    REVIEW | 'core Truths: Joe Swanberg's "Hannah Takes the Stairs"

    by Kristi Mitsuda on August 18, 2007

    "It's like a musical couch," one character comments, shifting positions on a sofa with two others, nicely summing up the narrative thrust of the wispy but radiant "Hannah Takes the Stairs." The line also unwittingly references the cinematic cross-pollination taking place amongst the real-life troup...

    REVIEW | Last Gasp: Frank Oz's "Death at a Funeral"

    by Kristi Mitsuda on August 13, 2007

    "Death at a Funeral" is the kind of movie that inspires anticipatory eyeball-rolling--you feel like you've heard permutations of its punch lines in craftier incarnations numerous times before, even as it's just getting going. This hunch was confirmed when I was cued to chortle mightily at the incong...

    REVIEW | The Outside Scoop: Tom DiCillo's "Delirious"

    by Nick Pinkerton on August 11, 2007

    "Delirious" represents a return from direct-to-DVD purgatory for Tom DiCillo, still probably best remembered--when he is--for his calling card 1995 film, "Living in Oblivion," a self-reflexive look behind-the-scenes of an independent film shoot that piggybacked on the mid-'90s vogue for all things "...

    REVIEW | Sunset Stripped: Julie Delpy's "2 Days in Paris"

    by Kristi Mitsuda on August 7, 2007

    Paired with another scruffy American in Paris, Julie Delpy actively engages viewer recollections of "Before Sunset" in her DIY feature-length directorial debut. Playing like a rough-around-the edges reinterpretation of Richard Linklater's transcendent "Before Sunrise" sequel, "2 Days in Paris" echoe...

    REVIEW | Kissability: Christophe Honore's "Dans Paris"

    by Indiewire on August 4, 2007

    If the critical act can be described simply as the attempt to reconcile in words a personal aesthetic philosophy with that of another as expressed through an artistic work, then criticism comes easiest when a work's flaws and missteps are apparent, the creator's ineptitude runs rampant, or the guidi...

    REVIEW | Moving Up: Jule Gavras's "Blame It on Fidel"

    by Indiewire on August 3, 2007

    Julie Gavras's first feature "Blame It on Fidel" is based on an Italian novel of the same name, but given that the filmmaker's father is Costa-Gavras, the famously committed leftist director behind "Z," a sense of covert autobiographical impulse hovers over the adaptation. Her protagonist, Anna (Ni...

    REVIEW | Dark Undercurrents: Stefan Krohmer's "Summer '04"

    by Michael Rowin on August 1, 2007

    Crystal blue waters on which sailboats glide; cooling, hushed evenings for night drives; creaking floorboards of vacation retreats: "Summer '04" uses familiar elements from seasonal coming-of-age and romance films and twists them to sinister, damaging effect. Director Stefan Krohmer and screenwriter...

    REVIEW | Most Unbecoming: Julian Jarrold's "Becoming Jane"

    by Chris Wisniewski on July 30, 2007

    Towards the end of "Becoming Jane," a new - and generally lousy - dramatization of the early life of novelist Jane Austen, a would-be suitor to the inimitable Ms. Austen utters the phrase, "It is a truth universally acknowledged...," and the great opening line to "Pride and Prejudice" is born. It's ...
