    Foul Play: Thomas Vinterberg's "Dear Wendy"

    by Eric Hynes on September 19, 2005

    Putting the nature and quality of his films aside for the moment, Lars von Trier, the jolly sadist Danish director and writer, is simply useful to have around. Like a brash, needling party guest, he starts conversations. Less committed interrogator than pathological provocateur, his films demand r...

    For the Boys: Paul Etheridge-Ouzts' "HellBent"

    by Indiewire on September 12, 2005

    Though it's far from the "first gay slasher film," as it has been momentously touted (hello? "A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge" anyone?), Paul Etheridge-Ouzts's "HellBent" might be the first horror movie that's quite so unapologetically gay-friendly. Serial killer films have been chocka...

    Meet Me in St. Tropez: Olivier Ducastel & Jacques Martineau's "Cote d'Azur"

    by Indiewire on September 7, 2005

    To include Olivier Ducastel and Jacques Martineau among France's best-unsung contemporary filmmakers would probably be a bit of a hyperbolic stretch. Yet in the interest of making someone sit up and take note, I'll dare to do just that. Wearing their big-hearted generosity perhaps a bit too much on ...

    What Reverse Shot Learned During Summer Vacation: 13 Lessons

    by Indiewire on August 31, 2005

    We'd prefer not to have to once again go over the corrosive specifics of the summer's oft puzzled-over "summer slump." But with its projected "whopping" 9% drop from 2004's box-office totals and 11.5% decline in attendance, what are we supposed to do in response? Suddenly decry the paucity of strong...

    Brothers' Peepers: Gaël Morel's "Three Dancing Slaves"

    by Indiewire on August 23, 2005

    Andre Techiné's "Wild Reeds," still as urgently humane now as when it was released in 1995, has bestowed quite a legacy upon the new generation of French filmmaking. That film's psychosexual and political tangles have slowly but surely created tendrils that have reached all the way through an...

    Torture Chamber Drama: Park Chan-wook's "Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance"

    by Indiewire on August 15, 2005

    Quentin Tarantino doesn't make nearly enough movies. Thank heavens for Park Chan-wook. The first installment of Mr. Park's "Revenge Trilogy," "Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance," opens this week following, in reverse order, the surprise U.S. art-house success of his second entry in the series, "Oldboy." If...

    To Die From: Marcos Siega's "Pretty Persuasion"

    by Indiewire on August 9, 2005

    For all the critics lamenting the turn to all-style/no-substance MTV aesthetics, former music video veteran Marcos Siega's "Pretty Persuasion" could have done well with a stylistic shot in the arm. Producing deft, relevant social satire is tricky enough without leaden direction weighing it down, esp...

    Deep Breath: Phil Morrison's "Junebug"

    by Indiewire on August 2, 2005

    Having moved away from my small New England suburb to New York City many years ago, I have noticed, with each returning visit, my perspective on my childhood home further evolving into something mysterious and ineluctably specific. It's not just a matter of aging or nostalgia; there's a sense of dee...
