9 (2009)

Not exactly fully-developed, but interesting nonetheless – this is an animation about an apocalyptic world that is more suitable for teenagers than kids.

317th Platoon, The (1965)

  • Others
  • 1965, France, Pierre Schoendoerffer
  • 4 Comments

This war film shot in Cambodia and lensed by the great Raoul Coutard strongly emphasises on realism, but may feel slightly underwhelming.

An unusual and at times powerful Soviet WWII movie about a male sergeant leading a group of inexperienced women soldiers into a skirmish with marauding Nazis.

Talking About Trees (2019)

  • Leave a comment

Cinema can be the raison d’รชtre for many of us, but this illuminating Sudanese documentary shows us that it can also be a marker of a lifetime of despair.

Polished yet brutally raw, this Ukrainian sign language film is an audacious piece of cinema.

Bears’ Famous Invasion of Sicily, The (2019)

You wouldnโ€™t expect that a French animation about walking-and-talking bears could possess both depth and intelligence, plus itโ€™s so fun to watch.

Bait (2019)

Thereโ€™s something anachronistic about its visual style, but Mark Jenkinโ€™s modern 16mm experiment about social tensions in an English fishing village largely impresses with its extraordinary use of nearly all manner of montage.ย

Hail Satan? (2019)

Provocative in an important way, this cautionary if hilariously satirical documentary emphasises the need to be open to understanding minority groups in pluralistic, secular countries.

Elizabeth Olsen delivers a first-rate performance in this restrained tale about trauma and paranoia.ย
