    REVIEW | With Friends Like This...: Patrice Leconte's "My Best Friend"

    by Nick Pinkerton on July 11, 2007

    The latest incoming shipment in the modest import business of innocuously predictable French screen farces, Patrice Leconte's "My Best Friend" caters to that conservative audience who seek shelter under the implicit sophistication of subtitle, and who are still not acclimated to the blithe transgres...

    REVIEW | Hide and Seek: Steve Buscemi's "Interview"

    by Michael Koresky on July 10, 2007

    Those who know that Steve Buscemi's new film, "Interview" is a remake of a 2003 film of the same name by Dutch filmmaker Theo Van Gogh, who was brutally murdered in 2004 by a militant Islamist for his outspoken condemnation of Muslim treatment of women, may be surprised by how commonplace the film i...

    REVIEW | Shrill Life: Cherie Nowlan's "Introducing the Dwights"

    by Kristi Mitsuda on July 2, 2007

    A first impression of the titular family in Cherie Nowlan's "Introducing the Dwights" (formerly known as "Clubland") has one imagining the film will be a sunny, Aussie-style quirkfest in the vanilla vein of many a Sundance flick. When his new girlfriend, Jill (Emma Booth), asks about meeting the pa...

    REVIEW | Body Contact: Pascal Arnold and Jean-Marc Barr's "One to Another"

    by Michael Koresky on June 27, 2007

    There's an ever more prevalent, if still marginalized, subgenre in international films today that is difficult to classify. In such films as Larry Clark's "Bully" and Gael Morel's "Le Clan" (released here as "Three Dancing Slaves"), groups of teenagers descend into violent oblivion while the filmmak...

    REVIEW | Zero for Conduct: Fredi M. Murer's "Vitus"

    by Nick Pinkerton on June 26, 2007

    Of the thin trickle of foreign films that ever see proper U.S. release, the "subtitled moppets" subgenre seems to me the most superfluous - and when a film like Switzerland's "Vitus" comes along, press kit boasting an Antoine de Saint-Exupery quote on the cover, one can only prepare to be cloyed to ...

    REVIEW | The Lower Depths: Asger Leth's "Ghosts of Cite Soleil"

    by Nick Pinkerton on June 26, 2007

    "Rap music influenced them people deep over there; they will live by it and they will die by it. And it ain't no Hollywood movie, it's the truth." So says Haitian-American musician Wyclef Jean, speaking on the street-level reality in Cite Soleil, a shantytown outside Port-au-Prince, and the central ...

    REVIEW | Prognosis: Dire, Michael Moore's "Sicko"

    by Michael Koresky on June 22, 2007

    After announcing itself with the requisite George W. Bush-as-incoherent-idiot sound bite, Michael Moore's "SiCKO" officially begins with a close-up of an unhealed wound. From that point on, Moore will train his camera on countless gashes and sores, most of them psychological, all of which hit the vi...

    REVIEW | The World at Large: Jennifer Baichwal's "Manufactured Landscapes"

    by Michael Rowin on June 20, 2007

    Initially, Jennifer Baichwal's "Manufactured Landscapes" recalls last year's "Our Daily Bread." A clinical crawl through a gargantuan Chinese factory - with its endless, evenly spaced stations of laborers glued to tedious tasks - hauntingly echoes similar tracking shots Nikolaus Geyrhalter used in h...

    REVIEW | Under the Rainbow: Pascale Ferran's "Lady Chatterley"

    by Nick Pinkerton on June 19, 2007

    Showered with Cesar awards in its native France, Pascale Ferran's "Lady Chatterley" faces a more uncertain fate stateside (Gallic awards committees can't resist a pretty woman in a field of sun-kissed wildflowers; just ask Claude Berri). Though based on a version of D.H. Lawrence's long-banned, "por...

    REVIEW | Staying Afloat: Aki Kaurismaki's "Lights in the Dusk"

    by Indiewire on June 15, 2007

    There's a fine line between an artist spinning out variations of core themes and merely treading water. No doubt some will find Aki Kaurismaki's deceptively slight, 77-minute "Lights in the Dusk" a textbook example of the latter, especially given the strenuously laudatory response that greeted his ...
