accounts for a somewhat shamefu...

    REVIEW | Like, Actually: Bharat Nalluri's "Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day"

    by Nick Pinkerton on March 5, 2008

    A middle-aged, getting-your-groove-back Cinderella story: Miss Pettigrew, an unsuccessful domestic used to taking her meals in breadlines, maneuvers a job with a flighty American "actress" abroad, Delysia Lafosse. Just like that, prim Pettigrew is off the streets and hovering around the nexus of the...

    REVIEW | Aural Examination: Gus Van Sant's "Paranoid Park"

    by Michael Rowin on March 4, 2008

    Gus Van Sant's so-called "Death Trilogy" may have culminated two years ago with crowning achievement "Last Days," but to judge by his latest film, "Paranoid Park," the entropic weight of mortality is still very much at the center of the filmmaker's concerns. Moving beyond the Death Trilogy's Bela Ta...

    REVIEW | "Burbs of a Feather . . . " : Ira Sachs' "Married Life"

    by Chris Wisniewski on March 3, 2008

    "Married Life," the third feature from Ira Sachs, marks a major departure for the Memphis-born filmmaker. The first of his movies to take place away from his native South, and his only period picture, "Married Life" stakes out new thematic ground for a director whose previous efforts, "The Delta" an...

    REVIEW | Son of God: Paulo Morelli's "City of Men"

    by Nick Pinkerton on February 28, 2008

    2000's art-house megahit "City of God" has officially attained franchise status -- after spawning a made-for-television series, "City of Men," it's now passing a licensed spin-off of the same title along to theaters.

    REVIEW | Malignant Growth: Laura Dunn's "The Unforeseen"

    by Michael Koresky on February 27, 2008

    Due to the onslaught of environmental documentaries that prioritize urgency over intelligence, Laura Dunn's "The Unforeseen," an inquisitive, elegant rendering of the battle between land development and dwindling natural resources in Austin, might get lost in the shuffle. And what a shame that would...
