A sensual debut feature from Vietnam that explores the impact of an ultra-patriarchal community on its sufferable women, with beautiful and naturalistic cinematography to boot.

Dogville (2003)
Takes too long to say what it wants to be consistently interesting, but one must marvel at how Lars von Trier and his ensemble cast do so much with so little.
After the Storm (2016)
Not one of the master’s finest, but Koreeda’s subtle touch continues to bring warmth and insight to the complexity of modern family relations.
Still Walking (2008)
Koreeda’s mastery of the subtle gives this drama an emotional weight as pure as life itself.
Like Father, Like Son (2013)
One of the year’s very best, this new Koreeda feature is thematically dense, yet plays out in a highly resonating and honest way about human relationships.
Marriage of Maria Braun, The (1979)
A powerful if narratively-dense film imbued with a devastating sense of cruel irony, with Fassbinder’s masterful control over sound especially striking.
Satan’s Brew (1976)
Fassbinder’s comedic farce of a film is shocking, revolting, and occasionally enjoyable.
