Tale of Winter, A (1992)

  • Rohmer, Eric
  • 1992, Eric Rohmer, France
  • 1 Comment

There is a sense of both melancholy and hope in this strong effort by Rohmer as he fashions a drama about the unwavering faith of a single mother who believes in her own idiosyncratic conception of love. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Dracula (1992)

  • Coppola, Francis Ford
  • 1992, Francis Ford Coppola, USA
  • 3 Comments

When it is not weird and dark, its gaudiness might annoy, but there is a method to the madness as Coppola pulls every trick in the cinematographic and editing handbook to deliver a studio movie that no one would probably dare try to make in this vein again. 

⭐⭐⭐

Benny’s Video (1992)

  • Haneke, Michael
  • 1992, Austria, Michael Haneke, Switzerland
  • 1 Comment

Prefiguring the likes of ‘Funny Games’ and ‘Cache’, Haneke’s second feature is a challenging and disturbing work on media violence and its psychological ramifications. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me (1992)

  • Criterion Collection, Lynch, David
  • 1992, David Lynch, USA
  • Leave a comment

David Lynch tries too hard to be David Lynch in this atmospherically dense but superficial mystery-horror film.

⭐⭐⭐

Seventh Horse of the Sun, The (1992)

  • Benegal, Shyam
  • 1992, India, Shyam Benegal
  • Leave a comment

A mix of fiction and reality, and memory and imagination as Shyam Benegal weaves a complex drama full of literary qualities, but somehow isn’t compelling enough to get into.

⭐⭐⭐

And Life Goes On (1992)

  • Criterion Collection, Kiarostami, Abbas
  • 1992, Abbas Kiarostami, Iran
  • 2 Comments

Extraordinary docu-fictive filmmaking by Kiarostami as the second part of his ‘Koker’ trilogy brings us to the aftermath of the devastating 1990 Manjil-Rudbar earthquake via a skillfully deceptive meta-cinematic device. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Story of Qiu Ju, The (1992)

  • Zhang, Yimou
  • 1992, China
  • Leave a comment

This culturally vibrant but slowly-paced drama lacks the emotional pull that Zhang Yimou’s earlier films are famous for. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Light Sleeper (1992)

  • Schrader, Paul
  • 1992, Paul Schrader, USA
  • 1 Comment

Schrader’s terrific work here treads familiar thematic ground as his ‘Taxi Driver’, but make no mistake, this character study on guilt and salvation is stylistically a different animal.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Antigone (1992)

  • Straub-Huillet, Jean-Marie & Daniele
  • 1992, Daniele Huillet, France, Germany, Jean-Marie Straub
  • Leave a comment

Straub and Huillet take ancient Sophocles’ famous Greek tragedy, as interpreted by Brecht, and give it an austere ‘filmed theatre’ treatment that is minimalist, esoteric and occasionally forceful. 

⭐⭐⭐

Autumn Moon (1992)

  • Law, Clara
  • 1992, Clara Law, Hong Kong
  • 1 Comment

A Japanese man and a Hong Kong schoolgirl try to find meaning in their lonely existence as they are faced with uncertainties of the future in this thoughtful and introspective drama.

⭐⭐⭐⭐
