Monos (2019)

  • Others
  • 2019, Alejandro Landes, Colombia
  • 1 Comment

This survivalist tale balances its raw, primitive edge with a stylish and contemporary visual style, but like a fever dream, it is intense but also unfocused.ย

Goodbye, Lenin! (2003)

  • 2003, Germany, Wolfgang Becker

The film combines drama and comedy effectively in a largely engaging piece about how sociopolitics can affect the personal in absurd ways.ย

Good Lawyer’s Wife, A (2003)

  • Others
  • 2003, Im Sang-soo, South Korea
  • Leave a comment

Im Sang-soo fashions a sexually-explicit drama about a disintegrating family that doesnโ€™t quite work in a meaningful way, but its playful nature might prove charming for less demanding audiences.ย

Not Mine to Love (1967)

  • 1967, Israel

Accompanied by a low-key jazzy score, this is a light and sensual take on the complications of a past romance.
