Carlito’s Way (1993)

  • De Palma, Brian
  • 1993, Brian De Palma, USA

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

Hard Target (1993)

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

As an action film, John Wooโ€™s first foray into Hollywood filmmaking ticks the right boxes, plus itโ€™s also one of my favourite Van Damme outings.

Ocean Waves (1993)

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

Perhaps unfairly regarded as a minor Ghibli, thereโ€™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.

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

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

Puppetmaster, The (1993)

  • Hou, Hsiao-Hsien
  • 1993, Hou, Hsiao-Hsien, Taiwan

This is Houโ€™s masterpiece โ€“ a mammoth work about tradition and family, astonishingly crafted, and wrapped in the kind of historical fervour that gives it its power.
