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.

⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3 out of 5.

And Life Goes On (1992)

  • Criterion Collection, Kiarostami, Abbas
  • 1992, Abbas Kiarostami, Iran
  • Leave a comment

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. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

Story of Qiu Ju, The (1992)

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

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

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. 

⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3 out of 5.

Autumn Moon (1992)

  • Law, Clara
  • 1992, Clara Law, Hong Kong
  • Leave a 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.

Rebels of the Neon God (1992)

  • Tsai, Ming-liang
  • 1992, Taiwan, Tsai, Ming-liang
  • 2 Comments

Still one of Tsai’s very best, this is a solid feature debut that grapples with the ennui of ‘90s youth listlessness with stylistic aplomb.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Reservoir Dogs (1992)

  • Tarantino, Quentin
  • 1992, Quentin Tarantino, USA
  • 5 Comments

4 stars

Tarantino’s cracking debut establishes the style, tone, dialogue and violence that would make him arguably the most influential American filmmaker of the ’90s.
