    iW REVIEW | Both Sides Now: Tony Kaye's "Lake of Fire"

    by Michael Rowin on October 1, 2007

    "Lake of Fire" begins with a shot of an anti-abortion billboard brandishing the words "Enjoy Life." No issue is so divisive in the United States as a woman's right to an abortion, and the idea of "life" - in terms of an embryo or fetus' status as a developed being, and in terms of the country's poli...

    REVIEW | Behind the Music, A Soulful Man: AJ Schnack's "Kurt Cobain About a Son"

    by Indiewire on October 1, 2007

    Taped conversations between Nirvana front-man Kurt Cobain and music journalist Michael Azerrad form the attention-grabbing center of director AJ Schnack's otherworldly documentary "Kurt Cobain About a Son." The true highlights of the film, more than Cobain's never-before-heard commentary on life, de...

    REVIEW | Foul Play: Marco Kreuzpainter's "Trade"

    by Michael Koresky on September 27, 2007

    Where to begin? Lowest-common denominator filmmaking in the guise of a "social problem picture," "Trade" does indeed make us mad, as director Marco Kreuzpaintner has said he wanted - but not in the way he intends. So much that's so wrong and so bad flies out of "Trade" so quickly that the audience p...

    REVIEW | Running on Schedule: Wes Anderson's "The Darjeeling Limited"

    by Michael Koresky on September 25, 2007

    Wes Anderson doesn't stray too far afield with "The Darjeeling Limited," but judging by his latest film's considerable merits, do we really want him to? Even a ten-year-old could point out the aesthetic and narrative similarities between Anderson's films, so consistently do they deploy the same visu...

    REVIEW | ...or Famine: Robert Benton's "Feast of Love"

    by Nick Pinkerton on September 24, 2007

    A disclaimer: If your immediate reaction to seeing the title "Feast of Love" appear on-screen accompanied by what sounds like music from a rainforest documentary is anything other than "Oh, God, I'm in the wrong movie!" it's probable that we approach film art from across an unbridgeable divide. And ...

    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...
