Heroic Trio, The (1993)

  • To, Johnnie
  • 1993, Hong Kong, Johnnie To
  • Leave a comment

To deliberately takes B-movie action preposterousness to wildly delirious levels in this work of inventive imagination and delightful campiness. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

King of the Hill (1993)

  • Criterion Collection, Soderbergh, Steven
  • 1993, Steven Soderbergh, USA
  • 1 Comment

Soderbergh’s first studio effort is rich in its ‘30s Depression-era period detail, while also functioning as a coming-of-age tale with an unexpected touch of warmth. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Boatman (1993)

  • Rosi, Gianfranco
  • 1993, Documentary, Gianfranco Rosi, India, Italy
  • Leave a comment

Rosi’s eye-opening first-ever documentary could be his finest—he plants his camera on a boat along the holy Ganges River, capturing the assortment of sights, sounds and fervent opinions, as it meditates on the cycles of life and death.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

Tree, the Mayor and the Mediatheque, The (1993)

  • Rohmer, Eric
  • 1993, Eric Rohmer, France
  • Leave a comment

This is one of Rohmer’s more styleless films, though it is inherently more political than most of his output as he intellectualises the nature of political ecology, which may occasionally if unexpectedly come across as a tad dry.    

⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3 out of 5.

Jurassic Park (1993)

  • Popular, Spielberg, Steven
  • 1993, Steven Spielberg, USA

Spielberg at his unabashedly most entertaining since Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Carlito’s Way (1993)

  • De Palma, Brian
  • 1993, Brian De Palma, USA
  • Leave a comment

An underrated and fatalistic crime drama led by the Scarface De Palma-Pacino combo, with Sean Penn giving a superlative supporting performance.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Hard Target (1993)

  • Woo, John
  • 1993, John Woo, USA
  • Leave a comment

As an action film, John Woo’s first foray into Hollywood filmmaking ticks the right boxes, plus it’s also one of my favourite Van Damme outings.  

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Ocean Waves (1993)

  • Others
  • 1993, Japan, Studio Ghibli
  • Leave a comment

Perhaps unfairly regarded as a minor Ghibli, there’s something deeply charming about its portrayal of teenage infatuation and matters of the heart that are set against the context of high school life.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Oh, Woe Is Me (1993)

  • Godard, Jean-Luc
  • 1993, France, Jean-Luc Godard
  • Leave a comment

An experimental audiovisual essay by an increasingly iconoclastic ‘90s Godard that abstractly ruminates about religion, philosophy, love and politics in the only way he can.

⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 2.5 out of 5.

C’est la vie, mon cheri (1993)

  • Others
  • 1993, Derek Yee, Hong Kong
  • Leave a comment

This is Hong Kong tear-jerking melodrama at its best, boasting a superb performance by Anita Yuen.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.
