    ND/NF REVIEW: Family/Labor Drama "Human Resources" Strikes (Smartly)

    by Indiewire on April 5, 2000

    ND/NF REVIEW: Family/Labor Drama "Human Resources" Strikes (Smartly)by Stan Schwartz(indieWIRE/4.5.2000) -- French director Laurent Cantet's first feature film "Human Resources" is a pleasure to watch for any number of reasons. First and foremost of these is the simple fact that, unlike far too many independent films that concern themselves with self-absorbed characters given to excessive navel-gazing, "Human Resources" is actually about something concrete, adult and exterior to the protagonist's personal angst. In positing the story of a prodigal son who returns home to take a managerial position in the factory where his father is a lowly as...

    ND/NF REVIEW: "Journey to the Sun," A Turkish Delight of Injustice and Poetry

    by Indiewire on March 30, 2000

    ND/NF REVIEW: "Journey to the Sun," A Turkish Delight of Injustice and Poetryby Mark Peranson(indieWIRE/3.30.2000) -- Yesim Ustaoglu's courageous second feature handles the subjects of police brutality, flagrant injustice and political repression with a deft hand -- the result is more a poetic mourning about the state of a state than a harsh piece of anti-Turkish propaganda. I'll rephrase that: "Journey to the Sun" is a subtle work of anti-government propaganda, which also manages to sustain a tense atmosphere as politics start to dominate the lives of its main characters. More of a love on the run than a less racist version of "Midnight Expr...

    ND/NF REVIEW: "Suzhou River"; It's Déjà Vu All Over Again

    by Indiewire on March 29, 2000

    ND/NF REVIEW: "Suzhou River"; It's Déjà Vu All Over Againby Mark Peranson(indieWIRE/3.29.2000) -- Named after the murky, polluted river that floats through Shanghai, "Suzhou River" confidently charts how its filth overflows into a noirish gangland story of a kidnapping, a girl, a motorcycle driver, and another pair -- the narrator and his girlfriend, who are their doubles. Heads, tails, and stripes above all other films that competed at this year's International Film festival Rotterdam Rotterdam -- and one of the eventual winners of the festival's top award -- was Lou Ye's very assured and engrossing tale. You're unlikely to fin...

    ND/NF REVIEW: Slovenian Pic Idly "Running" Along

    by Indiewire on March 28, 2000

    ND/NF REVIEW: Slovenian Pic Idly "Running" Alongby Andrea Meyer(indieWIRE/3.28.2000) -- Dizzy, the lanky, nonchalant antihero of Slovenian director Janez Burger's debut feature "Idle Running," graduated from college some time ago. He still lives in his own private room in the dorms, though. If he didn't, where else would he drink and play cards with the boys, spend hours staring at a TV screen, and sleep with his girlfriend when she deigns to visit? The cute girl from down the hall, Evy (Polona Lovsin), who visibly has a crush on him, knocks sweetly when it's time for lunch. A maid cleans up his empty beer cans. And if he feels like fondling ...
