    REVIEW | Picking Up the Pieces: "Paris, je t'aime"

    by Nick Pinkerton on May 4, 2007

    Chock-a-block with recognizable directors and thespians, "Paris, je t'aime" is a series of vignettes commissioned by producers Emmanuel Benbihy and Claudie Ossard. Each of its 18 segments is ostensibly connected through the concept of L'amour in the City of Lights (introduced, dazzling, under millen...

    REVIEW | Frozen Assets: Dominique Abel, Fiona Gordon, and Bruno Romney's "L'Iceberg"

    by Michael Rowin on May 3, 2007

    Considering "L'Iceberg," a cute-as-a-button-and-about-as-sharp-as-same feature debut comedy from Belgium by writing/directing/acting team Dominique Abel, Fiona Gordon, and Bruno Romney, it seems the deadpan ethos of Wes Anderson has found a home in mainland Europe. In a way, this style has come full...

    REVIEW | Terror Bull: Jeff Renfroe's "Civic Duty"

    by Nick Pinkerton on May 2, 2007

    Waiting for "Civic Duty" to start, I browsed its synopsis: an everyday guy, recently unemployed, spends all day taking in alarmist TV news and, saturated with images of swarthy bad guys, decides to undertake a paranoiac surveillance operation on his new Middle Eastern neighbor. As the lights went do...

    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...
