    TRIBECA '07 | Critics Notebook 4: Reel Politic

    by Howard Feinstein on May 2, 2007

    Hollywood cranked out a plethora of movies about World War II and the Korean War as they were being fought. But it took years after Vietnam and the Gulf War for the U.S. to make fiction features about them. Today, American documentarians are pretty much the only filmmakers addressing the wars in Ira...

    REVIEW | In Loving Memory: Sarah Polley's "Away from Her"

    by Michael Koresky on May 2, 2007

    For moviegoers, the thought of "losing" Julie Christie might simply be too much to bear. That's why Sarah Polley's got a devastating hook in her crystalline feature debut "Away from Her": as Christie's Alzheimer's-afflicted Fiona slowly slips away from her husband Grant (Gordon Pinsent), she's also ...

    REVIEW | Bad Education: Emmanuel Bordieu's "Poison Friends"

    by Nick Pinkerton on April 26, 2007

    "Poison Friends" revives a rare pleasure of moviegoing: articulacy. Ten years ago Phillip Lopate diagnosed a "Dumbing Down of American Movies," and the disproportionate praise given to reactionary "realism" in recent indies suggests that, as expectations shrivel, things have gotten stupider across t...

    TRIBECA '07 | Critics Notebook 2: A Crossroads of Marriage and Nature

    by Howard Feinstein on April 25, 2007

    Is it possible that the geographical sources of the best Tribeca films that touch on nature and the overall concept of beauty reveal some major lack in the West? By default? Perhaps the sterility of much of our consumer-friendly culture has pulled us away from the natural world and the realm of genu...

    TRIBECA '07 | Critics Notebook 1: Breaking Down a Carnival of Art and Politics

    by Howard Feinstein on April 24, 2007

    Art and politics: two poles rightfully addressed by many of the selections in a film festival located (more and more virtually) near the festering hole that was the World Trade Center. The Tribeca Film Festival is so large (157 features) that this article covers those that most neatly fit into the "...

    REVIEW | The Gift Horse: Robinson Devor's "Zoo"

    by Indiewire on April 23, 2007

    In gentler times, a film that sets out to seriously tackle taboo zoophilia might have elicited a bump on the cause celebre Richter scale, but in these post-everything days, when images and ideas far more controversial and chilling are readily available to any who care to look for them, there's littl...

    REVIEW | Light It Up: Francis Veber's "The Valet"

    by Nick Pinkerton on April 18, 2007

    Francis Veber has been an industrious source of chipper, very lucrative French screen farces for well over 30 years, working first as a screenwriter, then as a director, amassing credits on such popular titles as "La Cage aux Folles" and "The Dinner Game," as well as a smattering of American remakes...

    REVIEW | Rent-a-Cop: Edgar Wright's "Hot Fuzz"

    by Nick Pinkerton on April 17, 2007

    "Hot Fuzz" is the fulfillment of most any movie-glutted provincial adolescent's study-hall daydreams - basically, to turn their town into the set of an action movie smash-up. Filming in his hometown hamlet, Somerset, Wells, director Edgar Wright must be realizing set pieces that he mentally storyboa...

    REVIEW | Lovely and Amazing: Apichatpong Weerasethakul's "Syndromes and a Century"

    by Michael Koresky on April 14, 2007

    Though it's riding a wave of critical exultation, "Syndromes and a Century" will surely still baffle and unsettle much of its audience---a necessity in our film culture. The gently swaying provocations of Apichatpong Weerasethakul's latest experiment in narrative palpate the edges of what today's ma...
