Curious Case of Benjamin Button, The (2008)

  • Criterion Collection, Fincher, David
  • 2008, David Fincher, USA
  • 3 Comments

An ambitious if poorly-paced film that struggles to sustain for long stretches despite the incredible technical wizardry on show.

⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 2.5 out of 5.

  • Criterion Collection, Fincher, David
  • 1997, David Fincher, USA

Flowers of Shanghai (1998)

  • Criterion Collection, Hou, Hsiao-Hsien
  • 1998, Hou, Hsiao-Hsien, Taiwan
  • 8 Comments

Like “The Assassin”, this is one of Hou’s most formally exquisite works – a gorgeous and sensuous take on the period costume drama.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

Hunger (2008)

  • Criterion Collection, McQueen, Steve
  • 2008, Ireland, Steve McQueen, UK
  • 5 Comments

Other Side of Hope, The (2017)

  • Criterion Collection, Kaurismaki, Aki
  • 2017, Aki Kaurismaki, Finland
  • 3 Comments

Takes a while to set off, but when it does, the film is Kaurismäki at his deadpan comedic best, with a touch of empathy for its characters.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.
