    REVIEW | Morning Glory: Zabou Breitman's "The Man of My Life"

    by Michael Koresky on September 20, 2007

    Ebbing and flowing on the buzz of one all-night conversation, French director Zabou Breitman's "The Man of My Life" sketches the blossoming relationship between two fortysomething men: the happily married Frederic and his unattached, gay neighbor Hugo. And though occasionally its strength is sapped ...

    REVIEW | Gone With The Wind: Larry Fessenden's "The Last Winter"

    by Michael Koresky on September 19, 2007

    No one would mistake Larry Fessenden's independent horror project--encompassing films such as "Habit," "Wendigo," and now "The Last Winter"--as anything other than ambitious; yet this auteur certainly proves divisive among viewers. One needs to slough off expectations of what a "horror film" is supp...

    REVIEW | Material World: Francois Girard's "Silk"

    by Indiewire on September 15, 2007

    Alessandro Baricco's slim, lovely novel "Silk" works through structure and language (and structural and linguistic repetition) rather than character or plot. Sure, there is a plot: Herve, its nominal protagonist, travels to Japan a number of times in search of silkworms and returns to his native Fra...

    REVIEW | Outer Limits: David Cronenberg's "Eastern Promises"

    by Michael Koresky on September 13, 2007

    Filmed in burnished yellows that alternate between the sickly pallor of death and the glossily seductive underworld of organized crime, David Cronenberg's "Eastern Promises" is all about surfaces. Those of his characters, their clothes and skin, as well as the dimly lit restaurants and apartments th...

    REVIEW | Fool's Gold: Mike Cahill's "King of California"

    by Chris Wisniewski on September 12, 2007

    Michael Douglas is crazy (like a fox!) and lookin' for gold in "King of California," the debut feature from writer-director Mike Cahill. Cahill's a novelist who also happens to be friends with "Sideways" and "About Schmidt" auteur Alexander Payne--and just in case you miss Payne's producer credit he...

    REVIEW | After Effects: Paul Haggis's "In the Valley of Elah"

    by Chris Wisniewski on September 9, 2007

    For many, the jury is still out on Paul Haggis. The erstwhile television scribe turned Oscar-winner has certainly built an impressive resume in a short time, including partial or full screenwriting credit on four of the most acclaimed studio movies of recent years: Clint Eastwood's magnificent three...

    REVIEW | Wild Life: Griffin Dunne's "Fierce People"

    by Indiewire on September 7, 2007

    It's rare that a film as initially unfocused and scattershot as Griffin Dunne's mock-ethnographic "Fierce People" would halfway redeem itself through the introduction of an anal rape/revenge narrative--but here we have it. Discussion of redemption in this case is tricky--it's not as if the two halve...

    REVIEW | Another One from the Heart: John Turturro's "Romance & Cigarettes"

    by Michael Koresky on September 5, 2007

    If John Turturro's "Romance & Cigarettes" had been financed and released by a studio, it would have been a calamity on the level of Francis Ford Coppola's infamous "One from the Heart." That's not meant to be an insult. Though "One from the Heart" was one of many Hollywood productions (Michael Cimin...

    REVIEW | Return of the Repressed: William Friedkin's "Cruising"

    by Michael Koresky on September 4, 2007

    There are untold artistic benefits to living in a culture of critical reassessment--otherwise, what would current generations think of "Vertigo?" But if the glut of superfluous "special edition" DVD packages over the past ten years is any indicator, then there are also some sorry side effects. Falli...

    REVIEW | Love Among the Ruins: Eytan Fox's "The Bubble"

    by Michael Koresky on September 3, 2007

    Of course, it would follow that an Israeli filmmaker would center his films mostly around dichotomies, doubles, and impasses. Popular gay filmmaker Eytan Fox, whose previous two films, "Yossi and Jagger" and "Walk on Water," enjoyed healthy limited-run success in the U.S., returns with "The Bubble,"...
