Wild at Heart (1990)

  • Lynch, David
  • 1990, David Lynch, USA
  • 1 Comment

Lynchโ€™s delirious Palme dโ€™Or-winning film starts very strongly but peters out as an incoherent if still fun, violent and erotic lovers-on-the-road movie.

Ju Dou (1990)

  • Zhang, Yimou
  • 1990, China
  • 5 Comments

A haunting circular tragedy, Zhang Yimou’s tale of passion, lust and angst in rural China is a visual powerhouse.

Godfather: Part III, The (1990)

  • Coppola, Francis Ford
  • 1990, Francis Ford Coppola, USA
  • 3 Comments

Good but not great, this final film of the ‘Godfather’ trilogy should still please the more generous fans.

Close-Up (1990)

  • Criterion Collection, Kiarostami, Abbas
  • 1990, Abbas Kiarostami, Documentary, Iran

A transcendent masterpiece that reveals intricate thematic complexities and showcases Kiarostami’s brilliance upon a closer and critical examination.

Red Dust (1990)

  • Others
  • 1990, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Yim Ho
  • Leave a comment

One could maybe marvel at its storytelling efficiency with a 90-minute narrative spanning decades of tumultuous modern Chinese history, but it doesnโ€™t quite know whether to be epic or cheesy in its treatment.

Bullet in the Head (1990)

  • Woo, John
  • 1990, Hong Kong, John Woo
  • 2 Comments

Thereโ€™s so much action in this movie that it leaves you dazed, yet despite its excesses the drama remains utterly convincing.

Miller’s Crossing (1990)

  • Coen, Joel & Ethan, Criterion Collection
  • 1990, Joel & Ethan Coen, USA
  • Leave a comment

Only their third feature, the Coens show that they could do a 1930s gangster movie in a style of their own.

Song of the Exile (1990)

  • Hui, Ann
  • 1990, Ann Hui, Hong Kong
  • 2 Comments

Ann Huiโ€™s underrated work is a masterful commingling of memory, identity and diasporas.
