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.

Light Sleeper (1992)

  • Schrader, Paul
  • 1992, Paul Schrader, USA
  • 2 Comments

Schraderโ€™s terrific work here treads familiar thematic ground as his โ€˜Taxi Driverโ€™, 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 Sophoclesโ€™ famous Greek tragedy, as interpreted by Brecht, and give it an austere โ€˜filmed theatreโ€™ treatment that is minimalist, esoteric and occasionally forceful.

Autumn Moon (1992)

  • Law, Clara
  • 1992, Clara Law, Hong Kong

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
  • 3 Comments

Still one of Tsaiโ€™s very best, this is a solid feature debut that grapples with the ennui of โ€˜90s youth listlessness with stylistic aplomb.

Hard Boiled (1992)

  • Criterion Collection, Woo, John
  • 1992, Hong Kong, John Woo
  • 5 Comments

One of the genre’s greatest achievements, this represents everything that is so virile about John Woo’s unique brand of action cinema.

Reservoir Dogs (1992)

  • Tarantino, Quentin
  • 1992, Quentin Tarantino, USA
  • 6 Comments

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