Pom Poko (1994)

  • Takahata, Isao
  • 1994, Isao Takahata, Japan, Studio Ghibli
  • 4 Comments

A tad long and sometimes incoherent in its thematic direction, but this eco-tale of shape-shifting raccoons could be Takahata’s most creative and fantastical effort.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Vive L’Amour (1994)

  • Tsai, Ming-liang
  • 1994, Taiwan, Tsai, Ming-liang

Tsai’s Venice Golden Lion-winning second feature may be sparse and silent, but it remains to be one of the deepest portrayals of existential loneliness in the director’s singular filmography.  

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.
